Quick take
A 2020 Shimano Metanium right-hand baitcaster with magnesium frame and Hagane gear for expert freshwater bass anglers seeking lightweight performance.
This is a right-hand-retrieve Shimano baitcasting reel from the 2020 model year, finished in black and gunmetal. It has a magnesium build and weighs about 0.18 kg, which keeps it light on the rod through a long day of casting. Spool capacities are marked for braid, from 40 lb line at 375 yards to 65 lb at 240 yards, so it suits anglers who run braided line.
