Just a quick checked on first two websites, I found bantam MGL in stock so they are not all sold out.

And for 2020 Met I also found it in USA for 360 not 460 as you mentioned. I’m not even gonna mention, that you can find 2020 Met under 300 super easily.

Oh and I’d bet you all my rods are under 200 but I can fish head to head with average joe like you who use the most super sensitive high end rod. 

these are real facts.

Wow, man I'd love to know what online company is selling Metanium reels for $360 and not $419.99 with tax giving you just about $456 and change.

Its a secret 

I bet you can't find a Bantam! Been trolling Asian Portal for months!

Looks like only the 6.2:1 and 5.5:1 models are left and very little at that.

Yep, no use for a 5 or 6. Jigs and worms on that reel. Moving baits belong on Daiwas. 

Digitaka had all of them in stock a few days ago.

I bought one from them a month or so back. Ended up right around $300

Imagine financing a reel. Me thinks if you need to do that you probably should be spending the money on something else. 

What's it to you?

I finally received my DC705CB, paired with the bantam it throws my 1/8 oz cranks fine on 14# fluoro. It needs a little more thumbing than my 101 conquest did but am pleased so far. Nice little reel, as smooth as I'd hoped for. I'll have to try a metanium next season.
