SHIMANO - 2024 - SCORPION MD MONSTER DRIVE - 300 / 301 - BAITCASTING REELS - JDM

Serious ultrastrong with an even more high rigidity body

SCORPION MD that has faced numerous big fish from black bass to bluefish and monster fish, has evolved to be even stronger and easier to handle. NEW SCORPION MD 300 adopts CORESOLID BODY for the first time in #300 size. The highly rigid body, with less deflection than conventional ones, enhances the transmission power of the winding power and provides a significant advantage in head-to-head competition with large fish. The new mechanism, SVS INFINITY MD TUNE, is adopted for the brake system. As well as stepless adjustment by an external dial, the eight brake shoes ensure high braking force, which increases the ability to respond to giant baits with high air resistance and sudden changes in wind direction. Following basic functions such as MICROMODULE and X-SHIP, forged with high line capacity and high drag force, this model is the genuine freestyle specification. A serious ultrastrong model to challenge even larger fish.

KEY FEATURES

The first Shimano bait #300 size to feature a high-rigidity core solid body.

What we wanted was an excellent body rigidity that would give us an advantage in head-on battles with not only black bass, but also large sea creatures and monster fish from around the world. To further enhance the advantages of the low-profile Scorpion MD, which allows for a strong grip, we adopted a one-piece core solid body, the first for a Shimano bait reel #300 body. The high-rigidity body reduces bending and distortion more than ever before, further increasing the sense of security and transmitting the reeling power input by the angler without any loss. Its true value is demonstrated in power games with large fish where even the slightest gap is not allowed.

The new SVS∞ (Infinity) MD TUNE mechanism is also compatible with giant baits.

The SVS∞ (Infinity) MD TUNE is an even stronger version of the SVS∞ (Infinity), which provides a smooth rise and extension and allows for stepless adjustment using an external dial. The brake shoes have been increased to eight to increase braking power and support high line capacity spools. The reel's adaptability to giant baits with high air resistance and sudden changes in wind direction has also been improved, allowing it to be adjusted to a wider range of situations.

X-SHIP and micro module gear enable smooth and stable winding.

In freestyle games, where a power fight with a large fish is expected, high-level winding performance that does not waver even under high load is required. The drive system of the Scorpion MD300 uses two technologies: micro module gears and X-SHIP. By increasing the number of teeth that mesh, the micro module gear, which demonstrates further strength, suppresses vibrations caused by gear meshing, achieving smooth and silky winding. X-SHIP firmly supports the gear system by enlarging the diameter of the drive gear, optimally arranging both the pinion and drive gears, and supporting the bearing at two points by the pinion gear. The stable winding power brought about by the fusion of technologies strongly supports the angler's challenge.

High line capacity and high drag power to support your endless challenges.

The Scorpion MD300 uses a large 43mm spool with a line capacity of 25lb x 135m. Combined with a gear ratio of 7.6, the maximum winding length per handle rotation is 103cm. The high line capacity allows the line diameter to remain even after a long cast, so you can maintain the winding speed and perform quick operations immediately after landing on the water. The line tension does not loosen easily, promoting smooth penetration even with thick-axis hooks mounted on giant baits. The maximum drag force is designed to be 8kg in anticipation of fighting large fish. It allows the angler to take the lead in the game without giving up the initiative to the opponent.
