SHIMANO 23 Metanium 100HG

Equipped with strong core solid body & low inertia magnum light spool. A new frontier of Versatile that realizes strength, lightness and goodness. Equipped with a lightweight, highly operability, and a wide range of defense -based all -rounders, a magnesium -integrated core solid body, and a magnum light spool 3 that realizes light rising and good growth. It improves light operability and adaptation to tough fishing, allows you to do both winding, shooting and light rigs. Furthermore, while keeping the light weight as it is, it is equipped with an ultra high strength brass drive gear and polished the toughness.

Its sharp operability can be used in any situation
What makes the Metanium a Metanium is its body size and shape that are easy for anyone to handle, its lightness that makes it easy to use, its light and sharp operability, and its high versatility. In the new Metanium, the drive gear has been changed from aluminum to ultra-high strength brass in pursuit of even greater toughness. Combined with the adoption of a core solid body, it has improved its adaptability to "strong fishing" compared to previous models, but while the rigidity has been increased, the weight is the same as the previous model. Moreover, the size has been made more compact, so the well-known high operability has become even sharper. The new Metanium has dramatically improved its capabilities as an all-rounder. It is a machine that meets the diverse techniques of anglers who use it in various situations.

An ultra-thin spool that thoroughly pursues low inertia. It can be aimed at will as if it is crawling on the surface of the water
MAGNUMLITE SPOOL II [Magnum Light Spool III] The first generation Magnum Light Spool has evolved into the second generation Magnum Light Spool, and the latest Magnum Light Spool III is now available as the third generation. By making the spool even thinner, we have achieved a lower inertia than before without compromising durability. Furthermore, the spool installed on the Antares Metanium has an outer diameter of 34mm and a narrow shape of 19mm in width, achieving a lower inertia of approximately 15% compared to the second generation Magnum Light Spool. In addition to long-distance casting performance, it also achieves a lighter start-up that far exceeds the previous model, an exhilarating casting feel that extends endlessly, and a significant improvement in trouble avoidance performance.

A metal one-piece molded body that combines high rigidity and compact size.
CORESOLID BODY
The level wind protector and side plate, which are usually made separately from the frame, are molded into one piece from metal. It boasts high rigidity and a compact body size that is easy to palm. The strong body does not make any noise even under heavy loads, and is less likely to bend when fighting with a large fish or forcibly pulling a fish out of the cover, achieving a stable winding feel. This is a new, highly reliable body structure that allows you to fight with power with peace of mind.
