Gawd that Metanium looks nice. Wasn't into the gold trims on the original pics but that all silver scheme is looking sleek. Just when I said I was getting into MB reels this year Shimano keeps pulling me back!

there will be a new core in the future....shimano has to offer something priced in between the ci4 and met which is right where the core fits in....
Why not just bring over the Aldebaran? They already brought the Conquest, Antares, and Metanium.
That's the route I bet you will take. They did it with the Metanium, Antares & Calcutta Conquest as you know. I am sure the Curado and cheaper reels will be unique to JDM or USDM. High end? I bet they just change serial numbers and bring them across, nice and easy and probably saves costs for tooling in factories etc.
Well there sending the curado overseas so that theory is off

Yea it's funny eh they sell both the Scorpion and the Curado in Japan. Wonder if the Curado is cheaper there being made in Malaysia.
