New Metanium Sneak Peak

New Metanium Sneak Peak - 01/29/20 03:45 PM

New look at the upcoming Metanium MGL 150 B.
As someone who has handled pretty much every Shimano freshwatwer product, I can confidently say this is my favorite baitcaster they've made. It feels like a Bantam in the hand, but the magnesium frame makes it significantly lighter. Can't wait to break one in on the water!

Latest ETA I've heard is mid-February. With gear like this, that's always subject to change. It will be the same price as the old MGL. $419.99

Sweet. Since that one looks to have a few scuffs , give you 300 for it. Lol

There’s only 1 cure for the disease and it’s to buy more tackle!

My two favorites for fishing are the Core and Curado K.

I'll give this new reel a look but i doubt it can break into my rotation, especially at that price.

Add that to the new Dobyns high end rod that will soon be out on the market and you will have a very sweet set up.

Re: New Metanium Sneak Peak - 01/30/20 02:54 PM

Lol! Our old MGLs have unfortunately clearanced out already.

Hoping we can get the new ones in right before Valentine's Day. This rell + the new Poison Adrena rod = Pure Bliss grin

Are you talking about the Xtasy? Or the new Fred Roumbanis Series?

Re: New Metanium Sneak Peak - 01/30/20 03:12 PM

The Xtasy and one of the reels would be the cat's meow!
