I've got one on its way from Digitaka, it's my first time buying from them and I'm a little bit excited about the whole thing!?

Hell, it might even be a pretty bad thing if I become addicted to buying from them and once my wife finds out...Yikes!!!?

 

But it's a good thing personally for a lot of reason IMHO!?

 

I already own a USDM 20 Metanium, anyone own a JDM 23 Metanium 100? It should be almost identical except for the spool size

and handle length right?

Oh well I always liked Ol' Vader anyway!?

You need to start throwing in a few JDM baits/line for peak package excitement ?

Check this out!

Ordered the reel at DIGITAKA Sunday evening CST 8-6-23.

Delivered today a little before 4 PM CST.

I was like! LOL!

 

That's about average for delivery from my experience.

and still faster and cheaper than buying here at home.

Oh yeah man.   I order from JLS and the speed a reel arrives to Canada is mind blowing.   72hrs from ordering online to my door.    For the heck of it I ordered a reel from cabelas the same time and it took 10 days from 3 provinces over.   

The JDM Met 20s have 100 size spools too.  I wonder what else is different.

Looks like both JDM 20 and 23 Metanium have the same spool size but the 23 slightly holds more line according to Shimano Japan website. I'm a little confused.

 

I always thought that 20 JDM Metanium is a 70 size spool, Maybe 23 has a little bit deeper spool?

 

they have a Bantam waiting for me to pull the trigger.
