Very nice Shimano Hootie!  I like that billet handle!  

 

So, I'm curious now.... what's next?

Excesence DC.

That is one beautiful set up!

Hootie's got a hottie!

The JDM bait monkey is even more deadly than the domestic one... Karate and ninja tactics!

That all burgundy combo is sick. Nice work! Love a matching combo!

It looks to me like you just put a little extra Hoot in Hootie......Take a picture of it mounted on your SBR as it should look reel sweet and again congratulations.

Actually, I would like to "MAYBE", {yes I know I said that about the Scorpion}, get another Core 100MG

before they disappear.

 

Hootie

How do the neighbors cats like it?

 

Lol.... The neighbors cats have temporarily vanished. To cold, and to much snow in the backyard.

Wow this is what I'm talking about! Sorry I always get excited when a reel and rod matches in the looks department.

Very nice!

Whats the difference between the Curado and Scorpion other than the color and where there made?

Status.  You become part of another group (Enthusiast) when you buy/use JDM reels.  

Status, and two more bearings. That's about it as far as I can tell. Oh, and the manual is in Japanese. Can't read anything in it.

I have a question. This being not available for sale in the U.S., why are all the markings on the reel in English.

Hootie, I have thought about this myself many times and I can't come up with a good reason!

They are great people to buy from but it's shame that we have to wait till the holidays to get competitive prices.

The scorpion was my first purchase from them. I didn't realize these were holiday prices. I just assumed their prices were always like this.

They are usually one of the more expensive JDM vendors. My Scorpion and the handle were on sale so I saved a little bit and for that, I am happy.

Hootie... please don't waste this reel on a spinnerbait rod!  Find a perfect light jerkbait rod...

No, Maico just wanted to see a picture of it on that rod. Right now it's on a GLX 803c. I'll probably have it on a half dozen different rods before fishing season rolls around and I decide how I really want to use it.

Hootie

Dude....that's a sick combo. If it's too awesome for you, feel free to PM me..........I'll cover shipping.
