An upgraded I-DC5 braking system allows anglers to fine-tune reel function based on line and lure combinations and fishing conditions, delivering improved accuracy and heightened casting control. Metanium DC 70 A features Shimano's innovative MGL Spool III technology, increasing casting performance by greatly reducing start-up inertia. HAGANE Body design provides strength and impact resistance while eliminating flex in the reel body, offering superior cranking power and efficiency when fighting fish. Shimano built the Metanium DC 70 A to accurately present a broad range of lures with precision and distance in any angling scenario.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShimano's lightest DC reel to date, the magnesium-bodied Metanium DC 70 offers anglers pinnacle performance through digital control.

By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This allows the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit of X-Ship technology is that friction between the spool shaft and gear are eliminated. This further benefits anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"morecontent\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuper Free Spool - \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSuper Free Spool eliminates friction on the spool shaft during the cast. Standard baitcasting reels are constructed in a way that when the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion gear is freed and can actually drag on the spool shaft. This creates friction that can limit the length of a cast. But baitcasting reels with Super Free Spool are constructed so that the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing. When the clutch is disengaged in preparation for a cast, the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in perfect alignment. The result: zero friction is placed upon the spool shaft and enhances casting performance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"morecontent\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCI4+ Baircasting - \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCI4 is a Shimano original material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material.

I-DC5 has two sets of dial adjustments. With the inside dial, anglers can select the type of fishing line being used: Nylon Monofilament (N), Fluorocarbon (F) or Braided Line (PE). The outside dial adjustment is based on the lure type: 1. Big Lures (5\/8 to 1 oz) with low air resistance, 2. Medium Lures (3\/8 to 3\/4 oz), 3. Small Lures (1\/4 to 7\/16 oz) with high air resistance or 4. Finesse Lures (3\/16 to 1\/4 oz). The final setting is the ‘AUTO’ function (A), letting the onboard DC decide the optimal brake setting. The I-DC5 braking system uses more magnets to assist braking compared to the previous systems. With the addition of a ring magnet, brake force can be applied more evenly and increases the maximum spool revolution by 12% at the start of a cast.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"morecontent\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eS3D Spool - \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eS3D technology leads to significantly reduced spool vibration.
