Great review! I appreciate your total honesty. Good to hear of the Negatives too. I wanted a DC reel but ended up buying a Scorpion MD 300 with the extra drag, and Large handle etc but still kinda wonder if I should have got a DC. I definitely have to use my thumb a lot with the MD but am getting used to it. But like I said I would still like to have a DC model as well so am exploring all my options including the 22 Metanium DC Shallow reel as it's a bit more affordable but is still a Metanium. Also the Metanium DC is still made in Japan VS made in Malaysia like the lesser expensive Shimano reels are. There was a time when I was young that made in Japan was a negative but now it's a sign of superior quality so does garner a higher price compared to being made in most other countries.

Nice reel

Really nice reel~ don’t know if I should go for Metanium DC or Antares DC ^^ Thanks for this video

OneCast Fishing yeh ~ besides the 2020 Shimano metanium MGL? I used a bait-casting reel years ago , one time~ so I’m anticipating to go into that style of fishing now~

I just got the curado dc 150 dam now I want this 1

Best part about dc is when it does birds nest, it’s super easy to get it out bc it doesn’t allow for the birds nest to get bad

A piece of tape on the spool helps alot when spooling new line no slipping

@Flynn Jeremy no problem :)

im new to bait casters. and the truth is. if you setup a 100 real correctly and know what you doing. i went from 10 back lashes a day to none in months. i get it. its cool. but if you just take the time to setup and tune your gear right. its not a big deal.

Huh I get that with my Abu ALX none DC can cast without backlash, only difference is I just put the thumb on the spool right at the end of the cast, editing, also that is casting into 15-20 knots ocean swell of 1.2 meters with 7 grams soft plastic / 1/4 oz

I have watched and read many reviews that the 2020 metanium mgl is way better than the metanium dc model.

Costly but would to have one!

My 2012 DC unit hasn't failed after 10 years and 2 sets of gears. It is the braking system, so likely the spool would freespin. But i have 4 DC reels, none of which have failed.

Not quite sure. The reel was a demo version and came with 40-50 pound braid on it. I wasn’t about to put new line on it to send it back. However, on the one I got I am using 30 pound braid and 8 pound floro. I use it for jerkbaits

Nah...the Shimano Antares A70 crushes it in performance and casting ability. I have both. The New Daiwa Steez Limited with sv boost will probably put both reels in there place when its released end of December.

All Shimano Baitcasters pull slightly LEFT on hard casts I've noticed. Daiwa's T-wing system does solve that.

I sold mine and bought the 2020 Shimano Calcutta 100dc from plat jp. I have to admit its better than the Metanium. The Calcutta can cast small lure much better and more solid feel.

If you do a lot of researching you will see that the spool weight is of critical importance to casting light baits well (finesse), but that also includes the weight of the line. So if you want to cast far you want a shallow light weight spool so it doesn't hold a lot of line. But then you need to consider the size of the line or you may cast it off if your line is too thick. The reel that will do it all has to have a lot of compromises built in. Great engineering helps a lot and Shimano seems to have that in spades. The spools of the DC reels have a magnet built in which I'm sure add a little spool weight but does provide a good dose of consistency and reliability to your cast which combined with the excellent engineering and quality parts adds up to a pretty good value considering it should last many years. Oh, and that sound it makes has to be worth a few extra bucks! LOL

Did you watch the video? It was a demo reel from tackle warehouse. A program they no longer run. So why wouldn't I put in on a rod I already own, especially when I had to ship the reel back a week later...

sounds like a fighter jet? get your ears checked.

Way overpriced

Ridiculous price for a piece of metal with a insert brake i use my thumb as a brake this is a reel for beginners who can't fish the right way.
