Designed primarily for freshwater predator fishing, it excels with techniques such as jig fishing, soft plastics, and topwater lures.Built around Shimano's Magnesium CoreSolid Body, the Metanium delivers outstanding rigidity while remaining remarkably lightweight. The one-piece frame minimizes flex under load, increasing sensitivity and improving power transfer during retrieves and while fighting fish. The reel features Shimano's MGL III (MagnumLite III) Spool, which reduces spool inertia by approximately 17% compared to the previous generation. Combined with the SVS Infinity braking system, it offers excellent casting distance, quick spool start-up, and precise control across a wide range of lure weights.
