Long Distance, Effortless Casting
The Metanium DC 70 A utilizes a refined I-DC5 digitally controlled braking system. This system allows the angler to fine tune its functionality based on the line, lure weight, and fishing conditions with the ability to adjust on the fly. Additionally, a new frontier of versatility known as Shimano's innovative MGL Spool III technology reaches a good balance of strength and lightness. By trimming weight in the correct areas spool inertia was able greatly reduced, aiding in reducing startup inertia to ultimately improve casting. The strength of the spool was maintained for heavy drag and line pressures, such as from punching or throwing a frog.
