Curado 70 vs Scorpion 70
Hey guys, question for you - I'm considering ordering the Curado 70 and wondered if theres an advantage (or disadvantage...) to buying the Scorpion version of that same reel? Any input would be appreciated, thank you !
Re: Curado 70 vs Scorpion 70
Warranty and paint would be the biggest differences.

Buy from US retailer and shimano USA will take care of issues within time frame. Buy scorpion and you'll habe to deal with Japan. That's the difference.

In the previous model the bearings were better, I'm not sure about this model though. But they are both made in the same factory in Malaysia. I have the curado 70 and the build quality is excellent.Congoman775 wrote:Any performance / build quality benefit to the Scorpion ?

The Scorpion 70 has a 6.3:1 ratio available. It also has 2 more bearings.

I preordered mine last month and Japan tackle shipped mine two days ago. Honestly I am looking forward to using it.
Re: Curado 70 vs Scorpion 70

Yes of course I was #2 on the list to get reel and I just got it today. I had placed my deposit on January 29 if that helps at all. What numbers are you on the list?
Re: Curado 70 vs Scorpion 70
Thank you for the response, I am #17 but they emailed me to say it's ready to ship! Hopefully I get it next week.kingzfan71 wrote:Yes of course I was #2 on the list to get reel and I just got it today. I had placed my deposit on January 29 if that helps at all. What numbers are you on the list?
