The Metanium MGL is the awesomest baitcaster I have ever owned. I have the XG model and MGL the XG is 8 5 to 1 mgl 6 to 2. I can cast a 1 10 ounce ned rig with 15 pound flurocarbon, used with my medium light smoke baitcasting rod it is one of my new favorite technique's. I love these reel's. I put my anything on it, I am not rich and I am still very happy I saved and waited to have enough money to buy theme. I also have the xg on a 7 foot ST. Croix legend xtreme, for your all around combo, Texas rig big worm's. Jig's, Spinnerbait's, Chatterbait's, Rattletrap's, can also Carolina some despite 7 foot and some crankbaiting it is awesome setup all around. I am only 5/7 so the over 7 footer's just get uncomfortable for me. But I have found with the Metanium and ST CROIX to be the top quality for high price to be true. I am not wealthy, just worked and waited to save up for my bass dream setup that is all. I say the quality is worth it!

I bought the Metanium MLG around July, 2018. Was so hard to hit the BUY key when I ordered it. Almost threw up!
Spooled it with Suffix 832 30# white and went fishing. On first cast I said out loud that felt good. Couple of cranks in and my thoughts went to What do I have to sell to buy another one of these? Still only have one but I use it more than any other rod/reel combo.
I have caught tons of bass, pickerel & northern pike on it. Largest Muskie I boated with it was 46.
Your review helped convince me to buy this reel. Was just in the Florida Keys and used it for in-Shore fishing. Worked great but it is a small spool and not a ton of line capacity. Problem is I just love casting this reel. One note: keep it lubed right to get maximum performance.
My measurement on if I like something is: Would I buy it again if I lost/broke it? This reel is awesome and I do not regret this purchase.

LakeForkGuy has actually been around fishing long enough to understand price. Whether you don't want to spend 400 or can't, there is an old adage everyone ought to remember: Things that only the wealthy can afford now, will be available to a much wider audience within just a few years. So, it used to be that only the wealthy had autos, now most people do; it used to be that only the wealthy had granite counter-tops in their homes, now many people do. .. flying on airlines, cell phones, going to college, nice vacations, the list is endless. You get the point: they develop these leading-edge products, they are expensive. .. but the 100 reel you are fishing with today is likely better than most anything out there from even a decade ago. These technologies are coming to you and fast, for lower prices if you decide to wait. So, the more the merrier. Brad

They all say their equipment is the best because they get them for free, example fluke master used to say ducket rods was the best now he's preaching fishing 13 is the greatest. You think he went out and bought 2000 of new reels and rods because they were so much better, no way, they said we will give you free equipment to use on your videos. Find what you like for the money you can afford and stop listening to all these you tubers about how great their equipment is. If they send me a new reel, just one, I'll tell you all it's the greatest thing since slice butter too.

Hey buddy i know this is an old post but i hope you see this comment. I am about to buy an aldabaren for a finesse set up but also considering this metanium. It will be for wrightless worms and light texas rigs mostly. Which do you prefer? You like the metanium better? Casts further? Breaks better?

I just bought the Metanium and it is by far the best reel I have ever owned. I have been fishing with it for just a couple months and I think its worth every penny. I put it on a new 7. 6 St Croix MH and it will cast a very long distance. Thanks for your videos.

I bought 8 of the 07' metanium MG reels from Japan and love them, they have the screw in spool piece that keeps stress off the gears and side plate, I'm not confident they will ever make another reel that good and solid.
