Description
The Scorpion DC is designed for a wide range of fishing styles, featuring a low-inertia MGL spool that offers smooth startup and efficient casting. The deeper spool provides ample line capacity, giving flexibility to adjust for different target species and techniques. Equipped with Micromodule Gear, it delivers a refined cranking feel with reduced gear noise. The I-DC5 brake system allows fine-tuned adjustments to braking force to match various lure weights and conditions. With three available gear ratios — from standard to extra-high — this reel is suitable for techniques ranging from bass fishing to certain inshore applications.
