Shimano Metanium DC 71 HG

Shimano Metanium DC 71 HG – The champ among the DC baitcasters

Buckle up, because here comes the flagship of the Shimano DC baitcaster series: the Metanium DC 71 HG! This masterpiece was designed for anglers who only want the best of the best. So if you think only good is enough, then grab this reel and get started!

Perfection down to the smallest detail

The Metanium DC 71 HG is bursting with state-of-the-art features that make anglers' hearts beat faster. Equipped with the brand new I-DC 5 braking system, it allows even beginners to make precise and long throws as if they were professionals. Imagine you cast your bait and the reel thinks for you – brilliant, right?

The I-DC 5 braking system – your new best friend

With two brake controllers, the I-DC 5 braking system takes care of the rotation speed of the spool. The internal controller is responsible for the line type, while the external controller provides you with four semi-automatic setting options. Don't feel like setting things up manually? No problem! The AUTO function does this for you and adapts itself. Particularly useful if you don't feel like messing around and want to get started straight away.

High-tech at its finest

The Metanium DC 71 HG has even more to offer: The extremely light Core Solid HAGANE body made of magnesium ensures that the reel fits perfectly in the hand and is also super robust. A 34mm MGL-III spool was installed in the 2024 model, which enables extremely relaxed casting distances and offers sufficient line capacity for FC lovers. The Magnumlite III spool made of ultra-duraluminum in combination with Silent Tune technology ensures that you make buttery-smooth casts without annoying vibrations.

Adaptability without limits

The Shimano Metanium DC 71 HG is a real all-round talent. With different gear ratios and the resulting line retractions, the reel is ideal for medium-light and medium-heavy fishing for our local predators. The selection of the cords – whether nylon, FC or PE – is carried out on the outside of the non-handle sideplate. In addition, the lever for the braking force is located there, so we have a 3×5 I-DC5 braking system.

Silky smooth cranking

Thanks to 10+1 high-quality ball bearings, Infinity Drive and the Micro Module gear, the crank glides so smoothly that you think you're cranking through clouds. And when the fish bites, the fighting drag with Cross Carbon Drag Washers shows what it can do - gentle, strong and reliable.
