In 2025, MUGEN enhanced the MetalStorm with reinforced components to better handle large species like kingfish, sharks, and stingrays — further improving its strength and resilience under extreme loads.
The Mugen MetalStorm 14000 is purpose-built for saltwater surfcasting it has earned recognition across New Zealand for its performance, build quality, and long-term durability. From Thames and Muriwai to the 90 Mile Beach, the MetalStorm has become a trusted reel for serious anglers.
The Worm Shaft Spool System enables precise vertical spool movement, allowing line to be laid evenly and tightly. This improves casting smoothness, reduces friction, and enhances distance performance.
The MCF (Metal Core Frame) is MUGEN’s proprietary reel body design. It combines a reinforced lightweight aluminum alloy structure with key stainless steel components to increase body rigidity. This construction enhances durability under high stress while maintaining corrosion resistance in saltwater environments.
With a max to 20kg drag, the Mugen MetalStorm 14000 is well-suited for snapper, kahawai, kingfish, and heavier species like shark and stingray.
From 2025, each MetalStorm 14000 includes an additional set of 3 carbon drag washers, giving anglers the flexibility to configure drag response based on species and technique.
The washers can be used independently or in combination, supporting both fast and moderate drag settings.
The reel features a Dual Transmission Shaft Mechanism within the main gear assembly. This dual-shaft system enhances internal gear stability, minimizes torque distortion under load, and ensures reliable performance of the oscillation and retrieval system.
The Dynamic balanced Rotor to minimize vibration during high-speed rotation. This ensures smooth operation and reduces wear on internal components over time.
The 2025 version includes a ceramic line roller bearing, offering up to 90% greater thermal conductivity than traditional metal rollers (rated up to 20–40 W/(m·K)).
This reduces heat and friction during line retrieval, extending the reel’s lifespan and providing smoother performance under heavy use.
The Mugen MetalStorm 14000 holds approximately 750 meters of 0.35mm / 60lb PE braid (e.g. Power Pro), offering ample line capacity for heavy setups. It’s also well-suited for drone fishing applications where range and load capacity are critical.
