That’s how you’re supposed to cast. Shimano makes its spool release fit the thumb easier by angling towards the casting hand with the reel on the opposite side.

just got mine last week and tried it out last weekend... one good thing about the Scorpion DC or for that matter any DC reel.... the backlash IF it happens (regardless 1-4 levels ) is almost always VERY easy to clear vs a conventional baitcaster ...or is it in my mind. Whats your experience with this ? I'd advise getting a cheap clip-on line counter to measure and call out the distances a little more accurately rather than you calling the different variations of "oh... thats abouttt sayy 30/40+ yards " Love your channel!!

on a japan channel the guy just counts the number of cranks as he reels in, after measuring the amount per crank before hand. This works very good as it can give instant feed back while you are fishing. 22 cranks this cast 25 this cast, and he can multiply it out if specific distance is needed.

The reel test guy is 100% correct. I have the curado dc and slx dc and they are amazing, especially for the price. But if you love the benefits of the dc brakes on an slx dc, you would go crazy over the brakes on a scorpion or metanium dc. The idc5 system is superior for sure and in a noticeable way. The reel test is about spot on with the 80% number. But again, I do love my curado and slx dc reels as well.

I think it’s funny that there’s a “wind mode” I always considered casting into the wind one of the major benefits of the DC system in general and the the adjustments were just for lure weight.

IDC-5 has a ring magnet which allows the braking system to better control the spool. MGL spool allows the braking system to better control the spool. Combine the two, and it should be one of the best casting DC reels out there. That's the difference between IDC-5 vs IDC-4, and why it has more options to pick from versus something like an Curado or SLX DC.
