I got one back in 2018 when I finished up with chemo. I’ve only used it about 5-10 times since starting my small business back in 2020. It’s now collecting dust from sitting in storage for the last couple of years. I can’t find the time to get back out on the water😒
I was throwing a 3/16 oz weight and I haven’t really tried it with low weights but I’ll have an update video soon! Sorry for the late reply and thanks for watching 🎣
Nice bro it’s a great reel! I haven’t had a chance to use a metanium DC but I might pick one up in the future. I’m not sure if it’s worth the upgrade but for the price you can get 2 of these 🤔. I am very curious on how much smoother and ergonomic the metanium dc is, whenever I get to use one I’ll let you know man 🎣
all the scorpions 21 are made in Malaysia. just cuz its a JDM reel doesn't mean it made in japan, just made and designed for the JDM market. shimano usually saves their best version or reels for their own market/ (you usually have to hit the $400 mark before reels are made in japan. but this doesn't bother me. because they are still designed and shimano Quality control, still a shimano factory, still shimano parts. this reel is basically the same a the Curado, dc but its has better spool, better drag washers, 1 extra bearing, IDC5 brakes instead of IDC4. and you can get it to your door cheaper then the curado dc here. also digitaka or japan lure shop also i have 2 of these reels.
@@longpointfishmaster thank you for this, I've been looking at the scorpion for a while now and I've been getting mixed responses. It seems like people just want it from Japan because it's from Japan lol. But like you said, still shimano parts which is what really matters. I have a curado and its ok but its not a DC I hear the scorpion dc is better than the curado dc so imma get the dc version of that.
Sorry for the late reply man been busy with work and sometimes don’t get notifications until I manually check, the 21 scorpion are made in Malaysia. I bought mine through asian portal. I would definitely recommend the scorpion dc over the curado dc. I’m my opinion it’s just a way smoother and crispier reel. The curado dc does cast a little farther though. Ive had 3 curado dc’s and got rid of 2 of them because they do get a little noisy after a while and I had one completely fail on me and break. Hope this helps.
@@CertifiedHooksets no worries at all man! Thank you for your insight, I def want the scorpion, I mainly got the curado for fishing near the pier and some saltwater action. BTW what are your thoughts on the 17 scorpion? I've heard that it's pretty much the same thing, just has like 10 yards less than the 21. I'm tryna make an all black combo with red mono and dub it the Vader rod lol
@@CertifiedHooksets as for curado dc casting farther, your talking an average of like 10 ft when bombing it out 200ft most of the test could be just broken in curado vs scorpion. at least any of the casting video comparisons
I have the 2017 scorpion and I just ordered the 2021 model. Waiting for it now I can't wait.
That’s awesome man! Your going to love it, lmk what you think of it once you get it 🎣
Thumbs 🆙 brother. Enjoyed looking at that beautiful reel.
Thanks bro, I really appreciate it! We still need to get together whenever we’re both available for a collab 🎣👌🔥
@@CertifiedHooksets We definitely do need to collaborate.
Have you seen the new dc they came out for this year from Japan the SLX DC XT
Yeah man I’ve seen a couple videos on it, looks pretty good and I believe it also has the IDC 5 system
@@CertifiedHooksets yes it does
No, it doesn’t. SLX DC XT uses the IDC4 system.
@@psilocypher ?.. in the Shimano website that the SLX DC XT uses the I-DC 5
@@fishermankev Yeah, you’re right. My apologies. ChatGPT misinformed me.
Thank you so much I am going to get that same combo thanks keep doing great things
Awesome man! It’s been great and I’ve been using it a lot! Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do and thanks for the support! 🎣😀

That’s unfortunate to hear man! I hope all is good and hope you get the chance to get back out there! 🎣
Good information
Thanks bro!
Big thumbs up my friend 👍
Thank bro I really appreciate it! 🎣😀
That is a beautiful lake, where is this lake located?
It really is! Bakersfield, Ca.
I just bought one of these off of Amazon and got overnight delivery.
What weight was you throwing can it throw low
I was throwing a 3/16 oz weight and I haven’t really tried it with low weights but I’ll have an update video soon! Sorry for the late reply and thanks for watching 🎣
i throw down to 1/4 oz on the regular, the new slx dc xt might be a bit better if your looking for lighter then 1/4 as its more geared as a BFS reel
Sweet looking combo
Thanks man! It’s been awesome so far 🎣 thanks for watching
I got this same reel, love it. Now I wonder if that Metanium DC is any smaller and compact. Worth the upgrade?

If you can’t find the scorpion dc21 I also recommend the scorpion dc17!
