Fishing Reels Manufacturer: Shimano
Shimano Model: Scorpion 1500/1501
Review Category: Fishing Reels
Purchase: Fishing Reels I was looking for a mid-range reel along the lines of a Curado when I came across the Scorpions on eBay. I purchased my Scorpion 1501 from japantackle.com but through eBay for $135 + $15 shipping.
Things I like about the Shimano Scorpion 1500/1501 Fishing Reels: The ergonomics of this reel are the same as that of the american version, the Curado. The super free whiffle spool is the best feature. It spins for an eternity.
What I don't like about the Shimano Scorpion 1500/1501: The handle is still small (same with the Scorpion 1000/1001) and it has the same plastic feel as the Scorpion 100/1001 as well.

Scorpion 1500/1501 summary: For the price, this reel was a good deal. I'm uncertain as to whether you can still purchase these reels new. The 1000/1001 is available new, but the 1500/1501's I've only seen offered as used.
Hard to match at the price point.
