Description of "Shimano 2025 Scorpion MD 300XG RIGHT"
Weight: 325g Winding Length: 103cm/per handle rotation Gear ratio: 7.6 Line Capacity Nylon: 16lb-210m, 20lb-160m, 25lb-135m Line Capacity PE: #4-180m, #5-140m, #6-120m Bearing: 7/1 Maximum drag force: Max8kg Spool diameter/width: 43mm/22mm Handle length: 45mm Scorpion MD is a serious ultra-strong reel with a highly rigid body. The Scorpion MD, which has faced many monster fish from freshwater black bass to saltwater yellowtail fish, has evolved to be even stronger and easier to handle. The new Scorpion MD300 uses a core solid body for the first time in the 300 size. The highly rigid body that suppresses bending more than before increases the transmission of winding power, giving you a big advantage when going head-to-head with monster fish. The brake system uses a new mechanism, SVS Infinity MD Tune. In addition to stepless adjustment using the external dial, high braking force is ensured by the 8 brake shoes, and the ability to respond to giant baits with high air resistance and sudden changes in wind direction has also been improved. A genuine freestyle specification that follows basic functions such as micro module gear and X-Ship, and has been trained with high line capacity and high drag power. This is a serious ultra strong model reel for challenging even more monster fish.
Technology Features of Shimano 2025 Scorpion MD 300XG RIGHT
HAGANE
“HAGANE” is more than just a material name; it’s a design philosophy centered around creating reels that offer unmatched longevity and smoothness. The term "HAGANE" itself, which means "steel" in Japanese, symbolizes strength and resilience. However, in Shimano's context, it transcends traditional interpretations, representing a suite of advanced technologies aimed at enhancing performance and durability. In other words, when they say "HAGANE", they do not actually mean that HAGANE(= steel) is used. “HAGANE” promises robustness that can be used with peace of mind even in the harshest of conditions, an unchanging, exquisite winding feel, and winding power that exceeds the imagination."HAGANE Gear" or "HAGANE Body" is Shimano's engineering concept and philosophy.
MICRO MODULE GEAR 2
The gear teeth surfaces in the MICRO MODULE GEAR 2 are finer and mesh more closely together than traditional gears, resulting in minimal power loss and a smooth, powerful winding experience. Additionally, the increased number of meshing teeth provides greater strength compared to conventional gears. This unique Shimano gear system achieves a balance of smoothness and durability.
X-SHIP
X-SHIP features an enlarged drive gear, optimal positioning of the pinion and drive gears, and two-point support for the pinion gear with bearings. This robust gear engagement maintains smooth and efficient reeling even under heavy loads.
X-PROTECT
X-PROTECT provides robust protection against water ingress into the reel by combining a labyrinth-structured waterproof wall with special water-repellent grease. In small to medium-sized spinning reels, which require lighter rotation, a non-contact structure is emphasized to maintain rotational lightness. This high waterproof performance is achieved by combining traditional water-repellent treatments with a labyrinth structure that prevents water penetration without direct contact. This technology is applied to areas such as the stopper bearing and line roller.
For larger spinning reels that require higher waterproof performance, a contact-type waterproof structure is used. Low-friction seal materials physically block seawater entry paths, achieving high waterproof performance while minimizing rotational resistance. This contact-type waterproofing is applied to the stopper bearing and line roller, with the stopper bearing achieving an IPX8 waterproof rating.
CORESOLID BODY
This body structure integrates the level wind protector and side plate, typically separate from the frame, into a single metal piece. This design provides high rigidity, a compact size for better palming, and resistance to deformation under heavy loads. The CORESOLID BODY ensures stable retrieval and reliability during powerful fights with big fish.
S3D SPOOL
The S3D SPOOL features an entirely redesigned cutting method, significantly enhancing the spool's precision. As a result, this design improves the smoothness and reduces vibrations during casting, leading to a quieter and more stable performance.
SUPER FREE SPOOL
SUPER FREE SPOOL is a system where the spool shaft is supported by only two bearings when the reel's clutch is disengaged. This design minimizes spool wobble and eliminates rotational resistance, allowing for exceptionally smooth and light spool free performance.
SA-RB
A-RB bearings feature a special anti-corrosion treatment that significantly improves their rust resistance. The SA-RB takes this further by sealing the sides with anti-corrosion materials, greatly reducing salt crystallization and salt damage inside the bearing.
SVS MD TUNE
SVS MD TUNE combines an SVS centrifugal brake, which supports longer casts, with an external dial-controlled magnetic brake that helps prevent backlash. This dual-brake system offers exceptional long-casting performance while minimizing line trouble. The external dial makes it easy to adjust brake strength according to changing conditions, and the design also allows for smooth line release by synchronizing spool rotation with level wind movement, making it ideal for demanding freestyle fishing.
