I would probably post this in fishing chit chat. You will get more responses there I think. I have never had a metaloid. I like my speedmaster 8ii a lot so far. Let’s see if thr Fathom over takes it.

Ditched the Metaloid as it’s discontinued. I had fished it with my Andros and prone to slipping drag issues. If you wanna go Okuma route, grab the CAVALLA instead. Machined aluminum frame plus better drag curve and great price point.

Speedmaster is a good choice too if you like Shimano. I have a SPM 12II and no issue so far.
