japanesebassman Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) There was a video released from a couple Japanese Shimano reps released about 5 hours ago, and it looks like they are releasing Shimano Scorpion Monster Drive, in a 300 size, and an XG model. The Scorpion DC 101 HG from 2017 is my favorite reel made, so I am pretty hype about this one coming out, definitely will be buying. They are also releasing a new Antares DC and a new Scorpion DC on top of the Scorpion Monster drive. The monster drive does not have a DC braking system though.

Chazzy Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 reshelled tranx! this reel was designed for big bait fishermen in japan who target Japanese Sea Bass. I dont expect much to be different other than color accents. I am looking forward to the potential that with a tranx now overseas, hedgehog studio and other companies that make after market parts will start making it possible to pimp your tranx!!

Hogan893 Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 The video of the Antares DC is wild. Watching him empty the spool during a cast is crazy! japanesebassman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japanesebassman Posted January 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 The awesome thing about that new Scorpion MD will be the 7.9:1 gear ratio they make. if i’m not mistaken that’s the fastest 300 size reel shimano makes.

Bass_blaster Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 I’ve always hoped they would do Tranx DCs (like how they used to have Trinidad DCs). The Scorpion Monster Drive seems pretty cool though. japanesebassman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are asking regarding the Scorpion Monster Drive, it’s a 300 size reel, with a different looking braking system. They are going to release a 7.9:1 gear ratio. It is also saltwater safe, so all the striper dudes out there have no worry. Bass the east and Jim137a 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new scorpion DC is going to have. 150 size spool opposed to the 100 size they had last time, and it will also have an MGL spool. The braking system will stay the same.

wtrwsel Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 Man I love my Shimano's. But man those brakes look eerily like the old Curado B series from the 90's. They were one of my most favorite reels beside the E series. japanesebassman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what’s the line capacity of the scorpion DC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
