Re: 2024 Metanium DC

Just a little update, the reel came in a little early on Thursday. I went ahead and completed the brass gear swap from the 2020 Metanium MGL yesterday. Everything dropped in perfectly. A couple things I did notice though. The plastic retainer that holds the drive gear is different on the DC and the ...

Re: 2024 Metanium DC

Mine will be here Friday from Digitaka! I have a set of gears from the 2020 Metanium already sitting around too. I had planned to put them in the shallow edition but never ended up getting that one. I can't wait to do the swap. Also have a varial 100mm handle ready to go for it. It's going on my 72...

Re: 2024 Metanium DC

Does anybody know if the brass gears from the 2020 Metanium will fit in this new 24 DC? They do. easy swap and 2020 metanium gearsets are fairly cheap. If the reel happens to be brand new you can save some money by just swapping the main gear but if you used it for a while you wanna swap the entire...

Re: Shimano Expride A 7’3xh and 7’6xh

Depends on what you're using it for really. I have both and they are very similar but the 76xh seems a little bit stiffer to me like a flipping stick. Which is what I mainly use it for. The 73xh is a frog rod and has a slightly deeper bend. The 73xh also balances better. Both of mine have 22 Zillio...

Re: Have you preordered a mb p5 destroyer?

Man you are living the dream working for Megabass! It sounds like these new rods offer the versatility that I was looking for. I always loved the original FMJ but always wished it was a couple inches longer and now it is. I am also considering the Mark 56 after the Tackle Tour review. One of my favo...

Re: Have you preordered a mb p5 destroyer?

I pre-ordered the Jungle seven, BMG and the FMJ. Can't wait to get my grubby paws on them! I have all 3 and I have been very pleased with the versatility of the 3 of them. I think you will be happy with them all. How do you have them already?? Any chance you could give me a review on the jungle 7? ...

Daiwa spool swaps

Hey guys! I have a question about swapping spools between 2 reels. I really like the 18 Zillion HLC 1516 but want the spool from the 1520 18 Zillion HD for more line capacity. I'll be using the reel for swimbaits. Are the 2 interchangable or no? I've always been Shimano and am not too familiar with ...

Waiting on the left hand hd as well
The 8 gear lefty comes in stock pretty regularly. I'm waiting on the 7 gear myself.

Me too. Check Digitaka a few times a day.
Heads up, Digitaka and Japan lure shop just got them in! I ordered 2 myself.
