How many people cast with their right and reel with their left?

[@eagleclaw1179]

Me but switched to left retrieval, I left retrieval with spinning so it made sense nvr going back

I casn with my right and reel with my left. Im left-handed.

[@richiekamtan9209]

Me lol. Makes it easier i feel. Don’t have to keep switching hands to make a cast and engage the reel. Much more convenient if you ask me and efficient…

[@aubreycollins3455]

I do. Both casting and spin gear

[@hoodiegriffo]

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.

If I use PE(#1) and leader is FC(#5) cable, which Line mode is recommended ? bty What kind of cable you use ?

[@en8718]

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!!

[@THEREELTEST]

thats the piece of equipment I was waiting for in the mail.

[@zorvakpower8533]

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.

Mine just came in the mail today - so perfect timing for your video! Question... I'm not able to get the side plate off - was there a "trick" to it? I don't want to force it, but when I move the switch out of the "closed" mode, it just won't come off. Thanks for the great reviews!!

[@THEREELTEST]

so you are switching the dial to "open" and then pushing the latch? You kind of have to use a finger nail in the gap in between the frame and side plate and pry it apart

What is the gear ratio of that reel?

[@jedifredjacob]

With the Currado and de Slv Dc we have 4 ajustement (1-2-3-4) With the Scorpions DC we have 5 (1-2-3-4-W ) What is W and when we us

[@BenFairbank]

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. I was casting a 1/2 oz jig into a 15mph headwind with no issues on 3 with my 17 scorpion yesterday. I probably wouldn’t try that with a non DC reel

[@THEREELTEST]

I think they just labeled it that for marketing purposes, but yeah, nothing is touching a DC reel into the wind

[@clintfulbright1596]

I hear some extra braking happening on Wind mode right at the start of the cast.(compared to 4)

[@davidzimmerman4156]

[@exodusfivesixfivesix8050]

I thought about getting one of these, but I liked the black more from the 2017. Question though.. is it supposed to have alot of play in the crank?

[@THEREELTEST]

its a new reel so the tolerances are still tight.

[@ScroDiddly]

I've used bait casters for decades and refused to use a DC reel. BUT I got a SLX DC and am in love with it. I know how to use a regular bait caster quite well so I don't care about using a DC and don't consider it 'cheating' anymore!

[@THEREELTEST]

Brother, I would consider the SLX DC(both USDM and JDM) to be about 80% of a DC reel lol

[@ScroDiddly]

Yeah man, I feel ya. It's my intro to the game! Upgrades coming soooon!

[@caseydangar1193]

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.

[@mynameisnotcory]

In terms of how much i use my slx dc to my scorpion dc, its more like 20% lol

[@THEREELTEST]

[@slyfox720]

I am really super impressed with shimano...I was a daiwa dude and dont get me wrong I loved my tatulas but I had to really put a lot effort into casting small lures like the rapala orginal floater in the F7size(1/8th of ounce)...with my bantam I dont have to put that much effort into casting the same distance.

[@jaysoncayetano2438]

[@vernervanschalkwyk2280]

[@atamagashock]

Maybe I’m crazy, but it looked like you were casting 10 yards further than you were calling it. Either way it looks like an amazing reel, especially for the money. I ordered mine a few days ago. Should be here in the next week or two

[@Nhan-ez2dd]

it's call FOV, what you see from the camera may have some different from reality depend on camera focal length

[@rikisaputrasamsujir1296]

actually, u can use no 1 brake but u need to tune the tension knob a little bit. 0 side to side play tension knob tune is superb for bfs setup but a no for medium to heavy setup. I can cast a 1/2oz lure reach 55 yards on 8-16lb 7' rod and 10lb 4x line. 0 brake and tension knob tune only(china reel). same tune on curado dc. 1.1oz lure reach 90 yards on 12-25 6'8 rod and 30lb 4x line and tension knob tune only. I'm just sharing my tune ✌😉. DC brake is a beast for a long cast😍

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.
