Less than 10 min. after I told Jeff that my reel would arrive tomorrow, the doorbell rang,

and there it was. Oh Happy Day.

Here she is.

Hootie

Sweet Reel ! Oh, sweet rod as well!

Wow the reel looks sharp, first time notice they have red knob cap. As the yen keep dropping it's definitely worth the extra over the curado. Glad you received it safe cause I don't know what's going on with the custom my recent two packages from Japan has sit in Chicago custom for more than a week.

Nice!!

Congrats Hootie - enjoy !

Sick reel! You know they have matching scorpion rods right? Lol

Gl2 is the exact same color..

She is sweet! Congrats!

Jeff

It's too bad the GL2 is a sub par rod otherwise a Scorpion and GL2 setup would look killer!

Even the box color matches, congrats.

WOO-HOO!

 

 

 

 

 

What a charming couple they make.

Got a Scorpion 1000/GL2 Merlot that look just beautiful paired together.

 

Of course that was when the Scorpion 1000 was a few bucks above in price to the venerable Curado 100/200 B.

Congrats.

I approve this message.

Wow, that was quick. Looks great!

 

I'm sure it will perform even better. 

Sharp looking reel Hootie! Can't wait for a report on how it performs!

Nice combo hootie 

BEEUTIFUL setup Hootie. Let us know how it performs.

Nice looking reel. I'm curious to hear what you think. Especially compared to the Curado I

There used to be a time when the differences between both versions ( JDM & domestic ) were quite noticeable, nowdays the differences are insignificant, the looks may be different but perfoprmance is practically the same.

I have the loomis spinnerbait rod. It's burgundy colored.

Hootie

Very nice Shimano Hootie!  I like that billet handle!
