Features

  • CoreSolid Body (Magnesium): Integrates the B-Side Plate, levelwind guard and frame into a solid one-piece construction. This delivers an unprecedented feeling of rigidity and sensitivity, and is the first design of this type in a low-profile baitcast reel.
  • HAGANE Body: The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power. It's efficiency through strength.
  • MicroModule Gear: The MicroModule system creates a smooth retrieve. The new gear set makes use of smaller teeth and more of them. This means that there are more contact points between the drive gear and pinion gear. The result is a more efficient gear train with less gear feel.
  • X-Ship: Provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This means the gears will stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit is that friction between the spool shaft and gear are eliminated. This will enhance the casting performance of the reel with lighter lures, and allow for longer casts.
  • MGL Spool III: An ultra-thin spool that thoroughly pursues low inertia. The spool has a reduction in inertia by about 15% compared to the second-generation MGL Spool by using a narrow shape with a width of 19 mm for the outer diameter of 34 mm. Resulting in unparalleled casting performance.

Description

The Shimano 2020 Metanium MGL Low Profile Baitcasting Reels are state-of-the- art freshwater reels, boasting a new magnesium CoreSolid body design that's both lightweight and robust. The narrowed spool geometry ensures smoother line passage through the levelwind, resulting in longer, more precise casts. Equipped with the top-tier SVS Infinity braking system, these reels feature a brass MicroModule III main gear and dual bearing supported pinion gear, enhancing durability and providing a refined feel. With eleven ball bearings and a powerful Cross Carbon drag system, these reels offer a lightweight, ergonomic low profile body that's a joy to handle. If you're a fan of Shimano baitcasters, you're in for a treat with the Shimano 2020 Metanium MGL - it's smooth, powerful, and an absolute blast to fish with!

  • The price tag is really worth it! The price tag is really worth it!
Model: METMGL151HGB
Second review on Amazon! Not enough words can be said about this reel! I’m no expert, although I do know a couple things about fishing. This reel truly makes my other expensive reels feel terrible. The new brass micro module system makes it feel super smooth/ durable. The 10+1 ball bearings makes the reel feel super incredibly smooth!!! I have it paired with my Megabass Levante rod for now, although I ordered a 7’2 heavy poison adrena! Don’t get my started about the distance this reel can do! I recommend watching “The reel test”, for he made a YouTube video called the “2021 casting olympics” this video shows the metanium going up against many other incredible reels! This reel is super versatile as well. Overall I recommend this reel if you are serious about fishing, if you are an angler who only fishes a couple times a month, I recommend getting the shimano SLX XT! That reel is incredible for the price. This is the greatest reel I have ever owned. ... show more

  • Love this reel
Model: METMGL151XGB
Matt and Tim at Tactical Bassin recommend this reel to be paired with 7’3” XH Expride rod for the best frog rod in the business and it is. Casts long and smooth.
