Kuro says it’s got the Aluminum main gear to counterbalance the extra 10g of the DC unit so it can stay at 175g total weight. And the body has been “completely” rebuilt to host the DC though on the outside it looks the same.

[SSS]

So the size is identical to the 2020 met?

No mention of the exciting drag sound either on Shimano Japan. Kind of a deal breaker for me nowadays.

Yes, only sideplate a bit more bulky

Since that’s a $10-15 upgrade on AliExpress, I started not minding and not paying attention at all

Can someone send the link or parts info for drag clicker for 2020+ Metainiums?

Thanks.

That's a bit of a bummer. I was really hoping it would be a little smaller than the 15.

Is the palming side plate still made out of magnesium, or is it plastic? If its plastic, i kinda get why its so light for a DC reel.

The New Metanium DC does not contain brass gear anymore. It is aluminum now

That's really unfortunate that they go from brass to aluminum. I get that a lot of reels are going aluminum to save some weight, but dang...

$353 on digital-not a bad price for sure.

With the small spool, I think it would be a fun reel for a medium rod

I feel like this is going to be really nice for tossing jerkbaits. I’m really considering picking one of these up strictly for throwing Pointer 100s and Vision 110s.
