all these issues with the news SVS reels make me wonder if I should get a classic style Calcutta 200GTB (the souped up model of the B series) for my new E6X mag bass rod. Calcuttas still have the older VBS system. seems to me the new breaking design either has lots of issues or is very high maintai...

In the picture of the 2016 Antares it shows MGL Spool. I would think that is also the same deal with the Metanium MGL. My Metanium with SVS is the best caster of any reel I own. I have also heard great things about the DC version. I highly doubt that Shimano would feel the need to come out with a m...

The mag dial looks the same to me.

Souichi's facebook page also shows a picture of a Metanium MGL.

10/150? That doesn't seem right.

I wonder if is smaller than the 200 or does it just have a shallower spool.

Im probably going to get the fuego for my new crank rod. More bearings, lighter weight and better spool. Twing is pretty much a gimmick that made their reels uncomfortable to palm and killed the zillion line. There is a reason the steez pixy and sv105 has typical line guide. The Fuego might be unco...

I see Tackle Warehouse have the SV 103's in stock now.

Has anybody bought the new Fuego yet and compared it to the Tatula. I am curious if the Tatula with the t-wing will outcast the Fuego with the regular line guide. Maybe the TT guys will do a comparison test.

I tried telling you guys the spool would not fit a few months ago but no one really believed me.

There is definantely 2 different reels in the video. One has 3D brake and one looks to have the regular Magforce Brake dial. It looks to me like one of the reels has part of the mag brake dial covered up kind of like the T3 but that doesn't mean it has 3D braking. The other reels could just be curr...

Sorry I'm late getting back to the party. IMHO, there's really no need for a DC reel. If a person is starting out learning how to cast, they don't need a DC. If your an experienced angler, you don't need a DC. I bought one in order to find out for myself if the reel was night and day better than my...
