Scorpion MGL
Scorpion MGL
Has anyone used it a decent amount so far? I am looking for a reel for my Expride 7M glass, and this is the front runner. My only real concern is the smaller handle on the 6.2:1, my choice for reaction baits. The Curado K has a bigger handle, but for me it lacks the "It" factor.

Re: Scorpion MGL
How much of the handle do you see when you're actually fishing?

Been using mine in the Salt catching Threadfin Salmon and also trolling and hard sticking Estuary Cod, so far so good, not a great deal of fish but a few that really put it through it’s paces. No problems casting, nice and smooth retrieve, I have the hg 7.4.

Re: Scorpion MGL
I've been putting some miles on mine since it was released. It's great for bombing Keitechs and spinnerbaits. I'm really happy with mine and I'm debating picking one up in a 6:1 to go with my HG.

Re: Scorpion MGL
For those of you that own the new red Scorpion MGL, what are the gears made of (brass or aluminum)?

Buy a 96mm Met handle for the Scorpion...problem solved.russ57 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2019 4:02 pmHas anyone used it a decent amount so far?

Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.
Re: Scorpion MGL
Curado K 96mm handle has squishier, bigger knobs.
Re: Scorpion MGL
Got the 6 speed in a few days ago. I won't be using it again until april due to the weather, but it definitely felt more effortless to cast then the K, and got a tad better distance. I will definitely be swapping out the handle to a 96mm one for next season.
The handle tolerence also seems tighter, but that may be because it is newer then my K and DC.

Re: Scorpion MGL
Didn't take long for one over here to go buzzy...
Not sure what ratio but the brass gears gone already after a couple handfuls of fish...

Re: Scorpion MGL
Pretty good reel, it’s similar to curado k but different in many ways
