Re: New Shower Blows?
Yes, new smaller size. I guess they are coming out with new patterns as well. Personally not sure if a smaller size is needed? I don't like going down to 2 hooks vs 3. Finally found it! It’s the Shorty and got the pattern. Can someone please post a photo of this new bait? Thanks!

Re: New 2020 Shimano Metanium

Re: New 2020 Shimano Metanium
When compared to the Bantam, the MET is a little longer and a little narrower. The line guide might be a little further forward based on what I could see having it in my hand. I didn't have a Bantam to compare side by side. Japan model will have a 70 size spool. The US model will have a 150 size sp...

Re: New 2020 Shimano Metanium
It's also up on Shimano's US website... I wish they would tell us more specifics on price point and availability and reel size!
Is it me or does this reel look larger on the US Shimano site?

Re: New 2020 Shimano Metanium
When the Bantam came out, people complained that the line guide was too close to the spool, affecting casting distance. Looking at this new Metanium, looks like the line guide is much closer to the spool compared to the 16 Met MGL. Makes me wondering if this new Met will actually outperform our old...

Re: New 2020 Shimano Metanium
It definitely looks more compact than the previous model Met. Spool also looks narrower... wondering if it's still a 150 size. It's a narrower spool. The article says he thinks it's the same spool as the new Antares which is only a 70 sized spool... I personally would prefer a 150 size. But I think...
