2016 Shimano Baitcasting Reels

[Bootytrain]

Wonder if I can just drop the new Mgl spool into the 13Met???

I doubt it, the new SVS brakes fly open the opposite way, and in the Casitas the brake drum/pipe in the sideplate is much larger than the drum on my older style svs infinity reels.

So much for the Red Scorpion

[Lure fisherman]

The new scorpion is a small reel. So the red scorpion 200 is still one of the best price reel with a good line cap

The Antares have always been a freshwater reel. For the price i will definitely give it a miss and stick to my saltwater friendly metanium dc 2015

Maybe it was just me, but the Antares looks kind of bulky...

649 dollars is just as "bulky"

Ah, how disappointing, not fine for saltwater. I still actually still wanted one but I need saltwater capable.

Not entirely true, the older antares 97-2011, v2 was okay for saltwater at least according to Jun:

But yeah, I shouldn't have held my breath hoping for saltwater use for this upcoming one.

I'm thinking the MGL Met for frogs ! Anyone agree. Without spending the $650 for the DC Antares it looks like the best option

Why not a 15MetaniumDC? Less than $400. Slings baits like crazy!

Definitely considering it

Show Mono has a lot of girls to choose from.

The above message is what that idiot Siri wrote. LOL

What I wanted to say is that Shimano has a lot of different reels, new and old, coming out that everybody should be happy.

I need to bring my game because I am still stuck on '13 Shimano

[cndbasshunter]

i'm stuck on the 13 as well...will get a few MGL when it comes out to try.

[Pen3]

i'm stock on the 13 as well...will get a few MGL when it comes out to try.

I just notice that the Z has a silver collar on the side cover plate where the Star drag goes in. My regular Met doesn't have it.

sweet...if i find a z-pride it will be a lefty gold for sure. still my favorite over the blue and ltd black.

Yeah that is why i built two other ZPride clones in red and legend blue because i also didn't like the other colors. It ends up costing more than the ZPride itself with everything bought separately and that doesn't even count the free F-Zero oil.
