Looking at the reel schematics on my Metanium HG, the top plate is the part of the one-pieced frame which is not detachable.tywithay wrote:Wonder if you can buy just the top plate and replace it on the Metanium?
Unless u are prepared to shell out on the frame of the 15' Metanium Dc just for the new ultra cool color which I am tempted to do so.
Very clever of shimano!

Why does everyone think a new core is coming? They may just do what they did with the metanium and release it state side
Re: New Aldebaran and Metanium DC small pics and specs
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....chrisjr1981 wrote:Why does everyone think a new core is coming? They may just do what they did with the metanium and release it state side

Aldebaran is JDM name for Core.chrisjr1981 wrote:Why does everyone think a new core is coming? They may just do what they did with the metanium and release it state side
Re: New Aldebaran and Metanium DC small pics and specs
Why not just bring over the Aldebaran? They already brought the Conquest, Antares, and Metanium.MRQturbo wrote: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....chrisjr1981 wrote:Why does everyone think a new core is coming?

Re: New Aldebaran and Metanium DC small pics and specs
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.tywithay wrote:Why not just bring over the Aldebaran?

No new core.... Just the Aldebaran taking its place.

Check out Ichiban tackle on Facebook, he's got very good pics of the Met DC and Alde in hand.

The Alde looks tiny in that guy's hand! The Twinpower looks sweet.Love2Grabbass wrote:Check out Ichiban tackle on Facebook, he's got very good pics of the Met DC and Alde in hand.
