OP Titleist77 Pro Angler T Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 709 PK TX	I bought 2 of the new 2020 metanium reels and.... When I opened and pulled them from their box, I gave handle a spin. It will barely make 2 revolutions (same with both reels). If I do this to my daiwa elite reels, the handle will make 5-6 revolutions. Anyone else have a new metanium and your impression? These new ones just dont seem smooth. I did flush spool and side plate bearing on both with no improvement. I had 3 of the 2016 metaniums and they were the best reels I ever owned.

That is absolutely not a way to judge the quality of a reel. Neither is the “spool spin test”. Haha Spool up some line and go fish it. Eat. Sleep. Fish.

The tatula elite and 2016 metanium cast futher, smoother feeling, and quiter than the 2020 metanium imo. Last edited by Titleist77; 12/11/20 05:44 PM.

The 100B or 2020 metanium feel great after you use them a little while but yeah they aren't as good as the 2016 MGL metanium.

It probably has way too much grease and oil in it from the factory. I think they assume it will NEVER get lubed again in its ownership. Lol. Eat. Sleep. Fish.
