Why the Okuma Scorpio is a Top Choice for Spinning
🎯 Smooth Casting & Retrieval
The Scorpio’s precision gearing and balanced rotor ensure a wobble-free retrieve, which is essential for keeping lures working naturally and enticing more strikes.
💪 Strong & Reliable Drag
An ~8kg front drag system gives you stopping power for hard-fighting predators without risking line breaks.
⚡ Lightweight Feel, Heavy-Duty Build
A graphite body and rotor reduce weight, while the aluminium spool and handle add strength where it’s needed most.
🔄 Versatile for Freshwater & Light Saltwater Use
While it’s perfect for perch, trout, and pike in rivers and lakes, the corrosion-resistant components also make it suitable for light saltwater spinning for species like bass and mackerel.
Where It Excels
-
Perch & Chub Fishing – Small lures, spinners, and jigs.
-
Pike & Zander – Medium crankbaits and soft plastics.
-
Trout Spinning – Lightweight setups for rivers and reservoirs.
-
Light Saltwater Spinning – Bass, mackerel, and garfish.

Strong drag, higher price

The Scorpio stands out by combining strength, style, and value. It has a drag that rivals higher-end reels, a tough aluminium spool, and a modern design – all at a price that’s very competitive compared to Shimano and Daiwa alternatives.
