How many people cast with their right and reel with their left?
Me but switched to left retrieval, I left retrieval with spinning so it made sense nvr going back
I casn with my right and reel with my left. Im left-handed.
Me lol. Makes it easier i feel. Don’t have to keep switching hands to make a cast and engage the reel. Much more convenient if you ask me and efficient…
I do. Both casting and spin gear
That’s how you’re supposed to cast. Shimano makes its spool release fit the thumb easier by angling towards the casting hand with the reel on the opposite side.
Thank you so much for this!! I've been waiting on an American youtuber to review this thing. Love your channel and the content you put out. 👍👍
DUDE! That thing is amazing. Great video as always 👍🏻
Seeing this video makes me more excited of getting this reel
My goodness, what a gorgeous reel. I must get one now.
I just received one about two weeks ago and I absolutely love it!
Nice one! On the old one, I was using braid on the PE mode, and always using 1 for braking! It was working perfectly like that!
This one would also, simply apply a little more tension to the spool tension knob. This video is basically nonsensical.
Hey I ordered a few things from Japan Lure Shop and mentioned that you suggested trying them out. They had many good things too say about you. They wanted me to relay that to you. Great content as always👍👍
Lol well I have spent thousands of dollars with them, but their service is top notch! Even the way they package the items and tape up the boxes.
@@THEREELTEST Yeah thats the truth.
Please do a full review! And please try to BFS with it!
Scorpion DC and Expride? What a killer set-up!!! You're a man after my own heart!
Epic video!
Which would you recommend of 2015 metanium dc and 2021 scorpio dc? They are 50$ apart, but I can only afford one of them.
Hey bro great video! Really loved all the details and always love the SCRIPTURE in the begging but dang can we chill with all the HOLY SH*TS thruoghout the video lol c'mon bro lol
Im still a work in progress
You're perfect and amazing just the way you are......a sinner 😫. Nice vids, bro.
Just purchased one last day and start shipping today!
Howzit man, I firstly just want to thank you for your videos, I recently came across your channel and must say I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I would like to ask you for some help please, I'm from South Africa and after watching your how to buy JDM tackle video I have found Digitaka to be the cheapest for the Scorpion DC, what courier or means of transport do they use since our postal service is useless? Thanks man 🙂
The casting distance is remarkable.
Yes. Do one with a bfs rod and 4lb line
Nice sandals 👍🏻
The 2017 scorpion dc is one of my favorite reels, excited for this one
I'm torn between scorpion DC or metanium mgl. Can you do a comparison on both? Or the Metanium mgl beats the Scorpion DC hands down?
You got my biggest like impress 🎉
Any recommendation for line mode, which should I use to prevent backlash and get longer?
just got mine last week and tried it out last weekend... one good thing about the Scorpion DC or for that matter any DC reel.... the backlash IF it happens (regardless 1-4 levels ) is almost always VERY easy to clear vs a conventional baitcaster ...or is it in my mind. Whats your experience with this ?
I'd advise getting a cheap clip-on line counter to measure and call out the distances a little more accurately rather than you calling the different variations of "oh... thats abouttt sayy 30/40+ yards "
Love your channel!!
thats the piece of equipment I was waiting for in the mail.
on a japan channel the guy just counts the number of cranks as he reels in, after measuring the amount per crank before hand. This works very good as it can give instant feed back while you are fishing. 22 cranks this cast 25 this cast, and he can multiply it out if specific distance is needed.
I think it’s funny that there’s a “wind mode” I always considered casting into the wind one of the major benefits of the DC system in general and the the adjustments were just for lure weight. I was casting a 1/2 oz jig into a 15mph headwind with no issues on 3 with my 17 scorpion yesterday. I probably wouldn’t try that with a non DC reel
I think they just labeled it that for marketing purposes, but yeah, nothing is touching a DC reel into the wind
I have a scorpion dc 11.......it’s a lil old but still works flawlessly.
Are you able to do a drag power test on the 2021 Scorpion DC????
Legend said that is 100 years since he caught a fish
and now he caught another😂
Hey dude! How much thumb are you using at ext dial 2?
