Has anyone swapped gears in their 2020 Metanium yet? I got an 8:1 because one popped up and I jumped on it a while back, but I wanted a 7:1 the whole time. I’m considering buying a set of 7:1 gears and just swapping them out, as well as carbontex washers. I’d also have the pro of having a larger handle on the reel. That’s why I ordered an 8:1 on my Metanium DC as well, because I anticipate to change the gears on it after a few months and the handle on the 6:1 and 7:1 are just too small.

I got a P5 Super Destroyer and I love it. It’s a true, do-everything high end rod. I paired it with a Metanium DC and it’s so much fun to fish. If the 7’2” length of the Xbites doesn’t bother you, and you can find one, pick it up while you can. It is a very versatile rod as well. Pair that up with an Aldebaran, and with the rod, reel, and line, the whole deal will be well under 10 ounces. I’m a believer in the new P5 lineup of rods and am looking to get a Tequila Baccarac next!
