I'm ready to get two more, having used them for over the past year or so, I
am very pleased with the performance. Never let me down once, great casting
smooth flipping and pitching reel. Can find them on e-bay for a decent price
also

I sent about 7-8 reels into Don Heck for cleaning and bearing replacement.
I
think there's 3 Scorpions in the bunch, so I can't wait to see how all of
my
reels will be with the new bearing. I too do a lot of pitching, since
Charles and Dave taught me how, and the smoothness really comes into play
while doing so.

Harry,

I wanted to get your opinion on those Shimano Scorpion reels. I
remember
from the NWC you mentioning that you liked them, and wanted to get your
insight after a few more months of using it. I was looking for a good
free spinning reel for flipping and pitching.

Thanks man,

Chris
I have a Scorpion that Harry got from Bill's for a prize at the MTC two
years ago. It is on Dave's MTC rod. The Scorpion is a great pitching
reel, very smooth and light. It is as good as the Calcutta's I have
that I also use for pitching. Those are the only two reels that I use
for that.
