Specialty Tackle came through today, for in the mail I received 2 Mg7's. A great V/Day gift from me to me. These reels have a great feel to them & are very light. They are going on a couple of custom rods built on Shikari SHX blanks to be used for fishing plastic. I plan on putting them thru their paces this week-end & post what I think next week

;D ;D ;D WOW!  ;D ;D ;D

Sounds GREAT!

The Metatanium DC tempts me daily. :-/

The DC version temps me also. A Shimano rep on another site said it was not all that we might think it is & did not think it would be coming here any time soon(Core DC). I have a couple of the Antares DC reels & they are way more than I expected. Once I figured out how to set it up properly it is amazing on how far you can cast with it. I have a 5.8:1  for Crank baits & a 7.0:1 for frogs. They do everything they claim for sure.  From what I understand the Metanium version will not have as many settings so I think I'll wait to see what the price difference is before I decide.

I really like my Mg7. It will outcast any other reel I own, including chronarch 100mg & sf, chronarch 50mg, curados, scorpion, tdz, alphas ito, fuego, revo, etc..

The Metanium Mg's do feel great eh!
