JDM Metanium issue

cubs23 · Post by **cubs23** » Wed Mar 13, 2019 3:08 pm

I bought a Metanium last spring and really liked it a lot. But about halfway into the season it developed a grindy feeling. It just doesn't feel as buttery smooth as my other Shimanos. Since I'm afraid to disassemble a $400 reel I took it into a tackle shop/service center, along with a few other reels to get cleaned and lubed. Unfortunately it did not help. Can you please give me some advice on how to fix this problem?

Check out this thread : viewtopic.php?f=47&t=77338

Also might want to contact Shimano, they may warrantee it (1 year I think??)

Thanks, I called the Tackle Trap to discuss this issue and everyone with knowledge on this problem is gone until Monday. They all took a road trip to Knoxville for the BMC.

You can send the reel directly to us for repair since this is a global model.
