SHIMANO METANIUM MGL 150 BAITCAST REEL

The Metanium Mgl Sets the Standard for Baitcasters In the Australian Market. This Flagship Baitcast Model Features A Magnesium Coresolid Body Which Is Designed to Deliver Unmatched Durability, Rigidity and Sensitivity.

Taking this to the next level is the addition of the Magnumlite Spool III which decreases spool inertia by 17%. To further enhance castability and control, the New SVS system has been included to provide a wider range of brake adjustment via the external dial.

The Micro Module main gear is made from a solid brass construction that ensures long-term durability and smoothness. Silent Tune technology reduces spool bearing vibration and improves casting performance when compared to conventional systems.

The Metanium MGL has been extensively tested by Shimano field testers for over 12 months in Australia’s top end region which is renowned for extreme saltwater conditions. This makes it ideal for anglers right around the country looking for a top tier baitcaster.

Product Technologies:

MICROMODULE II

Improved Micro Module gearing, making the reeling extreme smooth.

XSHIP

XShip is a combination of features that work together to create much greater efficiency. By positioning the pinion gear close to the center line of the large diameter drive gear, more power is transferred from the handle to the rotor. The pinion gear is also supported by two Shimano ARS roller bearings. This creates more stability.

HAGANE BODY

The HAGANE Body is produced from high rigidity aluminium or magnesium. This creates stiffness and impact resistance, while at the same time eliminating flexing of the body. The result is a rock-solid housing and support for the moving internal gearing and greater efficiency throughout the reel.

C14

C14 is an exclusive material created by the interfusion of carbon and polyamide. It is almost as strong as metal with the lightness of a composite. C14 is used for the body and rotor on many Shimano reels.

S3D SPOOL

Shimano’s S3D technology leads to significantly reduced spool vibration. By designing a balanced and uninform thin wall aluminum constructed spool, S3D creates an incredibly smooth feeling when casting and retrieving lures.

SILENT LINE

Silent Line is a mechanism that reduces the vibration of the bearings during high speed cranking, which in turn, makes cranking quieter and smoother.

SVS INFINITY

Shimano’s newest innovation in brake system technology, SVS Infinity provides easy to manage, consistent spool control and brake force. With brake weights that use inner friction against the raceway during the cast, SVS Infinity controls spool speed for precision casting especially when using lighter lures. The external adjustment knob provides for quick, precise adjustments for either the conditions or when you switch baits.

S ARB

Shimano S ARB bearings are high corrosion resistant ARS ball bearings with an extra shield for improved protection against sand, salt or dust.

SUPER FREE SPOOL

The Super Free bearing supported pinion gear system (SF) was designed to eliminate friction on the shaft during the cast. In standard baitcasting reels, when the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion gear is freed and can actually drag on the spool shaft, creating friction and limiting the length of the cast. With SF, the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing, and when the clutch is disengaged the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in precise alignment. The result is zero friction on the spool shaft for increased freespool.
