Are you planning on buying the new Metanium MGL? Any other reels i should review? Let me know! Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe, tight lines!
I just picked up the 22 metanium shallow. Absolutely love it… casts like a dream and is so buttery smooth on retrieve… I have a hard time putting it down even when I know I need to be fishing another combo for a specific lure.
Congrats on the new addition to the family!!!It's a very very nice combo. I bought a couple of currado DC's Last year. This year I was thinking about buying 1 super super nice addition to the lineup. I'm just kind of mad I bought about 50 rods and reels last year and went that mid range point and wish I would have bought 10 super nice ones Instead of What I did
Thank you for the kind words. Yeah I went with this combo with what you had mentioned, get myself one high end piece to the line up. The problem is when you get something so nice, it ruins you from the low end stuff haha. I love all my gear but this is just a few notches above the rest.
Sir, have you tried activating the 4 white coloured tiny braking blocks under the side cover? Mine was OFF, all 4 (factory setting) of them when unboxing. Much better I guess?
Thanks for the review. I really love my other mgls and i am just waiting of the posibility to order this one. Which Adrena you used during this video, the 172 H?
Thank you for watching man. If you decide to get one of these, I know you’ll absolutely love it. Sorry I should have said the specs on the rod. It’s the 7’3” MH. I think the MH will be better suited for the reaction baits I’ll be throwing.
Thank you for watching! If you pull the trigger on this reel, you’ll fall in love. Those other companies make some fun and solid reels, but this is really taking it to the next level. Again thanks for watching and the comment, good luck man!
I just ordered the METMGL150B expecting it to be in by Friday. I'm pairing this with my 2020 zodias 7.5 MH. Can this reel handle crankbaits like 6xd? I can't find a video of metanium being tried on a crankbait. Thanks!
Hey thanks for watching and the comment. Not sure I’ll ever be able to give that a shot haha. I love it salt free up here in Michigan but I wonder if any other youtubers will give that a try.
What internal brake settings are you running ? I tried throwing 1/2 ounce buzzbait yesterday with new metanium and mostly birdnested. Never had that problem with any other Shimano. I was even birdnesting with 2 brakes on and dial turned to 6 😳. Could of been the blades catching too much air but man I was losing my mind.
+Toothies123 to be honest, I haven’t touched the internal brakes at all. Just dialed in the side brakes and spool tension until I started launching stuff haha. We have about 50mph winds here today but maybe tomorrow I’ll play with the internals and see what I can some up with. I’m already planning on doing an update to this reel and I’ll try and talk about that in the update.
Fishhook Terry I appreciate it. Ya if you haven’t touched the internal brakes yet they come stock all turned on I believe. Amazing that you were able to cast like that. I haven’t been able to cast worth a damn with this thing yet. Even with brakes turned off but like I said my guess is the blades on the buzzbait were catching some serious wind and that was causing the backlash. Or the very rare chance I have a defective reel but I doubt that.
+Toothies123 I agree with you, I bet that buzz bait is giving that reel fits. I got mine dialed in with a swim jig and now it’s been really good for just about anything including spinnerbaits. I have 15lb Seaguar InvizX on it and it’s good, but I think I’d get a little better line management with Sunline Sniper. That stuff is really my go to but I tried the InvizX from Instagram recommendations.
I was extremely close to purchasing the 7’3” Poison Adrena but decided to go with the MegaBass Destroyer 7’6” Valdivia. Just couldn’t see not buying the Destroyer for just a few more dollas! Although I’m about to replace my Duckett Micro Magic 7’3” MH and I believe the Shimano Poison Adrena will get the nod on this purchase!! Great vid my man! Also going to pair it with a Metanium MGL.
I just wish it would hurry up and get here, I bought the 2020 Shimano slx dc 70HG JDM and man let me tell you that thing is smooth as butter and cast so easy and far.
Got a couple of HG Mets and love them. A quick question for the people with the current model Poison Adrena rods. Anyone having the grip piece making a clicking noise? It’s driving me nuts.
Hey man, I haven’t experienced any issues with the rod or clicking. I wonder if it’s with your rod. I’ve had good luck with Shimano customer service, maybe send them a message and see if they can help. Good luck man
Had a clicking noise on my PA due to the locknut on the rod. It was driving me crazy because it felt like the rod handle was flexing. Sent TW a message and they replaced it. As long as the purchase is within a year, return it, or give Shimano a call.
Haven’t tried it yet, but with my experience with other Shimano’s and how easy this has been to dial in. I’d say it will throw one very well. I believe this reel is a very good all around performer that should handle really any bait you want...except large swimbaits.
I got cheaper reels that cast 1/2 onz heavy really easy like, try 2 grams or less lures. Luv the Curado K no prob its all in the mind exspensiv combo's really. Got them too Aldebaran bfs xg Steez and the air truly, theres no need to have that Metanium with the little changes in the range highend of Shimano. Daiwa is really great and little better too. That sayed " its a great combo by any means, but not all that for the money. The Dc's and Metanium guys go for the looks and the sound, but do the catch better 😂 anyways Congrat on your son, that is what money dont can buy his first fish just on the cheap rod.

