Re: Chronarch MGL...
The Metanium has an Mg side plate. It is not CI4. The Aldebaran uses carbon side plates, maybe that is where the confusion happened. Stripped threads in the composite side plates isn't very common. It usually only happens if you overtighten the screw, or cross thread it slightly. Remember they are ...

Re: Chronarch MGL...
I appreciate all the response so far but as an owner of 2 Metanium, 4 Bantam and a few more, I know for sure that the screws go through the frame and into the side handle plate so the new Metanium DC based on that platform should not be any different and yes, all pictures show that to be the case. ...

Re: Chronarch MGL...
If the palm side plate and the star drag are Ci4 and the handle side plate stays magnesium, then I'm all in!

Chronarch MGL...
One of the screw holes in the handle side plate is now stripped for some reason (located at the bottom closest to the reel foot), I was just doing a regular maintenace and always been very careful with my reels when it comes down to tightening those screws specially when a screw is going into a plas...

Re: 2024 Metanium DC
A Shimano Pro staff mentioned Ci4+ side plates on US version, both side plates or just palming side plate?
Screws going into a handle side Ci4+ side plate is a big NO NO for me.

Re: Bearing oil
My apologies if this goes in a different forum. Wasn’t sure. Wondering what bearing oil are you using for Shimano reels. I used to use yellow rocket fuel but I’m running low. What’s the standard out there currently. Thanks. Bantam Oil dude! https://fishshop.shimano.com/collections/lubricants/produc...

Re: 2024 Releases/Rumors
Why did it took them almost half a decade to add dc brakes into a 2020 reel? Its not like they had to build a brand new frame and a digital braking system. I could be wrong on this, but this new Metanium DC looks like it's a bit wider than the non-DC version. Only makes sense since the 20 Metanium ...

Re: Bantam A Wrong Handle
I'm speaking from experience since I've bought quite a few 18 and 22 Bantam XG handle assembly from Shimano. I use them to upgrade the stock handles on all of my reels. 18 and 22 Bantam 150 and 150HG comes with 84MM handles. 18 and 22 Bantam XG comes with 90MM handles. Chronarch MGL 6 gear and 7 ge...
