Pure and simple, the Shimano® Metanium MGL Casting Reel is built for effortless operation. Its super-lightweight, magnesium-alloy Hagane frame has found its ideal partner in the Shimano MagnumLite spool; made of a revolutionary aluminum that's 30% lighter than CI4 carbon and supported by Super Free technology, this spool consistently lengthens casting distance by a full 20%. Instead of the standard 6-brake cast control, the Metanium MGL introduces the 4-brake SVS Infinity system, which provides infinite adjustment via an external dial. Retrieves are simply amazing, utterly silent and silky-smooth, thanks to advanced Micro-Module Gearing, which doubles the number of gear teeth in play; Silent Tune; Shimano's acclaimed X-Ship technology; and a sweet 10+1 S-ARB ball-bearing system. With its star-click drag rated at up to 11 lbs. of Max Drag, balanced 84 mm handle, extreme low profile design, and 1-touch removable sideplate, the Shimano Metanium MGL is a joy to fish. For fresh- or saltwater.
