Hey, currently have metanium 15 DC XG pair with shaula tour grade-4. I am thinking to get new combo of them since I am very happy with my own. I know shaula have new -5 that shown in Yakuma fishing show in 2020 and I know the models and my choice and I am waiting for it to hit the market, I am just confused about size of new metanium, is it smaller than older model? because I really love it to be smaller. please anyone have seen or touched or compare them , tell me about it. all other info about changing body and design and gear is very clear. Thank you.

Hello everyone! New to the forum as a member, but been a lurker for a little while now. I am currently wanting to get some advice on what my next purchase should be. I own the Dobyn's Xtasy DRX 742SF and love it! Not one complaint about it, but I am now wanting a casting setup. I am going to be picking up another high end rod for bottom contact, and it will be paired with a Shimano Metanium DC. I am going to use it for 1/2oz to 3/4oz jigs + trailer, smaller swimbaits, T-rigs, etc. Occasionally I'll even throw the Z-Man Giant TRD with their Mag Shroomz Head that will weigh around 1oz. Jigs are definitely the main purpose, though. I am considering getting another Xtasy, the DRX 755C, or venture out and try the NRX 894C. I know the 894C is rated up to 3/4oz, but I'm discouraged to move up to the 895C, because I hear how tip heavy it is. I have also heard the 894C can handle up to 1oz lures fairly well. A Dobyn's Champion Extreme DX 744C split grip is also on the board, but I am really focusing on the Xtasy or NRX. What are the opinions out there? Has anyone tried either, or both of these specific models? If you were in my boat (pun intended), what would you do? Thanks everyone!

Ive seen so many reviews of Shimano DC reels on the YouTube and read so many article about them, When I put all of them together, I found that Metanium Dc Have the greatest rating between all of them. Ive used SLX, Metanum and Antares DC reels and I have different idea. First put the SLX aside which is the cheapest and yet very good reel but 90% of us would be agree that metonym and Antares will be finalist here, I am agree that metanum DC is very super cool reel in so many angel but it is not nearly good as Antares and I think all this reviews we have all over because Antares price is so high and so many of this people even didn't try the reel yet. If you never use the Antares you need to know there is only two point that metonym would be negative for some anglers, but not for me, First price is almost twice as metanium,and the actual reel weight 6.7oz Vs 7.8oz Antares, And thats it. Ive use them both for long time and I love them both, but if I had chance to get all of my reels and afford to change, I would change all to antennas Dc. I am casting T rig(weightless) against wind and it casting farther than metanium, or I am casting heavy lures much farther with it, it is not only casting distance, it is about the drag as well specially for SoCal anglers like myself that we dealing with heavy grass and heavy fishes. anyways I don't want to make it long, I just want to say most of reviews out there done by anglers that never tried Antares, and once they do I am sure most of them will say thats the best shaman reel yet. Thank You for reading and I would be happy to hear your feedback, especially if you are using both of them.

Hi all! I am in the process of saving to get a Metanium probably from overseas. While browsing I noticed they also have a Metanium with the digital control system. Just wanted some feedback if it's worth getting the DC version? Thanks in advance!