Terry i am in dearborn and want to go fishing let me know. ian24410@gmail.com
I hardly had the money to afford the slx DC! LOL 😂😂😂👍
Chase McNeil same 😂
I just picked up the 22 metanium shallow. Absolutely love it… casts like a dream and is so buttery smooth on retrieve… I have a hard time putting it down even when I know I need to be fishing another combo for a specific lure.
I own a shallow and the 20 metanium. My diawa zillion does what both of those reels do. They're great reels, but are too tactics specific.
Congrats on the new addition to the family!!!It's a very very nice combo. I bought a couple of currado DC's Last year. This year I was thinking about buying 1 super super nice addition to the lineup.

Hey man is the bantam mgl worth it ?? I really need help please answer or should I go with this reel please answer
Love your channel bro, congrats on your little man! Next gen giant slayer!
This the tightest metanium yet. It's weird. It's like smooth but just everything is tight tolerances. I love it. Love the video
Thank you Shawn and I couldn’t agree more with what you said!
Micro gearing.. as Calcutta
Hey congratulations on the baby boy! That's exciting for sure.
Sir, have you tried activating the 4 white coloured tiny braking blocks under the side cover? Mine was OFF, all 4 (factory setting) of them when unboxing. Much better I guess?
Congrats on new son! Health and happiness to your family! Can’t wait for better weather! Got the HG model with a Poison 7.2 Medium!
Thank you David. You’re going to absolutely love yours. Now we wait until those beautiful spring days to go slay em!
Are that 7'2 a Great allrounder.. me using jig up to 3/4
Great Video! What mic do you use? Your talking head audio is amazing!
What was the rod model ?
I just paired my Metanium with the Poison Adrena 7’3” MH
Thanks for the review. I really love my other mgls and i am just waiting of the posibility to order this one. Which Adrena you used during this video, the 172 H?

Nice review! Is this new model Metanium denoted with the "B" in the model number??
Yes
Thanks for this review! I've been running abu and kastking and have been looking to upgrade.

Hey man, found your channel. Good video on this new metanium. Being a metanium DC user myself, I’m interested to see this reel being used in the salt.
Hey thanks for watching and the comment. Not sure I’ll ever be able to give that a shot haha. I love it salt free up here in Michigan but I wonder if any other youtubers will give that a try.
Just rinse it after every use in saltwater like i do with my 10yr old Core 50mg7 and still works flawless.
Hi, I want to buy a baits reel and decide between bantam mgl and mantanium new 2020.
Which is better,
Thanks for the testing video, it’s very useful!
What's your audio setup? It sounds really good!
Thank you man. Just running a Rode videomic pro and the gopro is the new hero 8 with media mod. Tight lines buddy!
Congratulations on the new fishing partner !! Awesome review !!👍👍✌😁
Thank you so much Tim!
Did you ever throw a 1\2 ounce crankbait with the metainium 20 vs metainium dc which cast longest?

New subscriber! Congrats on baby 👶!
Is it made in Japan?
What Shades are you wearing? Great video!
My favorite glasses of all time, Costa Del Mar Rincon. They’re incredible! Thanks for watching Russ
In the past iv used in saltwater can this one handle too
Great Video!! Thanks for posting.
+Bill Turner thank you so much Bill, tight lines!!

