Thoughts on choice?

15 Metanium DC or Daiwa Steez SV LTD (the chrome one). Now I can't make up my dang mind .

Steez LTD.

Mainly cause I want to fish it and it will make me make that trip down south faster.

It's a 105 but you can always throw in a 103 SV spool or a tuned MB IS spool to increase your capacity. All 3 of my Steez/MB reels are one in their own.

both...

both...

Just so you know, you are not helping. Lol

You neither. Lol.

The Steez 105XH will make heads turn and stare at your reel. Some might even drool ( ´ཫ` )

I say the LTD SV just because I have one will you need long casts?

What's it going on?

Both will hold more than enough line.

Also, I can't find any info on whether the Metanium DC has aluminum or brass gears. I am under the assumption that they are brass.

I haven't taken mine apart yet to verify, but based on the pictures Shimano use to show the micro module gearing they appear to be brass.

If you are using the reel for finesse or bottom contact I prefer the Steez. For moving baits I like the Met DC better. Both are awesome choices if you have the money.

(Full disclosure, I don't own that specific Steez, but rather an IS73 that I have used just about every spool option in. Strangely enough the T3 MX spool wowed me the most in testing though I was throwing Molix Lover which is pretty ideal for casting.)

Thanks for that input. I dont do much bottom contact here in S FL, mostly moving baits.
