PitchinJigz reply :
I saw a lot of this on another forum, but I haven't seen an all-encompassing post on this site for it. 2016 looks to be a huge year for Shimano, and a handful of Hagane styled reels will be coming out. Here's a list with pictures.
-Shimano Curado 70
-Shimano Scorpion 70
-Shimano Aldebaran BFS
-Shimano Stille 100
-Shimano Casitas 100
-Shimano Metanium MGL
-Shimano Caenan 150
-Shimano Antares DC
-Shimano Bantam Rods

That scorpion...
wonder what the point if the canen is....thought the casitas took its spot . You're looking at maybe a 20$ price difference?
Jrob78 reply :
Wow!!
That's all I got.

I agree. Plus they're both 150 sizes so there's no difference in line capacity. I'm still intrigued by the new Caenan because it looks sooo much cooler than the last one. The maroon and silver was ugly!

Is that a new bantam Rod? That's looks awesome
zell_pop1 reply :
Why not call it a curado 100 like the b&d series?

Yep...they're bringing the name back.
HoosierHawgs reply :
Yep, looks like they decided to bring back the Bantam name... Nice little marketing ploy
robster80 reply :
definitely putting that Scorpion on my buy list
Jon G reply :
My lord that Scorpion is beautiful. Definitely going to have to get that reel although I'm not the biggest 50 size fan.
Does the new Metanium MGL mean that the 2013 Metaniums will be discontinued? If so I may pick up a couple if they go on sale.
Cgrinder reply :
Met MGL for me depending on performance. The Ant DC looks good but probably really pricey.
kickerfish1 reply :
Really interested in the Antares DC depending upon weight and size of the frame. Also I prefer the looks of that Metanium in all silver over the 13 Met. And that Bantam rod looks great. Paired with that new Metanium would be pretty slick looking.
I am 50/50 on the Scorpion and Curado I in the 70 size. Kind of tired of red and black but it always looks good together.
Shimano is setting the bar high with a diverse lineup of reels, frames, etc.
bootytrain reply :
Theres already videos on the Bantam rod and lure line up on youtube as well as the Met MGL. It has a new spool design and new SVS infinity design like the one used in the Casitas. In the video the guy was casting a long ways with the MGL. Heres a pic of the spool

Does anybody know if they are releasing any more rods?

They have a new Poison Glorious lineup being released. The Antares DC is also being released in low and high gear models.

Wish they would expand the Ultima lineup...

So 70 is the new 50 size reels?
Scorpion looks sweet, but thankfully, I'm
not tempted!!! 
Take THAT BaitMonkey!

Any chance they would bring the Ultima or Poison Glorious lines to the States? Haven't bought a Shimano rod since the Gen 1 Cumara (still have 4 of these) and Cumulus. Nothing they have sold in the US has really interested me.

I'll bet the Ultima would be over $700 if it was sold over here.
kickerfish1 reply :
That isn't the news I wanted to hear! I am in the market for roughly 3 new rods. Decided to go custom for one but I am waiting on this Bantam rod to see if it could be a worthy option.

Not unless Shimano brings something stateside that I actually like
I have the spinning 7'2 ML Fast and and 7'2 Med XF drop shot rods. In the casting I have the 7'2 Med XF and 7'2 MH XF. Right now they aren't going anywhere!

Can you link to these videos?

I believe this link will help with the rod.
Hogsticker reply :
I think Shimano is also releasing some new cranking rods in the Zodias line. I saw Dave Mercer using some in his facts of fishing show this morning. Maybe that's already been discussed, not sure. I noticed they have an Eva lick nut rather than the medal. Glass and graphite composite construction with a nice deep flex.

Just pre-ordered a Curado 70HG and Curado 70XG! Supposed to ship out the week of the Classic!

bassbassontherange reply :
That's a sick lineup. Shimano has upped their game. It's going to be interesting to see what the other players do to keep pace.
fishballer06 reply :
What's the details on that Stille? It's got the most of my attention.
PS. I don't think I can resist that Scorpion 71.

Bluebasser86 reply :
I wonder why there's no 70XG Scorpion? Like that high gear ratio but I can't even begin to do left hand retrieve.

I emailed Jun yesterday specifically about the 70XG and he said Shimano doesn't list it as "available" to vendors yet - so it's not listed on their site, yet. They will list it as soon as Shimano updates the other gear ratio status. I feel you though, trying a left hand retrieve would probably be worse than me trying to brush my teeth with my left hand.
I pre-ordered a 70 HG just because.

It's either this or the Met DC for me. Waiting to hear more details. Will be used for t-rigs and jigs under 3/8oz.

I think Shimano will take 2016 for sure. We'll see in 2017. Right now, Daiwa is still riding the hype of T Wing and we never really see a ton of innovation from Doyo brands. But that's just my opinion, only time will tell.

Apparently it's like a 100 size Aldebaran. Interesting for sure.

Tackle Trap. Brian said they couldn't advertise it but can pre-order as many as anyone wants.

What does bantam mean? I have heard of older bantam citica and curado a but have no clue what bantam means
Bluebasser86 reply :

It's a small, aggressive chicken, at least that's what it means to me.
Probably referring to the weight though as in bantamweight.

Like Bantam Weight in boxing.

Maybe we need to start calling the old Bantam reels "aggressive chickens." Has a ring to it. 
Maico1 reply :
After looking around I am thinking ballpark for the Antares DC ..512 +/- and the Aldebaran BFS...290 +/- plus shipping for both. That is based on 76,000 yen (Antares) and 46,000 yen (Aldebaran) .

I think I read on one of the links that if you pre-order, they'd start shipping in May 
Maico1 reply :
According to that Article above ..Antares DC April Right Hand and June for Left.....

Not much of a pre-order guy. Thanks for the headsup. The Met MGL and Antares DC have my attention right now.
OnthePotomac reply :
I believe the Curado 70 replaces the Curado 50E, which became the Chronarch 50E.

The MGL and the Bantams <3 <3 <3

My understanding is it will offered in a 5.8 and an 8.0 gear ratio....

The only ones I can assume are coming to the USDM right away are the Curado 70, Casitas 100, and Caenan 150.
