Grabbed a metanium dc a. Love it so far. Sports car guys-this Feels like the dual clutch AWD torque vector option. And I know fans of the analog era must exist. I’m in Wisconsin and put it on my trikka. Challenge me in cast distance and rig weight ;)
Sir. thanks for the detailed review. I love my 2020 Metanium on Ceramics ball bearings. I'm really looking forward to the comparisons between the two ladies on the water. And yes that is true as some say it is the best TH-cam channel for fishing enthusiasts.
Tested mine out yesterday and I am thoroughly impressed. We had 20-30MPH winds and I was casting directly into the wind and had zero backlashes. Night and day difference between Curado DC and Mentanium DC. My new favorite real!
Got mine last wk, haven’t tested it yet. As of now it looks bad azz on my NRX+ sitting on my rod rack. I got a great feeling about it, that I ordered another XG last night. I actually prefer the gloss black look of it over the ‘24 Steez I recently ordered
Just a curious inquiry. I have the regular Metanium. On cold winter days, after many hours of casting with cold hands and wet fingers, do other anglers rub their casting hand thumb raw from casting by pressing the Metanium rubberized thumb bar? I have noticed this. After several hours of casting, you’re ready to find another reel to use. I wished the thumb bar was smooth without a rubber mat. But still these Metaniums are excellent reels. Thanks for the video.
Could you compare Calcutta Conquest 100DC and Metanium 24DC? I'm trying to understand what will be best to use with weights 5-25gramm lead with silicone fish (Jigrig, caroline, etc.)
i have a curado dc reel. maybe i'm wrong, but i don't think the dc actually does anything (on my reel) other than make a cool noise. i still need to use my thumb skills. it doesn't SEEM to cast any better or worse than my other reels. i just wonder if other people have the same experience, or is there something wrong with mine? or maybe there's something i'm doing wrong?
I have 2 Curado DC reels and I feel exactly the same way. I actually get far more backlashes on the Curado DC’s than my other reels as well. I have them lined up with Tatsu fluro line and have been told that the Curado DC performs much better with braid. Now the new Mentanium DC is amazing. I did line it up with Suffix 131 braid and it cast great. I had zero backlashes in strong winds too on medium braking which I found pretty impressive. I tested the reel out using the Jackhammer chatterbait .
I think this will be a great reel especially that it also has the 5 step break intensity adjuster. Got to get one. Tried a zillion but feels like an AliExpress reel compared with the 22 Metanium.
Post loongze DC era, IMZ and DC seem outdated unless they learn from the chinese. Simply put every DC product has its limited range of settings, unlike LZ. Also, IMZ is too troublesome that requires charging. YMMV .
The opening screen might suffer some translation issues. How can we understand the Bible without a philosophical framework? Which Philosophers mirrored Christian values? What historical evidence philosophers looked at occult (any more than other sources, all of which these brilliant men were obligated to investigate)? Talk of individual redemption and objective truth (the messiah) on fishing channels warms my heart! Thank you.
Now it making me think really hard about buying one now I thought it would look good I just buy the $479.88daiwa steez sv tw 100xh it looks better than the digitaka Japan $360.09 metanuim dc it suck I was going to buy two like I said last time digitaka has it for sale $360.09 not over $500 I like the gun metal color I got to think on this 😢😢😢
Why don’t people these days just learn to use their thumb like we did 40 years ago. Buy an Ambassadeur 2500c, take the brake blocks out and educate that thumb. Job done. Everything else is just cosmetics and marketing.
Right? What about we go back tonthe bamboo sticks 10000 years ago with a silk line and no nylons and stuff like that. Learn to just fish with that. No thumb. No metals just bamboo sticks.
I agree. I can’t help but wonder if these electronic reels have a limited “lifetime”. I still have my old 2500’s, 5000’s, 5500’s mounted up to period correct rods. Boy these new reels really outshine the 40 year old technology with casting and feel. But, I wonder will these DC reels still be operational in 10 years with regular usage.
Came here to see the reel, I have a few curado DCs, but what in the world is that intro? Philosophers got their ideas from "Daemons"? And to claim that famous historical philosophers were occultists? Is there anything to prove that? Socrates followed the Athenian gods, which is not of the occult, being that it was the dominant religion of his peers, and predates our definition of "occult". Many other ancient philosophers were atheist, or followed many other common religions of the time. What is the point you're trying to make? That classical philosophy is antithetical to Christianity? There's not really an argument there, as they predate christianity. I'm just so curious as to how you think philosophy is bad, and what that has to do with religion? In my opinion, religion and philosophy are similar, but not mutually exclusive.
Research how Plato who was a student of Socrates got his information. How he got is information of "Atlantis". He readily admits he gets his ideas from entities. That is done through occult meas. All the technology you see was obtained through occult means by the way. Philosophy predates Christianity... So what? Alot of false religions predate the coming and birth, death, and resurrection of Yahusha(Jesus). But Yahusha (known as the Word of the Lord in the Old Testament) predates EVERYTHING. Read the 1st book of Enoch to learn the origins of the occult. Philosophy is usually always some attempt to indirectly rationalize not following YHWH's law. And following Jesus is not religion, its relationship with him.
@@THEREELTEST no one is dogmatic about Plato. No one believes everything those philosophers said was fact. Their main draw is that they are the earliest examples of philosophy, not that their philosophies are objectively true. Things written thousands of years ago must be viewed as unreliable, as they are pretty much never first hand accounts. That goes for religious texts and philosophical texts. Technology is obtained through occult means? Can you elaborate on that? Did the engineers at Shimano do a séance to make this reel? What do you mean by occult?
@@THEREELTEST I have absolutely nothing against religion or religious people, or “followers of Christ” if the word “religion” is distasteful to you, but I definitely have something against people who present things as fact when they have no reliable evidence, and make specious claims about things that have nothing to do with what they’re talking about. Everyone is free to hold their own opinions, but when you shout them out, and they don’t make any sense, you should be ready to be called out on them.
You should stop with the religious garbage at beginning of vids.. makes not want to watch if not for being a Shimano fan myself.. I like your vids, just don’t want that stuff pushed onto a reel video
This the THE BEST fishing reel channel in THE WORLD!!!
That'll go great with my Orion Black Rose.
I get mine hopefully today... from my 2020 to this 2024 so ready!!!

