Curado/Scorpion

I am told by a Shimano rep that the Scorpion series reels are not made to
withstand American style Fishing as the gears are sub what Curado gears are.
I thought that the gears in the Scorpion where superior to the curado's??
Has anyone heard the different or is this true and the sales rep wasn't BS

I dunno about the gear question. But I am curious as to exactly what
"American style Fishing" is considered to be, as opposed to fishing
somewhere else.

I was told by the Rep that the Japanese did more finesse fishing and not
with heavy line,hence the gears would not hold up. ??

That's entirely a possibility. I do know that I have a number of Curados
and Chronarch SuperFrees that have held up admirably. I use them for both
bass fishing and throwing some fairly large lures for muskies, putting them
through more than I'm sure Shimano had intended them for.

So me? I figure if it isn't broke, don't fix it. One of the nice things
about Curados and Chronarchs is that they are supported in the U.S., so if
you do need service, it can be done locally.

I agree I havent had a bit of trouble with my curado's either but I got a
Scorpion for Xmas and was wondering if they would hold up.

I got two scorpions Chris, and they are every bit abused as my curado, if
not more so. If I had the choice to fish one or the other, I'd pick up the
scorpion every time

I just sent 3 of them along with my other Curados to Don for cleaning and
bearing replacements. My Scorpions are used as much as the Curados also.
