Super User ATA Posted February 24, 2020 Super User Posted February 24, 2020 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. Quote
Super User jbsoonerfan Posted February 24, 2020 Super User Posted February 24, 2020 I seriously doubt anyone here has held one. Any information you get here will be the same thing that is available on the internet. A few of us have them pre-ordered but have yet to get them in our hands. 1 Quote
The Maestro Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 It looks to about identical in size to the Bantam MGL which would make it considerably smaller than the previous version 1 Quote

I have my Japanese friend ready to jump and get it for me upon availability. thank you so much for your answer. 1 Quote

22RangerZ520R Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 Got 1 of 10 in today, it's smooth as butter. Haven't spooled it up yet and all 10 will be paired up on Conquests. It is more compact vs previous generation Metanium. My initial thought on palming size reminded me of the Core 50's I used to have. Looking forward to getting the remaining 9 in my hands, spooling all of them up hitting the water! I'll try to post a review about them when I get some time under my belt with em'. 1 Quote

I haven't even heard of anyone getting them yet and you claim to have one and leave us hanging without a single picture. 1 Quote

I’ll take pictures of mine compared with the old metanium when I get home this evening, I got it last Thursday but have yet to fish it. It feels like an awesome reel, solid and smooth. 1 Quote

The rod I ordered will be here tomorrow. Sure will look good once it's mounted up. 1 Quote

Super User jbsoonerfan Posted March 11, 2020 Super User Posted March 11, 2020 Will do. I couldn't decide on that or the 7'2 H for a bottom contact rod. I have the PO in the 6'11 M+ that I currently use for 3/16 and a 6'8 MH Expride that I use for 3/8. I am going to try this with 1/4 and see how I like it. Might end up switching it and the Expride. 1 Quote
