Metanium DC

The flagship of Shimano!

The Metanium DC is the flagship among the DC Baitcasters of Shimano. Equipped with Shimano´s latest I-DC5 Intelligent Digital Control braking system, the latest Hagane technology, and advanced spool design, it offers top performance for Baitcast fans with the highest demands.

The visually appealing Metanium DC is packed with Shimano`s latest technology and is referred to by many professional anglers as the gold standard. Anyone looking for a Baitcaster that has been developed and constructed without any compromise will undoubtedly choose the Matanium DC immediately.

It is perfectly suited for casting a wide variety of lures in a casting weight range of 5 g - 30 g and therefore fits well on Shimano spinning rods of the ML, M, and MH classes. Thanks to the digital braking system from Shimano, it not only allows for excellent casting distances but also makes casting with a Baitcaster an absolute breeze.

It is remarkable how much technology has been packed into the Metanium DC. The extremely lightweight Core Solid HAGANE Body made of magnesium virtually fuses with the hand and perfectly balances even the highest quality rods. Inside the reel body, there are 10+1 extremely high-quality ball bearings, Infinity Drive, a MicroModule Gear, and X-SHIP.

This results in a silky smooth and simultaneously powerful cranking performance that is only found in Shimano`s best reels. The advanced Magnumlite III spool is made of Ultra-Duraluminium and features Silent Tune technology to stabilize the bearings and reduce vibrations.

Casting is controlled by the state-of-the-art I-DC5 system. During the cast, the state-of-the-art I-DC5 system controls the rotation speed of the spool. I-DC5 features 2 brake controllers. With the internal brake controller, the line type is set. The external brake controller has 4 semi-automatic settings, which are selected depending on the size of the lure.

Additionally, there is an "Auto" function, where the DC system autonomously decides on the optimal settings of the spool brake. This makes casting an absolute breeze even for Baitcast beginners.

This technology is exclusively available at Shimano and it improves the casting performance with astonishing precision. In the fight, the new Cross Carbon Drag Washers impress across the board and leave nothing to be desired.
