Just wanted to say hello and God bless you, brother! Best YouTube Channel ever!

[Dmitro_]

Thank you for the interesting tests🤝. What can you do, new technologies show better results ☝️.

[ediwoyoo]

Of course DC is better, because the reel is in new condition. 4 years difference. If both are in new conditions, it will be easier to find who is better.

In one of your cast battles, the metanium MGL was crowned the 1/4oz plug champion. Is it safe to assume the DC has now taken that spot?

[Smolikrv]

Thanks for the video. The question if the spool starts same easy with wrist casts or backhand. For example I am using plastic rigs and need precise casts for 10-20m. Lure weight starts from about 10gr.

[luster]

Is this Metanium MGL version “A” or “B”???

[dougkennedy]

To me casting distance is great. But the reel test (pun intended) is how does it cast into the breeze. Can I cast a square bill further without backlash into a mild breeze

[livinglife]

Great video bruh! I’ve already replaced 3 of my ‘20 Metaniums with the new DC model, might as well replace the others. And they look better on the Nrx+ rods. I’m actually enjoying the new DC reels more than the ‘24 Steez SV TW I bought 😮

[humbertocesar]

Qual você prefere a curado m200 ou a curado mgl 150?

[timothybolden]

Great video! You've got to have a Calcutta 100hg on the channel! I bet you it can out-cast the 20 Metanium. At least in my experience!

[jasonallen]

I hope Shimano comes out with a 100 size of this as i am not a braid to leader user. I would love to spool one of these DC’s to 16# FL for a chatter bait.

[JiminyCricket]

Is it just me, or is the Metanium DC finicky? I'll make a cast and it just gets stuck mid cast every now and then. However, I don't have these issues with the regular Metanium. The regular metanium is just super reliable. Even if the DC is able to cast further, I'd rather take the regular Metanium for ease of use and reliability.

I just wanted to put my two cents in about the spool tension on the dc reels . The best way I’ve found to adjust it is to put the brakes on the highest settings, then fine tune the spool tension to where it can cast with no thumbing with no fluff. Then back down the brake knob to where you want to set it . This works great for me, I can bomb anything with no trouble.

[raabish]

Nice test, thanks, now that i know its not too bad compared to regular I think im also going to get it and then spend whole day catching sea trout testing the metaniums to see which i like more, not just casting range but also the feel of them. I have also noticed that using a really good and slick braid increases performance more on some reels than others. I really like the daiwa evo+ series of braids i suggest you try it sometimes. I think if i got a 500$ reel why not spend 25$ extra to get max performance out of it.

[tims_always_fishing]

The Tranx 150 is absolutely ridiculous, outcasts my mgls and DCs

[adaofromdiscord]

SeaKnight Brand FALCAN III could you review this reel next for us ?

[BPfishing]

Is there a difference between the JDM 2024 metanium dc and US version?

[chegack]

pls..try it with 1 oz. casting plug+20lb breid... Will it cast 100yards?))

[christophebailly]

I'm searching for the best Crankbait reel in Shimano reel range. What would be your recommendations please ?
