The technology that has been integrated into the Metanium DC reel is remarkable.

The Magnumlite III spool is constructed from Ultra Duraluminum and benefits from Silent Tune technology for bearing stabilization and vibration reduction during casts. The unwinding speed is controlled by the latest I-DC5 system. This allows you to adjust the casting brake according to the type of line you are using as well as the size of the lure. Whether they are large or thin and streamlined, you have formidable automatic control. This technology is exclusive to Shimano and improves casting performance to levels of precision rarely achieved. Finally, when you hook a fish, you can be sure that the new Cross Carbon drag washers will offer impressive performance like no other reel.