did the ceramic ball bearings improve anything? From the test I did, theres really no need to upgrade bearings on shimanos higher end reels
Just got mine. Haven't spooled it yet. Going to look good on my Shimano Poison Adrena.
i can't wait to see your casting battles with this reel..
Tested mine out yesterday and I am thoroughly impressed. We had 20-30MPH winds and I was casting directly into the wind and had zero backlashes. Night and day difference between Curado DC and Mentanium DC. My new favorite real!
Price tag shows the difference 😅
@@tims_always_fishing7117if you know where to buy one then it's the best sub $380 reel on the global market.
That’s good to know! I have no choice to like it, about a wk after I received my 1st one, I ordered a 2nd one last night. I luv the 70 spool size
Can’t wait for the casting tests with this reel
That beauty on the new GLX is money!!!
U should see how it looks on the Nrrx+ 😎
@livinglife3230 not a fan of the baby blue
I bet it looks good even on the old one. :)))
@OVSpr fr!!
Might get one for my nrx +
Really hope there’s an old vs new video coming soon!
There is
Got mine last wk, haven’t tested it yet. As of now it looks bad azz on my NRX+ sitting on my rod rack. I got a great feeling about it, that I ordered another XG last night. I actually prefer the gloss black look of it over the ‘24 Steez I recently ordered
mr deep pockets lol
Love your breakdowns Sir. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for sharing and looking forward to seeing the test video. Thanks alot
Interesting, thanx!
Waiting for test of this reel on water with a lot of baits.
I hope it cast as good as it looks. Thanks for the content I’m still on the edge about getting this reel. Not sure the bang is worth the buck.
I will do a comparison vs the much cheaper slx dc xt sometime. but if price is your concern get the slx dc xt, they are a steal at the moment
Price is not the issue. I just seem to cast further with my none dc reels. Plus I get 80% of my reels from digitaka.
Waiting for left hand one, already pre-ordered Twin Power
Just a curious inquiry. I have the regular Metanium. On cold winter days, after many hours of casting with cold hands and wet fingers, do other anglers rub their casting hand thumb raw from casting by pressing the Metanium rubberized thumb bar?

