The real reason he left is still an enigma.jmb27 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 7:14 amSo, has he given up the Enigma rods that he helped design? I'm aware that he's used Met reels for a number of years, but he got a bunch of $ to leave Megabass for the start up rod company. I haven't used or kept up with Enigma rods, so just curious...
EDIT: found an article that says just that...

Re: New 2020 Shimano Metanium
When will pre-orders begin for the US model?
Re: New 2020 Shimano Metanium
At least I won't have to look at Stella - Enigma combos anymore.
I wonder if the Duo Japan guys made fun of his setup at lake Biwa...
Re: New 2020 Shimano Metanium
I pre-ordered mine and was told it will ship out mid February. I bought from American legacy Fishing, $377 with their 10% discount when you sign up for their newsletter.
Re: New 2020 Shimano Metanium
No way you're getting it in Feb... it's not even coming out in Japan until March. I haven't seen a US release date yet but I might have missed it.

I saw that they posted that shallow spool a few days ago, What I can't understand is whyy2k88 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2020 5:19 amThere's also a Yumeya shallow spool for the 20 Met.

they don't state the spool size!
From the information that we have the JDM 2020 Met is 70 size. I'm assuming the shallow spool option is a 50 or 30 size.
Re: New 2020 Shimano Metanium
Yep. I've enjoyed fishing with the '13 and MGL Met models. I'll own a few of the new ones...C'mon March...