This video shows this way better the SLX DC! Greetings from United Kingdom. What’s your recommendation for around $130 - $175 reel for BFS / light medium lures? Regards Stuart
Can you do skips with idc5 please and testing modes to see the best?i receive my reel and test today but i m in N mode Wind to skip corectly and want to know if you share the same impression as me.The lure was a like a super fluke(Strike king cafeine shad)
Mine just came in the mail today - so perfect timing for your video! Question... I'm not able to get the side plate off - was there a "trick" to it? I don't want to force it, but when I move the switch out of the "closed" mode, it just won't come off. Thanks for the great reviews!!
so you are switching the dial to "open" and then pushing the latch? You kind of have to use a finger nail in the gap in between the frame and side plate and pry it apart
@@THEREELTEST ... that was the problem - I didn’t realize the dial also had to be on open .... difficult when all instructions are in Japanese! Thank you!!
Where did you order from?
What mono is that? Its beautiful
I've used bait casters for decades and refused to use a DC reel. BUT I got a SLX DC and am in love with it. I know how to use a regular bait caster quite well so I don't care about using a DC and don't consider it 'cheating' anymore!
Brother, I would consider the SLX DC(both USDM and JDM) to be about 80% of a DC reel lol
Yeah man, I feel ya. It's my intro to the game! Upgrades coming soooon!
The reel test guy is 100% correct. I have the curado dc and slx dc and they are amazing, especially for the price. But if you love the benefits of the dc brakes on an slx dc, you would go crazy over the brakes on a scorpion or metanium dc. The idc5 system is superior for sure and in a noticeable way. The reel test is about spot on with the 80% number. But again, I do love my curado and slx dc reels as well.
In terms of how much i use my slx dc to my scorpion dc, its more like 20% lol
@@ScroDiddly If you havent already, just watch this video and I explain it all ua-cam.com/video/8f6o88ULjIk/v-deo.html and of course show you video evidence :)
Nice
What do you think about the shimano Calcutta conquest 100 DC over the scorpion DC
I hear some extra braking happening on Wind mode right at the start of the cast.(compared to 4)
I want to know on the scorpion DC reel
if I set the adjustment to W or A and I don't put my thumb on the spool it is impossible to have a blacslash
Thank You
I am really super impressed with shimano...I was a daiwa dude and dont get me wrong I loved my tatulas but I had to really put a lot effort into casting small lures like the rapala orginal floater in the F7size(1/8th of ounce)...with my bantam I dont have to put that much effort into casting the same distance.
what kind of rod would u recommend?
What is the gear ratio of that reel?
Maybe I’m crazy, but it looked like you were casting 10 yards further than you were calling it. Either way it looks like an amazing reel, especially for the money. I ordered mine a few days ago. Should be here in the next week or two
it's call FOV, what you see from the camera may have some different from reality depend on camera focal length
actually, u can use no 1 brake but u need to tune the tension knob a little bit. 0 side to side play tension knob tune is superb for bfs setup but a no for medium to heavy setup. I can cast a 1/2oz lure reach 55 yards on 8-16lb 7' rod and 10lb 4x line. 0 brake and tension knob tune only(china reel). same tune on curado dc. 1.1oz lure reach 90 yards on 12-25 6'8 rod and 30lb 4x line and tension knob tune only. I'm just sharing my tune ✌😉. DC brake is a beast for a long cast😍
If I use PE(#1) and leader is FC(#5) cable, which Line mode is recommended ?
bty What kind of cable you use ?
สวยมากๆครับ
Hahaha very interesting..so long cast..what spec you are using..
I think we could know which one brake setting that has a further cast from how long the reel sings
Title of song is Sweet. Antares DC Sweet.
I like....
Good...
I thought about getting one of these, but I liked the black more from the 2017. Question though.. is it supposed to have alot of play in the crank?
its a new reel so the tolerances are still tight.
Use that RH reel the correct way. Cast with your left lmao. Good videos. Love the bantam series rods.
I cast and reel with my right and I can do so just as fast as anyone casting with their left because I switch mid air so no time wasted. That is the correct way for most right handed fisherman. I reel spinning reels with my left hand though.
@@EliteNugz I’m with ya, same here
I can do both and skip with both. I can't reel left with a casting reel though 😅...
