Specifically engineered to be the lightest Shimano DC reel to date, the Metanium DC 70 A is shrouded in a one-piece CoreSolid magnesium frame, providing unparalleled durability and fatigue-free performance. An upgraded I-DC5 braking system allows anglers to fine-tune reel function based on line and lure combinations and fishing conditions, delivering improved accuracy and heightened casting control. Metanium DC 70 A features Shimano's innovative MGL Spool III technology, increasing casting performance by greatly reducing start-up inertia. HAGANE Body design provides strength and impact resistance while eliminating flex in the reel body, offering superior cranking power and efficiency when fighting fish. Shimano built the Metanium DC 70 A to accurately present a broad range of lures with precision and distance in any angling scenario.
