The Scorpion XT1000 is a 50-size reel that is the JDM counterpart to the USDM Chronarch 50E and Curado 50E.

 

The Scorpion 200HG is the JDM counterpart to the USDM Curado I.

Shipping was like $11. I ordered it Friday afternoon and just checked it today and it's in New York so I should get it by Thursday. I've ordered from Japan once before and it only took a few days so It's really not much longer if at all than ordering in the states.

Do you ever get hit with import fees?

I haven't in these two times I have ordered from Japan. I know others have. I don't think it happens very often tho.

Do you know how much they typically are if I did happen to get charged?

I really have no idea. Hopefully someone else who knows will see this and chime in.


fishing user avatara1712 reply : 

Reels being Shipped EMS it would be extremely rare to be charged anything. On a Rod it's a different story, that would be UPS, DHL, or Fedex and then a Duty is prob. around a 50-50 chance. Almost guaranteed with UPS, but on a $300 Rod it's about $25-$30. That's not bad considering you're prob saving $200-$300 by ordering over seas. Remember though, NO WARRANTY. Brian.


fishing user avatarDelcoSol reply : 

Its amazing how much cheaper and faster the shipping from Japan is than BPS. I ordered from another JDM site and got the reel in two days for $11 shipping with no customs fees either. Beware, the rare Japanese Bait Monkey is even deadlier than the American version.. 


fishing user avatarColdSVT reply : 

If i werent buying a hummunbird 899 this weekend id have four of scorpions coming!

Dammit lolll


fishing user avatarJeziHogg reply : 

Aaaaand the JDMonkey just convinced me to buy a Shimano Poison Ultima...


fishing user avatarrobster80 reply : 

are the scorpions the same reel as a curado only red?


fishing user avatarCYP reply : 

Ill be buying a Metanium on Friday


fishing user avatarfishballer06 reply : 

Hmm, $190 for the Brenious...

 

Whats the US equivalent of that reel? Is it a 50 size Chronarch with a shallow spool?

I believe that out of the box, the XT1000 is a better reel than a CU50E. According to Japan Tackle, XT stands for Xtra Tune. It is smoother, has better spool bearings and aluminum knob caps.

Once I sell my jeep and buy a new truck I will for sure get some of these.

I'm pretty sure its a cheaper version of the Aldebaran BFS.

Update: I ordered the Metanium Friday afternoon and I received it today! Sad that I can get a package faster from Japan than from somewhere in the US!

This is basically a fast gear ratio chronarch/curado 50 with a new spool. The spool is design for small braided line. The spool is semi shallow but it's very narrow to prevent line digging. It'll be a technique specific reel with limited line capacity for you mono users. It has brass gears thougH :)

With cheaper shipping. One piece rod from Japan, $34, cardboard box w/3 3700 Plano's in it 3 states away, $31. I don't buy rod or reels stateside anymore. I'd like to, but $285 from Japan or $695 stateside, what would you do? Brian.
