About this piece
The Shimano 21 Scorpion MD 300XGLH is a rugged low-profile baitcasting reel engineered for big bait tactics and brute-force battles with monster fish. Its oversized 43mm spool and ultra-fast 7.9:1 gear ratio deliver blistering line pickup and immediate control after splashdown, while the compact frame packs 20lb nylon capacity for 160 meters. A refined SVS braking system with 8 pins ensures long-cast capability and confident backlash control, even with bulky, high-air-resistance lures.