@@EliteNugz me too..
New scorpion or 17’ scorpion? Thoughts?
What rod is this?
Trying to get my hands on on lefty from Japan.
best jdm reels coming soon?
It looks like an amazing reel but i wonder if the bass will not get used to the dc noise and stop biting.
Is nowhere close enough to loud enough to bother them irl. The microphone picks up the noise well and makes it seem louder than it is.
So if u were to buy a DC reel today would it be the 500$ metanium dc or the 21 scorpion dc?????? With budget not being a deciding factor. Looking to make my first DC purchase
which dc did you go with?
I've been watching the japan lure shop website like a hawk waiting for it to go back in stock
Check e bay you may find one man good luck
Same here man. Check it 100 times a day. They are like ghosts at the moment. Lol
Just get the quantum vapor pt on eBay for $100. That's $50 off retail and it will out cast and out last the scorpion.
when new reels come out, the 1st batches are always usually sold out QUICK to the local anglers.
Intro song should have came after the sound of the reel. Just fade it in. Would have been spectacular 😂
Crazy
With the Currado and de Slv Dc we have 4 ajustement (1-2-3-4)
With the Scorpions DC we have 5 (1-2-3-4-W )
What is W and when we us
i think we can possibly say the new 21 scorpion dc is the best dc reel to start baitcasting on a budget if you want a DC reel
If you want 100% of the DC experience yes
is this good for cranking?
I had 200$ worth of Amazon gift cards burning a hole in my pocket so i bought the 151, I'm used to reeling faster than i should so mabe it'll slow me down. It'll look good on my zodias or expride. Merry Christmas to me!!!
Where did you order your scorpion dc ?
How’s the drag performance
Interested to know if this reel can bfs
What Kind Of Line are you useing ?
Does this reel have drag clicker?
For the price it's a lot of bang for your buck. I prefer this reel over much more expensive ones.
May I ask where you bought your Scorpion DC or where I can but one? Thx. Edgar
digitaka, japan tackle ,
This better than the scorpion mgl?
17 Scorpion with 20lb braid set on 1? Backlashes like once a month and only when i try to skip things into drains and stuff. Cant wait to get this in the next year
yep, the Scorpion DC couldnt be fazed either
That thing is just so awesome I can’t wait to keep scooping them up on eBay since the newer one came out but I prefer the older shape and look
Where to get?
Where do you order your reels? I don’t know what websites to trust for Japanese products.
watch this video here on how to buy JDM tackle ua-cam.com/video/yR3iW2dvai4/v-deo.html
Just ordered the 21 dc 150XG from Ebay coming from Japan.
hey, I'm thinking about ordering from ebay, japan as well. How long is the shipping?
@@jaysoncayetano2438 Took almost 2 weeks
@@MiCnasty1 Can this be use on deep crankbaits? I plan to order today.
@@jaysoncayetano2438 Yes it can
Make one more Scorpion DC video!!!🤣
My buddy just got the slx dc when he got his stimulus. He was mad when we went to the lake and my quantum vapor pt out casted his shimano with heavy and light lures. We threw weightless flukes and my quantum was casting twenty to thirty feet further. Not bad for a reel I got for a hundred bucks.
Quantum’s are crap.. your buddy didn’t know how to set up his reel I guess
@@fishinfrenzy2544 rods make the difference as well. My wife was casting the currado with a moderate action rod 3/8 oz 15lb fluro and I took the lews sp on a medium heavy fast,1/2oz jig and 30lb braid and I outcast her. So many factors.
I'm getting one
But the million dollar question is that “is it better than the previous scorpoin dc?” What are your thoughts
I mean it has the micro gears, bigger handle and knobs, but casting? I going to do that video this weekend hopefully
still waiting for centrifugal bfs braking... hihihii..
no pressure thou
Scorpion dc and slx dc go bfs please 🙏✅
Bass fishing Shimano Scorpion 2021
Can this reel(scorpion DC) be use in salt water inshore fishing?. Thanks.
This reel made in japan?
I’m thinking of buying between shimano scorpion dc , curado dc , slx dc , metanium mgl and daiwa zillion sv tw 2021, daiwa steez . Could anybody help me🥺?