Specs wise, is it worth it for the money to buy this metanium dc over slx dc xt? Thank you for your great video as always 👍
Is the US spec also going to be a 70size spool?
Just received mine from Digitaka it’s a nice looking reel but I have to put some time on it. I am awaiting to see your assessment and opinion
ฉันจะจับคู่กับ untimaของฉันมันจะสุดยอดมาก
Could you compare Calcutta Conquest 100DC and Metanium 24DC? I'm trying to understand what will be best to use with weights 5-25gramm lead with silicone fish (Jigrig, caroline, etc.)
I dont have the Conquest
@@THEREELTEST it's sad, will wait for your casting test video. I hope you"ll test metanium 24dc with light weights
Oh, forgot to ask. Does this reel have clicker drag and drag wheel with clicker?
Man!! When is the new Chronarch coming?
I hope this year, with a core solid ci4 + frame... but who knows
Thanks for the great review, as per usual. Do you think they will release a 150 size at some later point?
possibly... if they did they would have to modify either the frame or the spool
i have a curado dc reel. maybe i'm wrong, but i don't think the dc actually does anything (on my reel) other than make a cool noise. i still need to use my thumb skills. it doesn't SEEM to cast any better or worse than my other reels. i just wonder if other people have the same experience, or is there something wrong with mine? or maybe there's something i'm doing wrong?
I have 2 of the ‘24 Metaniums but haven’t tested them yet. My ‘20 Metanium did outcast the ‘15 Metanium DC very noticeable & I ended up selling it.
I have 2 Curado DC reels and I feel exactly the same way. I actually get far more backlashes on the Curado DC’s than my other reels as well. I have them lined up with Tatsu fluro line and have been told that the Curado DC performs much better with braid.

The reel is under 300 in Japan, why would you buy the same reel for 500?
The US has an import tax
Daiwa Paintjob is Same AS Bad. Ordered 2 daiwa steez CT and both Had painting flaws 😢
Nice
Damn i already buy SLX DC 71 HG 2023 .. Now this metanium will launch..
I think this will be a great reel especially that it also has the 5 step break intensity adjuster. Got to get one. Tried a zillion but feels like an AliExpress reel compared with the 22 Metanium.
😂😂😂 sure guy
@@Daiwa_Is_King get yourself a metanium and see for yourself.

You finally know what color it is!! 😂
youre welcome
Damn a huge price bump but magnesium body. Man those are a big no for me.
A 70 size spool for a 500 dollar reel…… really?
You don’t need 100 yards of 17lb fluoro
I think I would buy another Steez before I pay for that
its your money, you can waste it however you want lol
It looked good with an expride or the addrenna
Now it making me think really hard about buying one now I thought it would look good I just buy the $479.88daiwa steez sv tw 100xh it looks better than the digitaka Japan $360.09 metanuim dc it suck I was going to buy two like I said last time digitaka has it for sale $360.09 not over $500 I like the gun metal color I got to think on this 😢😢😢
Will it be made in a 150 size?
I assume if the demand is there but it would require a frame and spool modification
I hope they come out with a 100 all magnesium side plate and where the handle plate not plastic you’re 2015 metanuim dc a 150 or 100 or 70
Lews is half the price and way better and lighter.
cool story kid!
Yes,you over paid
Sticking with my metanium mgl b, not worth an extra $50 for a smaller spool size
Why don’t people these days just learn to use their thumb like we did 40 years ago. Buy an Ambassadeur 2500c, take the brake blocks out and educate that thumb. Job done. Everything else is just cosmetics and marketing.
not use 2500c,just metanium mgl,take svs brake block out😂or take off the svs😢
Right? What about we go back tonthe bamboo sticks 10000 years ago with a silk line and no nylons and stuff like that. Learn to just fish with that. No thumb. No metals just bamboo sticks.

Can i have your oldest metanium dc ?
contact shimano they will take care of that dirt dust that got painted ... made in japan stuff are well taken care of no question asked
I got it from Japan so Id have to ship it back. Its not worth the hassle
yeah sucks... but contact them let them know .. i had that on my rod and they gave me some of my money back and kept the rod..@@THEREELTEST
You should stop with the religious garbage at beginning of vids.. makes not want to watch if not for being a Shimano fan myself.. I like your vids, just don’t want that stuff pushed onto a reel video
