He’s now a full Shimano/G Loomis Pro
So, 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...
https://michianaoutdoorsnews.com/gear/f ... -pro-staff
The real reason he left is still an enigma.

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...

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.

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.

When you click the [CC] icon, it enables subtitles, then tells you to change settings, click the gear icon. From there you can click Subtitles/CC > Auto-Translate > English.
Thanks for the video marin12!

There's also a Yumeya shallow spool for the 20 Met.

I saw that they posted that shallow spool a few days ago, What I can't understand is why
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.
