Shimano metanium Mgl scratch

Hi guys, I recently noticed my metanium has a scratch that went through the coating on the top of the reel. Also there is a scratch what Ima assume is from the reel seat of my nrx on the bottom of the reel feet. I was wondering what should I do for the scratches should I use clear nail polish to sea...

Re: metanium mgl and chronarch mgl gear interchangeability

Thanks for the help everyone and I'm probably going to send my reel in to get it looked at. Something I did notice when I took the reel apart one more time was that I made sure to put the washers under the drag nut like this )( . This seemed to help the reel feel super smooth under load but still fe...

Re: metanium mgl and chronarch mgl gear interchangeability

My metanium mgl was purchased from Japan and is the jdm model. I purchased the jdm model for the shallower line capacity. Something I noticed is when the drag is barely on the gearing is smooth but as soon as I start to increase the drag the reel begins to feel a little rough. I don't know if the wa...

So I opened it up and greased it and I can feel every gear moving inside now. The metaniums gears almost have like a vibration to them and fe...

Re: Shimano expride vs new g loomis IMX

Wow I'm very surprised to hear that the orochi is more sensitive than the imx and the expride considering that the expride is more expensive and shimanos top dog if you don't count the jackall/shimano poison adrena. I did kind of think the imx and the expride blank were around the same considering t...

Shimano expride vs new g loomis IMX

I was just wondering how these 2 rods compare considering their around the same price and since 1 is made by g loomis which shimano owns and 1 shimano makes. How do they compare in crispness, weight, balance and of course sensitivity.
