Yep, gunmetal shad color.

Best jerkbait ever made!

Obviously any reel will work and work fine, I am more so asking if there’s anything I am missing out on in that 300-350 range (JDM) or if I should stick with the tried and true Zillion

All good with a Zillion;  why confuse things by going shotgun.

All is good with a Zillion, why confuse matters by by going shotgun?

If that is what you’re going to throw I’d just go with the 100 met. I have that one also. The ideal behind the custom shallow spool along with the tuned braking was specifically for lighter line and lighter baits. However with 1/2 to 5/8 baits the Metanium 100 with its stock spool will throw that weight a country mile. The 24 Shimano Metanium 100 also has brass gearing along with the MGL3 spool. They are sweet as well. Mine is 7.0:1 . Buy it from Japan, save money. 

how does the Metanium 100 do with baits ranging from 1/4-3/4oz in you experience. I'm looking for a jerkbait reel that handles that range well +-.

I have three of them and they are great reels for what you want.
