  1. Honestly, plastic baits end up being the most expensive at the end of the day. Pretty much $10 for Yama Senko's , and I can go through 2-3 packs a day. So at the end I'm left with no lures.

     

    Otherwise , buchertails or vision 110s Is where I draw the line, and even they hurt to buy...

  2. I like the color of the scorpion more than the curado and like having a reel others don't have.

    It's a mass produced reel, others do have it. It's not as common to see locally per se, but it's not exclusive/rare.

    But if you like the colour and enjoy knowing where it was sourced from , it's a no brainer. Price after all said and done isn't bad

     

    Buy it !

  3. Absolute pain. Shipping prices in Canada vs USA is obscene. I think I used to ship UPS , but it's been a while.

    A strong schedule 40 abs is durable as hell , but costs more (a lot more). Lol forklifts are heavy, have short wheel bases, and weight displacement/transfer is different then an automobile that is equiped with shocks and tires! lol so I can't say it will withstand that, but you can definitely drive a sedan over it!

    As stated by spiel and others-pack the but and tip with bubble wrap , and in a few other places throughout the length of the rod. You want it to have no movement up or down/side to side , aside from what the bubble wrap affords, BUDD.

  4. It depends on what you are buying, and if it's exclusive to Japan.

    There's been a ton of overlap lately , and many reels are now available here.

    Depending on reel model, it might not make sense due to warranty and price. There are several sites online that will guide you in the right direction on pretty much any reel, including the scorpion you're asking about. In your case, I'd say buy a curado 70 on sale locally, unless you want the colour difference.

    Thankfully, many usdm and JDM reels share similar parts , especially mechanically.

    Good luck !

  5. Man I'll take the before picture and $4000

     

    What is unexplainable is the screws through the hull. Even the crappy cuts, how much harder is it to take a little extra to complete the cuts properly ?

    I mean the boat was junk before, but come on. Take the extra day towards the quality , and charge him $200 more . How you could let that leave your shop like that is beyond me. The screws through the front really give me no sympathy to trimmed out.

  6. I will agree that it has its place as a multi species lure, however most times it gets wacked by bass due to timing imo. Other than a jigging spoon, I would steer clear of spoons in most lakes for bass as there are far more productive baits . That's an opinion though...
