"The new Antares employs innovative features to make it at the summit of Shimano bait casters. The most noticeable feature is micro module gear system, which has twice the number of gear teeth than previous models, to drastically reduce the gearing noise."
The above is copied from the description of the Antares HG on japantackle.com. From what I understand, the same gearing system is being put in the new Metanium reel that is coming out soon.
Those of you that have tried it out, are these claims accurate? Is this gearing system that much smoother and quieter?
I wonder if some of the next batch of USDM Shimano reels will have something similar..?
Just curious.
