SHIMANO 24 Metanium DC 71HG

Neo-versatile in jet black. 9 years after the previous model, Metanium DC is reborn as a neo-versatile model.
The low-inertia MGL spool 3 uses 34/19mm, which has a good balance of light start-up and extension and is highly versatile.
The brake is equipped with a DC brake that instantly detects the rotation change of the spool using a microcomputer and adjusts the brake force.
Adopts NEW firmware that has excellent long-distance casting performance and anti-backlash performance. The S3D spool and silent tune, which reduce vibration, maximize casting performance.
In addition, the micro-module gear with smooth winding is firmly supported by X-SHIP.
The core solid body achieves both high rigidity and light weight. The exterior, which is finished in a high-quality, deep black base, stands out in the field and enhances the sense of ownership.

The low inertia MGL Spool III allows for long casts and low trajectories
The MGL Spool IIII, which shows a light start-up and contributes to further increasing the casting distance, is designed with a more versatile 34mm diameter. It is compatible with a wide range of lures, allowing you to cast far away or short cast with a low trajectory. The Metanium DC has been sublimated into an all-round model that provides a smooth and stable casting feel for a wide range of lures under a wide range of weight conditions.

Unparalleled ultra-high precision brake control. Intelligent DC "NEW I-DC5"
The intelligent DC, which instantly detects the rotation of the spool and controls the brake force, has further evolved. By renewing the firmware in the DC to match the installation of the MGL Spool III, it reduces line trouble while demonstrating even longer casting performance. It has evolved into a high-precision brake system with the same brake control ability as the DC brake installed in the 23 Antares DC MD.

Allows instant fine adjustment from the outside. New brake adjustment dial for improved operability
The mode dial, which was previously built inside the side plate, has evolved into a new brake adjustment dial unit that allows adjustment from the outside along with the brake dial. With 3 mode lines x 5-stage brakes = a total of 15 shifts, it allows instant fine adjustment without opening the side plate. It makes it easier to derive the best setting that matches the ever-changing field conditions and the lure used, bringing you closer to the next fish. For expert settings, when intentionally winding less fluorocarbon line to further reduce the inertia of the spool, you can choose N mode, which is less likely to apply brake force, rather than F mode, and more advanced settings are now possible with just the external dial.

DC's first tough core solid body. The lightest DC brake-equipped machine
DC's first high-rigidity core solid body is adopted. The main frame and level wind protector are integrally molded from metal material, providing a low profile yet strong body rigidity. It is less likely to bend even when fighting with a large fish or forcibly pulling a target out of cover, and you can experience a stable winding feel without making noise even under heavy loads. In addition to the compact body size that is easy to palm, its overwhelming lightness provides excellent operability in any situation.

Powerful and smooth winding. Equipped with micro module gear
Ultra-small precision micro module gear provides a silky winding feel. The vibration level is minimized and the number of meshing teeth is increased to provide even greater strength. In addition, the newly designed duralumin drive gear enables powerful winding and precise and smooth rotation. The light feeling has been further refined.
