Shimano Metanium DC HG (LH) Reel

Tell Me About It

The Shimano Metanium is probably the lightest baitcaster reel Shimano have produced, with a magnesium frame and Hagane aluminium body giving an ultra-lightweight feel that makes this a reel you’ll want to use all day long.

Now available in a left-handed version, so no angler is left behind with this advance in reel technology, the Shimano Metanium features Shimano’s X-Ship gearing technology as standard, with a micro module gear system, in which many small teeth provide increased contact points, giving you more gear power, whilst making sure that you feel the reel, not the gear drive. We’re pretty sure this will give you the smoothest experience you’ve had yet.

A one-touch removable side panel makes this an easy reel to maintain, a fact which comes into its own when you consider that this reel is rated for saltwater and freshwater predator pursuit, meaning it may well go through some pretty rough fishing at times. Being able to easily clean and maintain any reel increases its life span, and ensures that the money you’ve spent on your piece of top-quality fishing tackle is an investment, rather than just an expense.

Robust enough to give you the performance you need, and lightweight enough to ensure the comfort you want, the Shimano Metanium is the new name for reel impact.

What Discipline Is It For?

This is a multiplier reel that’s designed to handle all aspects of salt and freshwater predator fishing.

Why Should I Buy It?

If you’re looking for a reel that can take you from the canal basin to the ocean without losing any of its devastating impact, then the Shimano Metanium, designed for toughness and reliability, and engineered for a silky-smooth feel and effortless comfort, is the only tackle choice you’ll ever need to make, especially if you find using left-handed reels more comfortable.

The Metanium’s star drag system allows for genuine sport, giving running fish plenty of line, whilst reducing the risk of them throwing the hook. When you’re out after predators, part of the fun of fishing is getting into a fight with a fish that’s as determined as you are.

What’s The Best Thing About It?

Light, durable baitcasting performance.
