Shimano Lowers the Price Barrier to DC : Their 2017 Scorpion DC

Image

Introduction: Those familiar with our site will know I'm a big fan of Shimano's digital control (DC) braking system. Reels with this braking profile are among my all time favorites. Well, except for one. Back in late 2011 and into 2012 I was so excited to purchase and fish the original Scorpion DC but was then ultimately disappointed because that reel's whine had been silenced and it just didn't feel that special anymore. So when I caught wind of a new Scorpion DC for 2017, I was skeptical to say the least. Nevertheless, I was curious to see if this new interpretation was worthy of the DC moniker so I procured one for review. Here now is our take on Shimano Japan's 2017 Scorpion DC.

Edit needed : The 2017 Scorpion DC sports Daiwa's i-DC5 digital control system.

Wait, what?

Why is this reel being compared to a 70 size reel? The frame is clearly the same as the 200 Curado and Scorpion. That is why it weighs more.
