Bronze, Thanks again. I decided to take my older Castaic off the market. I dont do enough flipping to justify spending a bunch of extra money to upgrade to the Scorpion Quickfire, especially with with my wife being 5 months pregnant. These 2 Castaics will do their job fine! Thanks again! take care, Jay

Bronze, Thanks for the input. Actually, the Scorpion 1000Mg has a smaller handle than the Chronarch 50Mg. I know because i just had to buy a 50Mg handle to replace the tiny little one on the Scorp. The E7 might be another way to go...to be honest,i rarely flip and already have a Castaic 200SF so not sure why i really need another (Plus am currently selling an older 200!). i think its the Scorpion name...im a sucker for JDM reels! jay

hey guys, I have an opportunity to buy a NIB Scorpion Quickfire (newer maroon version). i have a few concerns...first off, the one negative Ive seen with these JDM reels is the lack of drag. Does anyone know the drag power of the Quickfire? I'm assuming it's got to be better than the Scorpion 1000Mg because, after all, it's a flipping reel. Secondly, i believe this reel comes with an 42mm handle with larger power knobs. Does anyone know what size the JDM handle is on a Scorpion 1000Mg because if its the same size, it's gonna be WAY too small for my liking. Lastly, is $140 shipped a decent price for this reel NIB? Thanks!!! Any other info is appreciated as well! Jay
