Metanium – The Premium Lightweight Baitcasting Reel
The Metanium is a stunning baitcasting reel that sits towards the top of the Shimano range and makes full use of a magnesium Core Solid frame to reduce weight and increase rigidity. It also features the advanced MGL Spool for improved casting performance.
Lightweight Strength and Precision
If you are an angler who values low weight, the unique feel that only magnesium-bodied reels can offer, or superior casting performance across all lure weights, then the new Metanium is well worth the price. Despite its lightweight design, the Core Solid frame feels exceptionally strong and stable, giving you the confidence that this reel can handle any fishing challenge.
Advanced Casting Technology
The MGL III Spool and SVS Infinity braking system excel when using medium and lightweight lures, where the reduced force required to start the spool spinning enhances casting smoothness and accuracy. This allows for effortless, precise, and consistent casts every time.
Premium Engineering and Performance
The Metanium is undoubtedly a high-end reel that takes full advantage of Shimano’s latest technology and lightweight metal construction. Inside, the premium Micromodule drive gear and X-SHIP system work together to deliver ultra-smooth yet powerful cranking under pressure. The advanced MGL III spool requires only a minimal force to begin turning, making it ideal for a wide range of lure weights and line types.
Versatile and Reliable
Whether you’re finesse fishing with light lures or casting something larger across long distances, the Metanium offers unmatched versatility, strength, and precision – the perfect balance of lightweight comfort and powerful performance.
