Shimano Metanium MGL B Baitcasting Reel – METMGL150HGB

For avid anglers seeking cutting-edge innovation, the Shimano Metanium MGL B Baitcasting reel presents a revolutionized design packed with top-tier enhancements for the 2020 lineup. Embodying new and groundbreaking technologies, this latest model from Shimano is crafted for the pinnacle of baitcasting reel performance.

The Metanium MGL B's body design is a marvel of modern engineering, featuring an ultra-strong, single-piece Magnesium CoreSolid Body. Such construction not only provides superior strength and rigidity but also creates a new standard for low-profile baitcasting reels. This design offers a direct sensation of lure movements, as vibrations effortlessly transmit to the anglers' hands even with slack lines, ensuring perfect lure presentation and increased strike detection. Along with its exceptional structural integrity, the magnesium frame supports lightweight operation and robust corrosion resistance in freshwater surroundings.

Beneath the sleek exterior lies a pioneering MicroModule gear system constructed from robust solid brass, a significant leap from prior aluminum-geared models. The introduction of smaller and finer gear teeth leads to a smoother, more efficient gear train offering unwaveringly smooth retrieves. Casting precision is taken to the next level with the revolutionary MGL III Spool, which trims spool inertia by 17% over its predecessor, thereby enabling longer casting distances with light lures that normally pose challenges. This innovation affords anglers immense flexibility and control for technical casting techniques in complex situations, like accurate skipping jigs under docks or battling headwinds with subtler baits.

The Shimano Metanium MGL B is the epitome of technical innovation, exemplified by its suite of Shimano's proprietary technologies such as Micro Module Gear, X-Ship, Hagane Body, MGL Spool, Shimano Stable Spool Design (S3D), Silent Tune, Cross Carbon Drag, SVS Infinity, S A-RB Bearings, Super Free Spool, and Core Solid Body. Seamlessly integrated, they create a synergy that delivers unparalleled baitcasting reel performance.
