Shimano Metanium MGL B Baitcasting Reel – METMGL150B

The Shimano Metanium MGL B Baitcasting reel has been re-engineered for 2020, incorporating cutting-edge technologies to deliver top-notch performance. This latest version of the renowned Metanium reel line features a revolutionary single-piece Magnesium CoreSolid Body design, making it the most advanced Metanium reel to date. The CoreSolid Body enhances sensitivity by effectively transmitting vibrations to the angler's hands, allowing them to detect even the slightest movements of their lure, even on slack line. Made from lightweight magnesium material, the reel offers excellent corrosion resistance in freshwater environments.
Inside the single-piece frame, the Metanium MGL B is equipped with a brand new MicroModule main gear system, made from solid brass. These gears are stronger and more durable than the previous aluminum gears, providing long-lasting and reliable performance with exceptional smoothness.
For precision and long-distance casting, the Metanium MGL B features the MGL III Spool. These ultra-lightweight spools reduce spool inertia by 17%, allowing for superior casting distance with lighter lures that are typically challenging to cast. The lower spool inertia also enables the SVS Infinity braking system to have a wider range of adjustability, providing maximum control with all types of lures, even in difficult casting scenarios such as skipping jigs under docks or casting light baits into the wind.
Combining proprietary Shimano technologies, the Shimano Metanium MGL B offers the ultimate in baitcasting reel performance.
Shimano Technology Found In Metantium MGL B Baitcasting Reels:
– Micro Module Gear: State-of-the-art gear design with smaller teeth for a more efficient gear train and smoother retrieve.
– X-Ship: Supports the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, maintaining precise alignment and position even under heavy loads. This improves casting performance and gear durability.
– Hagane Body: Provides high rigidity to eliminate body flexing and improve power transfer from the angler's actions to cranking power.
– MGL Spool: Lightweight design reduces moment of inertia for greater casting distance and accuracy with a wide range of lures.
– Shimano Stable Spool Design (S3D): Utilizes a balanced thin wall aluminum spool to reduce spool vibration and increase smoothness during casting and retrieving.
– Silent Tune: Reduces spool vibration during casting for quieter operation and smoother rotation.
– Cross Carbon Drag: Offers a wider range of drag settings, enhanced drag washer durability, and the smoothest drag performance from Shimano.
– SVS Infinity: Provides easy and consistent spool control and brake force adjustments to match changing conditions and lures.
– S A-RB Bearings: Anti-corrosion bearings with shields on both sides to prevent foreign objects from affecting rotation.
– Super Free Spool: Minimizes friction on the spool shaft, resulting in longer casts and smoother operation.
– Core Solid Body: Integrates the side plate, levelwind guard, and frame into one solid piece, eliminating frame flex for enhanced rigidity and sensitivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
