Frequently asked questions about tuning the Shimano 24 Metanium DC
Which spool bearings fit the Shimano 24 Metanium DC?
The Shimano 24 Metanium DC uses spool bearings in 3x10x4 (both spool bearings the same size) (inner × outer × width in mm). You'll find matching tuning spool bearings in exactly this size on this page under the tuning parts.
Which bearing class do we recommend for the 24 Metanium DC?
For the Shimano 24 Metanium DC we recommend APEX, our highest tuning level. It gets the maximum casting distance and smoothness out of the reel and is especially worth it if you cast light lures or want every last bit of performance. The recommendation is based on how this reel is typically used.
