Loaded with flagship technologies, the Shimano Metanium DC Casting Reel sets the standard by which all other reels are measured. Delivering lightweight, versatile performance, the Shimano Metanium DC Casting Reel is highlighted by Shimanos advanced DC braking technology, which uses a microcomputer to measure spool speed every 1/1000 of a second, so it applies the optimal amount of braking pressuring, virtually eliminating backlashes while maximizing distance.
