2015 Shimano Aldebaran

[Alphahawk]

Congrats on your purchase. I am through...for a little while. Although JPAngler has a recent stock of Megabass Shoreluck SLL series. They are selling them at 33,250 Yen vs the other sites you can find them on from 40,000 up to 50,000 Yen. I have one in the solid tip version but would like one with tubular tip. Plus these rods would make a very special gift for father...son......these rods have a custom made look with the thread wrapping and marbling on the handle. Plus they are an exceptional UL rod. If they are still there 1st April may have to get one...or two....LOL.

I just handled my first Metatanium yesterday, and man that's a sweet reel.

That's great to hear. What size and type baits does it excel in?

In that price it would be embarrassing if it did not excel with all baits.

With the right rod it can throw down to 1/8th oz with workable distance. The stock spool is very light so the casting range is huge. Then it comes with extra brakes that give less braking and even longer casts. It blew me away when I fished it.
