Just wanted to make sure y'all do realize that Shimano made those DC reels to where you could back off the spool tension quite a bit I always run my DC's with a fairly loose spool and never have any issues backlashing and they Outcast every reel I own by far. By the way I have the metanium DC 70 XG and I used a measuring wheel and put it on a Dobyns Kaden 7 ft 3 medium heavy moderate fast with a .71 Oz casting plug and casted it 199.5 ft so free up your DC reels you'll thank me later.
@@krisearley4689 agreed the manual says to tighten to remove side to side play is all you need. The dc does its job to stop overruns.
I used one week : 15 Metanium DC reel & 24 Metanium DC reel with a Jackall Bonnie 107 18g
I had a lot of backlash issue with the new 24 Metanium DC on small wind,despite different brake settings. No issue with the 15 Metanium DC !!! I'm very disappointed
Make sure you are setting your tension knob tighter than you think you need to. The DC-5 will handle the rest
@@LakeProTackle Thanks responding . I don't use tension knob tighter I brake the spool before the lure hits the water. Can this cause backlash at the start of the cast ?
@@claudegva In my opinion if you are using the DC properly you should be able to almost never have to thumb the spool. Also yes low tension based on how you throw the lure will cause more frequent backlashes
Hope you see this, just got a Metainium DC dose the drag ramp up quickly on this Shimano , Thanks in advance !
I noticed the drag does ramp up very quickly on this model and the Bantam. They were designed for fast drag control so you can lock it down in dense cover
Great video! I’m not totally sold on this reel. I like the ideal the controls are on the outside. It looks 🔥. But sadly not what I’m looking for at the moment, or maybe it is and I just can’t get past the 70 size spool.
To be honest the 70 size spool isn't bad at all casting up to 17lb test. The IDC5 is so powerful and can even throw BFS!
The 2 2024 met dc reels I have are both used for texas rigs/pitching. They are amazing at pitching and still cast very far when needed. They feel great in the hand and are just a joy to use, but I did swap out the aluminum gears sets for brass gear sets. Im not a fan of aluminum gears in reels at all. I somehow missed they have aluminum gears, or I likely would have gotten 2 Antares Dc reels instead. But, I have them now, complete with brass gears. I love these but the 2 Antares dc reels I have are my overall favorites. The standard Antares reels and the Met dc reels tie for my second most favorite. They all are wonderful, just different in some ways.
That is awesome!
I bought one of these have not had a chance to fish it yet, but it’s gonna be tough to beat a zillion sv
Not to hard zillion sv is actually my shortest distance caster.
@@jimmypage279 shorthest by not far. But Zillion is much much more user friendly reel that it just simple cast without being nervous for backlases. And is much cheaper! For me the Zillion is absolut an winner!
I own 2 of the new Metanium DCs. They cast brilliantly! Guys remember is a 70 series spool. It’s not made for 3/4-1oz deep diving cranks or super heavy applications. It is more of a finesse style reel, small cranks and 1/2oz jerkbaits its wheel house. It’s not completely idiot proof don’t expect it to be.
Just because it's a 70 does not make it a finesse real automatically granted it may have been intended for finesse applications for most situations but there's nothing that is keeping you from using it for all around it performs beautifully on a higher-end medium heavy rod that is lighter weight.
@@krisearley4689 basically what I was trying to say bud. It’s just not an HD reel doesn’t have the gears for 1oz and over nor the line capacity.
@@krisearley4689 you want to fry the gears on that Met 70 run an 8XD for a day on it with 15 pound line. Much rather have the older Met DC for cranking 16’ and down divers.
I use it with a 18 g / 0.6 Oz Lire
Great vid and results !!! Thanks !
What kind of cord was that 14:00?
Line was 15lb fluoro
Why will you set the tension knob so tight, just to cast with 0 DC braking? It just doesnt make sense :/
I’ve heard the people having problems with their Metanium are from the Japanese market model, not the US market Metanium.
I have a lot of backlash issue with : 24 Metanium DC model JDM !!! Do you have more informations about issue with Metanium DC from the Japanese market ?
Nice Daiwa shirt. 😉
thanks ahahah
Adjusting the cast control cap in 2024? On a $500 reel? What the hell am i seeing here? The whole point of the DC is the ease of use. Never have Shimano released a reel with DC brakes that required any tension of your cast control. They really did mess up the tuning of the DC of these reels. The MGLIII spool is too fast for IDC-5, or at least the way they tuned it for this spool (if any tuning was even done at the factory). What a disaster.
It’s so funny the gentleman is wearing a daiwa shirt showing us how to use a shimano.
I did buy a steez. I love it ! But I don’t see that big of a difference in the performance of the steez over the zillion. For the price difference!
There isn’t any with performance really. It’s just the material of the actual reel.
Honestly, I gave mine away.
Felt burned by Shimano on this one. $500 in the toilet.
But lucky for me. I don't need training wheels on a Baitcaster
Not mine ! First time I’ve EVER heard that from a Zillion owner. Maybe you need to learn how to adjust it. It took me a while to fine tune it.
All this talk about using the tesion knob has me face palming. Seriously guys do you drive your car around with the hand brake on? The tension knob should be set just to take up axial play (you should just barely feel some "rock" when you thumb the spool side to side). The only reason to use the tension knob is when throwing heavy baits in close structure to prevent the couple of loose loops that can occur in that scenario aka a "technical overrun". Everything else should be controlled by the braking assembly or module, hence the reason for different reels (i.e. spools) for different casting applications. Try it, you can thank me later. I came here to see a review but the data is flawed, sorry.
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm no
Should have bought a Steez 😎
Why you guys scare to cast a rip bait or buzz bait smfh
🤣🤣🤣🤣
We definitely threw a jerkbait
Also didn't have braid for the buzzbait
Great video going to have to get one
You should do it at lakeprotackle.com!
What I'd like to see how far that real can cast a half ounce spinnerbait, everybody cast aerodynamic baits. I need to see someone cast something with fluff.
@@garysmith7832 The 6th Sense jerkbait has almost no weight transfer and the reel handled it well with 20mph winds. We can definitely try a big spinnerbait
