Description
The Shimano 2024 Metanium DC FA redefines versatility with a low-inertia MGL SPOOL III (φ34/19mm) delivering a balanced blend of lightness and casting extension. Its advanced DC BRAKE, powered by a microcomputer, adjusts brake force instantly by detecting spool rotation changes, enhancing control. Equipped with new firmware, it excels in long casts and minimizes backlash. The S3D structure and SILENT TUNE technology reduce vibration for smoother performance. Supported by X-SHIP and housed in a rigid CORESOLID BODY, the MICROMODULE gear winding ensures durability. Weighing just 175g, it is 15g lighter than its predecessor, finished with a sleek deep black exterior.
