Re: Shimano Metanium MgL came in today ....

I have had mine for a month or so, I love it. Casts great and I would say it rivals the conquest in smoothness of retrieve. Heads and shoulders above old metanium. I think the spool bearing on the shaft with the spring (like aldebaran) makes them cast better. I think the slight amount of pressure t...

Re: Conquest 100hg came in (size comparison)

Re: Antares vs Conquest vs Metanium
