Aldebaran DC7?
I have the Shimano Jackall Poison Glorious catalogue and on one page it shows a reel which looks to be an Aldebaran but it says DC7.. it looks to have a really shallow non ported spool. The only picture of it showed only the handle side so I couldnt see the DC controls. Maybe this is something thats scheduled for release later this year? A low profile 50 sized DC reel would be sweet!

it's probably likely that it's the new scorpion dc and no, i don't expect this to be brought over stateside for another couple of years

Negative on the Scorpion DC, they had a Scorpion DC mounted a few rods over.. its an Aldebaran for sure, just with a really shallow spool like the Cardiff DC.

looks to be true... no info from the japan show though here is the pix from the catalog...

Actually that was labeled wrong in the catalog, what it is, is just the aldebaran Mg with Shimano's new BFS (Bait Finesse System) Spool which they made for the aldebaran/scorpion1000xt and one for the metanium. I have the catalog too, plus the Lure Magazine that talks about the spool.
If you look at the picture of the Pro Staff Choice, look at the bottom where they list their tackle, none has a aldebaran Mg DC7 listed in their choices. It's because it was incorrectly labeled on the top pic.