Congrats on your son! The best days!
Thank you so much David, I totally agree
Really waiting for this! Thanks!
Thank you for watching buddy, appreciate your support!
How does it compare to the met mgl 16?
I can’t wait for the DC version great video
I need to get my hands on one, I bet the DC version is a rock star too
Nice video!
Met with my conquest 👍🏻
What’s ur settings?
Thanks buddy for the great review well done buddy 👍👍👍
Thank you John, that really means a lot.
What model Shimano Poison Adrena Casting Rod did you choose?
+Christopher LevelleCombs it’s the 7’3” MH and it’s outstanding. Best rod I’ve ever used.
@@FishhookTerry I ordered one after watching your videos brother than you !
What an awesome set up!! Great video, thanks for sharing. Couldn’t help but notice the hat #GoTigers
Hey man congrats on the baby.. just another fishing buddy
Thank you so much. I’m researching what I should do for babies first rod and reel haha
Haha

That's a sick setup!
Thanks man, it’s very nice and I think it’s going to help do some work on those bass for many years. Appreciate you watching.
@@FishhookTerry I've been looking at that rod for awhile now. No one has been doing reviews on it. I'm also torn between that reel and the Aldebaran.
Must be nice to have that reel already. Cant wait to get mine in.
You’re going to really enjoy yours, it’s a killer reel.
I just wish it would hurry up and get here, I bought the 2020 Shimano slx dc 70HG JDM and man let me tell you that thing is smooth as butter and cast so easy and far.
I just got my email that it shipped early this morning. Hell yeah.
Congrats on your new son. What rod model is it.
Thank you Ray! It’s the Shimano Poison Adrena 7’3” MH, it’s spectacular!
Does the reel have a line out clicker? Like the antares?
Lee Xiong when did Antares ever have a clicker
U talking about the Antares A?
@@pitpit8080 yes the Antares A, sorry should've made it more specific. I really like the line out clicker on the Antares A but its heavy.
Not on this model, would be cool though
Got a couple of HG Mets and love them.
A quick question for the people with the current model Poison Adrena rods. Anyone having the grip piece making a clicking noise? It’s driving me nuts.
Hey man, I haven’t experienced any issues with the rod or clicking. I wonder if it’s with your rod. I’ve had good luck with Shimano customer service, maybe send them a message and see if they can help. Good luck man

Is the DC version out yet?
Yes sir, the DC Metanium was released last year for $499
How well does it cast a weightless 5in senko?
Haven’t tried it yet, but with my experience with other Shimano’s and how easy this has been to dial in. I’d say it will throw one very well. I believe this reel is a very good all around performer that should handle really any bait you want...except large swimbaits.
@@FishhookTerry Thanks. I think I'm going to get one soon. A senko casts well from my curado dc too.
Birds Nest is how I roll 💯%, 2020 Metanium than just not for me.
Btw you look less enthusiastic than when you just got the reel in the package.
Thanks for video
Thank you for watching, means a lot!!
I love them I bought 4
Haha see, I told ya they were sweet! Congrats man, glad you love em, tight lines!!
The price doesn't care me, it's just out of my financial means. If I can't afford the "affordable health care" there's no way I can afford this reel.
Im from vietnam. I want by metanium how money Brother thanhk you
Man. That Metanium would look real damn good on my NRX lol. Gonna start saving up now!!
How is it even possible to cast it and then let the bait hit the water like that without even touching the spool
Similar model as bantam 18. May be little different in size spool.
Did you know mrs. terry is my teacher I am her students I go to Adams Elementary tell her I said hi
I use that Metanium with my ultimate poison 1611ML+. Match all jerk baits perfectly👍👍
Slx xt review would be cool
That would be a fun reel to test especially against the other SLX models. Thanks for the comment and watching Parker!!
@@FishhookTerry it's hard to find reviews that are not biased ased and that's what like about this channel. Love the reviews on this channel
Parker Lemmon that means a lot, you have no idea. Thank you!
Good 👍👍
I'm going to laugh so hard when he catches a fish demonstrating
We've got 50 more coming in on Monday...hit me up on Facebook y'all
I got cheaper reels that cast 1/2 onz heavy really easy like, try 2 grams or less lures. Luv the Curado K no prob its all in the mind exspensiv combo's really.

That sayed " its a great combo by any means, but not all that for the money.
The Dc's and Metanium guys go for the looks and the sound, but do the catch better 😂 anyways Congrat on your son, that is what money dont can buy his first fish just on the cheap rod.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for watching!!
At that price it shouldn't be birdnesting even wide open ,FAIl.
+Jose Gomez no reel is birdsnest proof. Just because you buy a Lamborghini over a Kia, doesn’t guarantee you can’t crash it.
@@FishhookTerry You got a point there .
Very nice baby
Too much talking
I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
To much bla bla bla!!!
+Patze El Tonno I know, right? Why would anyone talk in a review video?
