So I think I’ve settle on trying s metanium mgl finally. I purchased 2 new rods last weekend a glx 852c vs a glx 894c. I need to outfit these rods with reels and decided to get another chronarch mgl as it’s my favorite reel I own, but figured I should try a metanium that will be the other. But would the chronarch or metanium fit better with the 852c for throwing weightless senkos, shakey heads weightless flukes and 1/8-3/16 finesse jigs, or for the 894c for throwing 3/8-1/2 oz jigs with trailers, t-rigs and such?

Shouldn't matter which one you use, both have are SVS with the MGL spools and both will work great for weightless lures.  

Thanks, just wasn’t sure if one might be a bit more suited for one or the other particular styles of fishing? Cause before I get a metanium I just wanted to figure what gear ratio to get. If I buy the metanium for the jigs then I’m debating on trying a 8.5:1 or if the 7.4:1 is enough.

That would be personal preference, both speeds would be well suited for jig fishing as your really just dragging and reeling in slack, though when I throw wacky senkos or weightless t rigs, I like to pop and crawl them so a 7.4:1 may be better.  But totally up to you.  My NRX 852c is on a 7.1:1.  Either way enjoy man.  Sounds like you've got some fun ahead of you.

Awesome! Well the chronarch mgl I bought today is a 7.1:1 so maybe I’ll throw that on the 852 for the senkos and such and look into the metanium for 894
