Once I sell my jeep and buy a new truck I will for sure get some of these.

Hmm, $190 for the Brenious...

Whats the US equivalent of that reel? Is it a 50 size Chronarch with a shallow spool?

I'm pretty sure its a cheaper version of the Aldebaran BFS.

Update: I ordered the Metanium Friday afternoon and I received it today! Sad that I can get a package faster from Japan than from somewhere in the US!

This is basically a fast gear ratio chronarch/curado 50 with a new spool. The spool is design for small braided line. The spool is semi shallow but it's very narrow to prevent line digging. It'll be a technique specific reel with limited line capacity for you mono users. It has brass gears thougH

Haha idk but with the value of the yen and the fast shipping I'm gonna be ordering from Japan a lot in the future!

With cheaper shipping. One piece rod from Japan, $34, cardboard box w/3 3700 Plano's in it 3 states away, $31. I don't buy rod or reels stateside anymore. I'd like to, but $285 from Japan or $695 stateside, what would you do? Brian.
