I don't know what size you're looking for ?

Tackle warehouse listed the US Metanium 150 B Yesterday. You can pre-order from them.

There stating right hand model available February 13.. that's interesting because Shimano Japan is listing the JDM version 70 size.. availability as May!

The US/Canada version is a 150 spool size, The JDM is a 70 spool size.

Is it just me or does the 100 sized conquest look bigger than a regular 100 sized conquest?

I just noticed on the shimano japan site that the Conquest 100 has the same line capacity in meters as the 2020 Metanium that is "suppose" to be a 70. Maybe the new Met is a 100? Not sure lol.

[Real Pudd legend]

Any idea when it will be available for purchase ?

I've noticed that Japanese tend to have small hands, so I think that's why all the reels look large in the videos. Even the Curado 70 looked huge in those Japanese videos when they were first introduced. Same way with the rods-they look like 8 footers in the videos.
