'19 Scorpion MGL 150
Has anyone else been eyeing this reel up? If this is a Curado K with an MGL spool, I'd have to think it's going to be a winner. Does anyone know any other specs about it yet? I haven't really seen any other posts about this reel yet.
Re: '19 Scorpion MGL 150
I think it will do okay, especially in the US. If it were out before I bought my Chronarch MGL I probably would have bought the Scorpion MGL instead, due to ergonomics, aluminum frame, and assuming cheaper price. I also like the bigger knobs of the Curado K/new Scorpion style reel.fishballer06 wrote:Has anyone else been eyeing this reel up?

Yes... this is essentially the Curado K with an MGL spool painted in the traditional Scorpion reel color... should be a winner

It's been the traditional color of JDM Scorpions for decades longer than the Rocket has been around.LgMouthGambler wrote:I wouldnt say "traditional", more like a Revo Rocket coloring.

Red, yes. Red sideplates with a black frame, no.KlingerNOK wrote:It's been the traditional color of JDM Scorpions for decades longer than the Rocket has been around.LgMouthGambler wrote:I wouldnt say "traditional", more like a Revo Rocket coloring.

What's your point here? Are we seriously arguing over every reel that's ever been painted red?LgMouthGambler wrote:Red, yes. Red sideplates with a black frame, no.

Re: '19 Scorpion MGL 150
No. Just a specific paint "combo/style". If you cant see the resemblance, than I dont know what to tell you. Its an observation, dont get too excited.fishballer06 wrote:What's your point here?

Abu, Lews, most bps reels,browning and some others are all made by pure fishing which are all copies of each other anyway.
Most have interchangeable parts and I have to work on quite a few. (High school fishing team) Usually when I open one up and show a customer all the plastic for the thumb actuator and lack of bearing placement they always go to Shimano.

Re: '19 Scorpion MGL 150
Thanks for the heads up. I bought a 151HG from eBay last night before bed. I woke up this morning to tracking information and a message from the retailer thanking me for my order and giving me my tracking number again. Can't wait to receive it!kingzfan71 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 3:42 pmHeads up they are out now, eBay has them as well as Japan lure shop. I have mine on the way should be here by Saturday!

Re: '19 Scorpion MGL 150
$217 aint too bad. Hopefully they dont have the same thumb bar issues the Curado K has.
