Product Description

Completely redesigned by Shimano engineers to be the most advanced Metanium ever produced. The 2020 Metanium features a never-before-seen Magnesium CoreSolid Body, providing professional and enthusiast anglers with the solid advantage of durability, rigidity, and sensitivity while reducing weight. The new CI4+ Star Drag reduces weight even further. Featuring an MGL III spool, reducing spool inertia 17% over the previous generation while still utilizing SVS Infinity Braking for the ultimate in adjustability and distance for all ranges of lures. The Metanium now comes with a brass MicroModule main gear for enhanced durability and long-term smoothness. Silent Tune reduces spool bearing vibration to maximize casting distance and improve cast feel.

Shimano Metanium MGL Features:
  • CI4+: Dramatically reduces overall weight
  • Coresolid Body: Solid one-piece construction for unprecedented rigidity and sensitivity
  • Cross Carbon Drag: Wider range of drag settings, Shimano's smoothest drag ever
  • Hagane Body: High rigidity and impact resistance
  • MGL III Spool: Decreased inertia for unparalleled casting performance
  • Micro Module Gear: Ultra-smooth retrieve
  • S3D Spool: Significantly reduced spool vibration
  • SVS Infinity: Quick, precise braking adjustments
  • S A-RB: Shielded bearings to prevent salt and sand corrosion
  • Silent Tune: Reduced bearing vibration during high-speed rotation for a quieter, smoother cast every time
  • Super Free Spool: Eliminates friction on the spool shaft
  • X-Ship: Improved gear durability