What did you end up going with? I was also torn between the zillion sv tw and even the tw hd looks amazing.
👍
where did you buy this exact reel or did you get it sent to you?
he bought it on japanlureshop. In his unboxing video, it showed a gift. JLS always gifts when u order.
@@felixliao5801 ty
For me I think DC reels is good for night fishing. Save the trouble from backlash.
I had the same realization recently! Especially with braided line...!
the other thing i realized about night fishing is that I like colored rods that are not black
Does this have a clicking drag?
No
Easy upgrade tho...
@@michaelking2471 how can you do it???
IDC-5 has a ring magnet which allows the braking system to better control the spool. MGL spool allows the braking system to better control the spool. Combine the two, and it should be one of the best casting DC reels out there.
That's the difference between IDC-5 vs IDC-4, and why it has more options to pick from versus something like an Curado or SLX DC.
DC reels use electromagnets
@@THEREELTEST ... duh.
DC-4 magnets aren't a single magnet, they're individual magnets.
DC-5 magnets are a ring magnet. It's a single magnet around the entire spool.
@@twiggsherman3641 wow I didnt realize DC brakes were invented by someone name "Twigg"
@@twiggsherman3641 roasted
Thanks for this video, what are the specs of your rod?
6'8 medium
@@THEREELTEST thank you very much for your reply! What is the brand/model?
@@Akiweb92 - i think he said it was a 6’8” Shimano Bantam Medium!
I need your advice is the new 2021 shimano scorpion dc worth 325.00 us dollars
He gives the going PRICE RANGE towards the end of the video!! I believe you’ll find the ANSWER to your question in the video!!
I have scorpions DC's on 90% of my setups. If price is too much grab the previous model. Its a great reel and I like it more than any other reel own and some are considered higherend. Unless it's performance blows away the previous model I'll stick with previous. For now im just grabbing one to try. If I like I'll grab the 5 or 6 I need if not then previous model.
I mean its up to you if its worth that much. The performance is that of a $300 reel. but I paid around $280. Watch my "How to buy JDM Tackle" video and it shows you how to shop around for the best price
Where did you buy that from?
japan lure shop. Watch this video on how to buy JDM reels ua-cam.com/video/yR3iW2dvai4/v-deo.html
hope they come to Australia
They aren’t mate....I ordered it and got one shipped here with the first lot of shipments though. It’s easy enough done....
Only thing is no domestic warranty when ordered this way, but I service all my own reels so not a big problem if your that way inclined👍
(...I also pulled it apart and modified a few things as soon as I opened it, so warranty goes out the window anyway lol🤷♂️😅)
Cool mate thanks heaps for the reply.:)
Con máy mà tôi đang dùng wao
All I ever want to know is it better than curado dc?
much better
Yeah man. Curado DC is awesome reel but this new scorpion DC is next level! The new tune on the IDC5 is crazy good! 🤤
Please try braided line setup...and bfs setup...tq vm
2021 Scorpion DC or used Metanium 15 DC?
the Metanium is lighter, but performance wise, its not going to be that much better to warrant the big price increase.
@@THEREELTEST Ok,but used Metanium 15 DC = 2021 Scorpion DC in prise
Can you use it in saltwater
Shimano says yes
Anyone with this reel experiencing issues with the DC braking?
I purchased 2 of these and they were amazing when they were working. Then after a few hours of use, the DC system would stop working and instant backlash (no more DC whine). None of the settings would make a difference. After a while, it seems the DC system starts to glitch. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Reels were never dunked or soaked.
This happened for both of my brand new reels, 151XG models. Currently being warrantied by Shimano Japan.
Did you ever find out the cause of the issue or get it resolved?
Can you please disclose which website you ordered your two reels from?
I was planning to purchase one but your comment gave me reason to pause…
I had the same problem. I was backlashing like crazy my first couple of fishing trips. After 1 month of use it got better. I think since the reel is so new, it's still got top much grease/oil inside. Needs to "break-in". Now no problem at all. Hopes this helps any1 interested in DC reels
You can’t truly believe this reel is better than the Daiwa Zillion Sv Tw 1000?
I Absolutely believe that.
It absolutely is
