Shimano ScorpionXT 1000 JDM

Looks like the guys at Shimano Japan have done it again! Last year they released the Aldebaran, which is lighter than the Steez, and also Shimano USA released it too which made me happy (and poor).

This year however, they released that same reel, but with an aluminum body! It will make it a bit heavier but the upside is that it can take brackish water a lot better than the Magnesium counterpart. It also comes in a 6:4:1 ratio which is what I prefer in my reels (the Core 50Mg came only in 7:1).

Behold this stunning beauty~! I can't wait to get my hands on it.
