Re: Scorpion DC vs SLX DC
Following this one.
The '21 Scorpion DC is near the top of my list for a spare Z-Bone I have.
I have the '17 model on a first generation Steez Compile-X heavy, and I really like it for long casts presenting larger t-rigs.

Don't the JDM Scorpion DC's run the iDC-5. Over the poxy DC-4 found in the Curado and SLX?

Re: Scorpion DC vs SLX DC
Was a fantastic design that was underappreciated and engineered lazily...
I mean should've come in a PG option too. But good to see the tooling survived, but the SLX namesake is just way overused imho.
Re: Scorpion DC vs SLX DC
My vote is for the 17 Scorpion. I have a couple still that are used regularly.
Re: Scorpion DC vs SLX DC
You can get it as a PG with MM gears on the 17 Engetsu 100.

Then really only the '17 Scorp DC is comparable because the '21 Scorp DC is a 150 sized reel. It all depends on your intended application and more importantly, preferred line at that point.doomtrprz71 wrote: βThu Jun 15, 2023 7:02 pm
... if I buy an slx it'll be the jdm xt version the us version does have dc-4.

Re: Scorpion DC vs SLX DC
Body size vs spool size however.
Re: Scorpion DC vs SLX DC
70 and 100 are the same body.. 150 is larger
