About 2012 Exsence DC brakes: Min-Max: Standard brake for PE. F (Fluoro): Apply stronger brake at the first cast. BB (Big Bait): Apply Stronger brake all the way of the cast. SP: Apply stronger brake at the end of the cast.
I was really torn between getting this reel or the scorpion xt 1501-7 and I decided to get the old scorpion, you’re really making me rethink my decision:)
Pull the trigger and pick one up. Don’t go for the cheapest you find on eBay either. Take your time and find that is really good cosmetically you’ll be happier with your purchase. That’s the story why I have two. Don’t shy away from auctions with option of best offer, usually $30-35 less than asking gets it done(cost of shipping + $10 savings)
@@THEREELTEST Nice test on this Older but sweet DC Reel! 👍🏻.....Just one ? for you on this 12 Exsence do you know for sure if this has a, (Aluminum Handle Side - Sideplate) too?.....As I looked up some of the specs from an older but still available listing on Japan Tackle for this exact reel and although it's listed as having a (Saltwater Tough) Aluminum Frame it doesn't mention anything about the (Handle Sideplate) being aluminum as well too so I was just curious if you knew for sure on that from personally having this reel?....As would like to pick up one of these used for Light Inshore use but just want to make sure it has the strength to handle it that's all....Thx, JD
The curado is fantastic. I have both. Love both. Scorpion might be a better caster but the curado with brass gear is so smooth and strong. Plus you get American warranty if anything happens to it. Counts for a lot when you spend this much on a reel. Don't sweat it man you picked a great reel.
Exsence dc or scorpion dc better? Is one better for fresh or salt? I have a scorpion dc and it’s great. I use it both fresh and saltwater. I’m considering getting another until seeing this. Looks like it would be a good addition to my saltwater line up.
Good video man, can’t wait to see the casting distance test of the new Antares. I’m curious how it compares to the other long casting reels. I just got my 6.2 ratio one and I love it!
The grooves arent for when filling it w/line...Theyre for knowing how much line is on the spool when its emptying/paying out line - aka fighting a long running fish.
"Grooves on the spool to show you when you've FILLED it to a 1/3 of the way or half way."... that's what you said. Anybody says they're filling a reel up with line it means you're putting line on it
I love your vids, tell me with the DC scorpion while I have and blow ups or backlashes if I do have cast just as you did with this reel? I know this reel isn't for a newbie as myself.. but some will go get it anyway lol but I'm not that guy 🤣

Scorpion 1500 was a good reel but this Exsence is special

Nice reel and i personally think the sp should come automatic on Every reel.I love throwing a jitter bug at night.
yeah i dont know why they removed that setting
i used to own the '17 version and can say its just an antares clone for saltwater but it is amazing!
because you use monofilament line and do not use multifilament line, grateful Antonio
I got my Shimano Aldebaran 50 MGL,It’s Awesome
I got the curado dc and debating if I should of got the scorpion dc.
Nickyb 123 get a scorpion too
Scorpion DC is better in my opinion. the brakes are better but everything else is close
The curado is fantastic. I have both. Love both. Scorpion might be a better caster but the curado with brass gear is so smooth and strong. Plus you get American warranty if anything happens to it. Counts for a lot when you spend this much on a reel. Don't sweat it man you picked a great reel.
thanks for the information n review, i just have one of the secon hand from Japan,, Nice to know this reel was so smoot for Froggy.
Great vids mate. Does the excense DC in this video have the clicking drag? Many thanks

Hopefully ill be filming the last portion this weekend!
What's the longest casting reel that's affordable
Great vids mate. Does this have a clicking drag sound??
Quero ver a Scorpion MGL !! Quase comprei uma , mas meu contato do japão disse que não conseguiu.

Hi,
Are u going to do a review on the shimano 200 tranx anytime soon?
Theres always a chance. Im going to fish my swimbait setup soon and if the BB1 pro is inadequate then Ill look for a better reel.
@@THEREELTEST sweet. I'll be waiting for that video
What do you think of the core 100mg7? Would really like to know your opinion
What Japanese sites you talking bout . Would love to know any brotha. Thanks g
Great review! Thanks
2012 EXSENCE DC cast
further then curado dc?
when are you gonna review exsence dc 2017 mate?
Great video
Are you gonna be doing a spinning reel vs bfs reel sometime? I think that would be very interesting
Or Fly reel vs Spinning reel
yes but probably wait till the end of the year
Spinning reel will win for light stuff.
SP mode is mean SUPER rather !
Could you do an Exsence DC 17 model?
I love my Scorpion Dc
Any luck getting any quantum reels?
I havent recontacted them yet but I really want to try out the new Accurist S3s
Upload just in time
y cant i find this reel at 200 buks on ebay?
So does it have a clicking drag?
nope, i thought it did
It’s supposed to have Clicking drag!
Manda uma dessas pro brasil, aqui é muito cara kk
Do you own all/ most/ some of the reels you test?
most, a few were sent to me and a few were subscriber reels?
@@THEREELTEST Oh ya? Nice. Which reels do you use off camera? Any favourites? Are you a brand specific guy?
I have that reel too
Would you recommend the curado k
its the best reel in its class
Thanks
what is bullet cast and line drive cast??
thats is new thing for me
where the cast goes straight instead of a curving arc so it hits the water alot sooner.
i see... thanks
I should send u my 17 exsense to review haha.
2012 EXSENCE DC or 7 Scorpion DC 100?
2017 Scorpion DC!
Well shit...if I just would've knew that this one existed before I boughtmy curado dc. Ah well, it's not a bad reel!
Ill go over the differences between the 2 in the next video
After looking hard for some good baitcast reels n their backlashes i can c 100% not for me , spinning reels r the ones only.
Hello the reel test the best light reel and rod people are saying come and have a talk I love bait casters I need to know the best finesse bait caster fishing reel and rod plesase got back to me as soon as toy can
codfishing180 the Shimano Curado 70 and the Shimano Aldebaran are really nice reels and they are more than able to fish light finesse baits.
newer excense has the clicker
12 exsence has it too just not as loud
Where do you get it
Scott Elliott eBay, can try some Japanese websites see if they still have in stock but doubt it. Good luck
Robert is there anywhere we can hear the sound of the drag?
Why the curado dc is better: you can get one.
My Daiwa laguna destroys with a 1/4 square bill lol
daiwa is ass
Great vids mate. Does the excense DC in this video have the clicking drag? Many thanks
Yes,it has
