Shimano knows how to build quality reels of varying sizes function. I have a couple of Stella's and wanted to go with a bait caster which was salt water friendly since I fish in Chesapeake bay mostly. Paired up with a Gloomis NRX and I am happy for whatever swims my way.
Shimano raises the bar with the Metanium MGL 2020.
Everyone has preferences and this reel is almost perfect for me. It's very smooth and casts with ease. The build quality is top notch. It has a solid rugged feel to it but it's buttery smooth. You won't regret getting this reel as it's probably the best all around reel Shimano has made to date.
Very light, fantastic ergonomics, butter smooth cranking, excellent casting, nice drag, but has it’s price. For Shimano Hi-End reels fans, a must have for bass fishing.
I’ve many many reels over the years .. this one is outstanding - working jewelry I say .. just an outstanding reel in all areas . Highly recommended ..
It’s a lightweight powerhouse that’s silky smooth.
Fits in your hand like a dream when palming. Casts incrediblely far and retrieves as smooth as silk. The reel also feels very solid and it should be very durable.
Before this Metanium 2020 I had ordered another one from JapanTackle and it came in. The gears were so buttery smooth. I bought another one from Asianportal and straight out of the box the retrieve felt rough and geary! Normally this should not be felt out the box but it has not gone away ):
