15 Metanium dc HG gear swap

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

15 Metanium dc HG gear swap

Post by Blacktail 8541 » Fri Jun 05, 2020 2:40 pm

I have looked for hours for a straight answer on if there is a brass set of gears available for this real.
Can some one supply a part number or link to a gear set? If so it would be much appreciated.

Not sure, that is why I started the thread. I am hoping that someone who has done this will post and give the info that I am looking for.

Curado K gears swap with Met DC and MGL

Looks like you need the equivalent Curado gear and metanium pinion

Thanks for the reply, but that thread only addresses the 13 Met. Have you done this swap in the 15 DC?
Do the 13 and the 15 dc use the same gears?

Check your parts schematic against the Met. parts schematic on shimano's web site if the gear part numbers are the same your in business!, The non DC Met MGL and 13 use the same drive gear (Aluminum) but have different pinion gears (already brass) due to the model change in the spools. I switched both my MGL and 13 to the Curado K brass gear and a fresh pinion it's a nice upgrade!

This is a brand new reel with no issues at this time. Just want to get the new set and have them waiting if or when they are needed. It is also a JDM reel.
