Well today was a special day for me…. My Christmas present to myself from myself arrived. Now I know this is now considered an “older” reel it’s going on 6 years old now, but I managed to buy myself a new unused Scorpion mgl 150. I know it’s not the fanciest reel or this or that…… But it is a reel I’ve wanted for quite some time and now I have it so I’m very happy about this and now I’m sharing this will everyone here…… What I want to know from everyone else here is….. Did you get anything exciting or that you wanted for Christmas fishing wise big or small…… Please share if you did. Thanks 

When I was younger I always read about the scorpion and dreamed about getting one. I never did buy one. I hope it lives up to the expectations for you! Also crazy you found a NIB. That color is awesome. 

 

I am waiting on my reel to be off of back order. A Shimano Twin Power 2500. 

@Mojo Bass:  I just rambled on in another topic about an experience I had that gave me the same feeling of satisfaction from acquiring a couple of inexpensive rods. Great feeling, isn’t it?

Beautiful reel.  Congratulations.  I only got baits for Christmas this year.  Splurged and bought a few Megabass Vision 110s and 110 +1 Jrs, a few plastics, and X9 braid in 3 different sizes.  I did purchase 2 new reels earlier this year.  The Salamandura is close to that color as is my old Scorpion 1001 4x4 SVS.  I prefer red over silver any day of the week and twice on Sundays. 

 

Mostly I upgraded my DSLR camera body and kit lenses.

I have two. You’ll love it.  Now my cataract surgeries are done I bought myself regular polarized sunglasses. One pair for driving and a pair for fishing.  👍👍

It is a great feeling. I’m glad people can relate 

Yes. I actually got my Christmas, early in November. A Shimano Calcutta Conquest MD 300 XGLH and a MB Orochi XX Leviathan. 

That Scorpion looks pretty fancy to me.

The only fishing equipment I got was 4 packs of worms from my grandson.  We did get a 2010 Madza CX9 from our son when they bought a new one.

You gotta seal that cork. Look at the before/after pics of my Orochi’s I used Birchwood Casey Tru-oil on mine…

Arguably the best baitcaster ever produced.  My buddy is a steelhead guide and begged me to sell him mine ten years ago. He still fishes them.

Super tuned Bantam “greenies” are all I use. Actually the Wife got me a Lews BB1 Pro for Christmas and returned it as it was very sticky, noisy and the spool had a bad wobble.
Hence the reason for the “new” Curado cu201 purchase.

Installed my present from the wife.  Trick Step for the trailer.    I guess she really doesn’t want to cash in the insurance check.😉😂
