Description
Marketed as the "jet-black neo-versatile," the 24METANIUM DC (24メタニウムDC) is an all-round baitcasting reel built around a low-inertia MGL Spool III sized 34/19mm for a balance of light start-up and cast distance.
Its DC brake runs the new I-DC5 firmware, sensing spool rotation and adjusting braking force instantly for longer casts with less backlash. A Core Solid Body gives the low-profile frame high rigidity without adding weight, and the Micro Module Gear is backed by X-SHIP for a smooth, precise retrieve. The external brake dial offers 3 line modes x 5 brake levels — 15 settings in total — adjustable without opening the side plate.
Sizes: 70, 71, 70HG, 71HG, 70XG, 71XG.

FAQ
Is the JDM version different from the US or AU release?
Often, yes. JDM releases can differ in spool depth, weight and handle options, and the Japanese lineup is usually broader — including sizes and models never exported.
Will spare spools from my current reel fit?
Spool compatibility is per generation, not per model name. Check the model year and size code against the spool before buying — the model code is listed on every reel.
What size should I choose?
As a ladder: 1000–2500 for finesse and light lines, 2500–4000 for general lure work, 4000 and up for heavy or salt duties. Match the size to your line and water first.
PG, HG or XG — what's the difference?
PG is a slow, powerful gear for cranking. HG is the all-round high gear. XG is the fastest retrieve for picking up slack quickly — higher speed trades away winding torque.
What warranty or service do imported reels have?
There is no local service centre for a JDM reel. Repairs and servicing go back to Japan, usually with a fee and a multi-week turnaround — weigh that before you buy.
Can I still get spares for older JDM-only models?
Often, yes — Japanese makers keep parts lists for older models, and some spares are stocked here. See the spares and custom parts collection, or ask before you order.
