2021 Antares DC looks very similar to 2016 model, very minor changes.
Re: 2021 Shimano Reels
Yeah different DC system, maybe line capacity... tough to buy in at that price tag. It's like the iPhone, have to skip a couple generations for any tangible benefits.

Let’s not talk about iPhones
I’m still holding on my 8plus don’t see a need to pay 1K on a phone to answer calls when I’d rather be fishing

Re: 2021 Shimano Reels
Yeah I was hoping for an updated aldebaran or maybe a throwback color scheme just something different. Nothing intrigues me too much but maybe that’s a good thing for my wallet
Re: 2021 Shimano Reels
Looks like a new SLX BFS is on the horizon. Clicky drag and the same type of magnetic brakes thats on the Alde BFS.

Re: 2021 Shimano Reels
Looks like the same 4x8 DC with 4 modes and 8 settings.
Weight is identical - 220g
The NEW 4X8 digital control brake, which adds 8 dial adjustments to the 4 modes of FL (Fluoro), P (PE), NM (Nylon), and X (Extreme Longcast), makes it more versatile than the previous model. It is now possible to make precise settings that match.

Was hoping for a Corsair dc
Re: 2021 Shimano Reels
The most recent generation Antares DC is equipped with i-DC5 ... the 4x8 is from a previous gen... Shimano may or may not have updated the settings but regardless, the price tag is growing increasingly difficult overlook.

Re: 2021 Shimano Reels
I am a bit surprised there isn't a new Metanium DC as opposed to the new Scorpion DC. If I'm not mistaken the current Metanium DC came out around two years or so prior to the previous iteration of the Scorpion DC, and Japan Tackle had the Metanium DCs for a screaming deal as well around the holidays.
Re: 2021 Shimano Reels
That’s what I wanted to see... either a Met or Bantam DC in that Core Solid frame... guess we have to wait for next year.
