Get ready to level up your fishing game with the Shimano Bantam Baitcast Reel. This bad boy has been around for 40 years, proving itself as a durable and high-performance casting reel. And now, it’s back and better than ever.
With its cutting-edge Shimano JDM design and technology, the new Bantam sets the bar for strength and performance in a low-profile baitcaster reel. The Core Solid Body design is a game-changer, integrating the B-side, frame, and level wind guard into a single aluminum piece. This means unmatched strength and a solid feel that’s reminiscent of a round casting reel.
But don’t worry, the Bantam still has all the comfort and ergonomics of a low-profile reel. It’s the best of both worlds.
And let’s talk about casting distance. The new MGL III spool reduces spool inertia, giving you some serious casting power. Plus, the spool is larger and narrower, which means the SVS Infinity casting control is even more efficient. Say goodbye to those frustrating tangles and hello to smooth, precise casts.
Internally, the Bantam is a beast. It’s the first low-profile baitcaster to feature Shimano’s Infinity Drive reel technology, which means unparalleled durability. The Micro Module gearing ensures precise gear alignment and smoother winding, so you can focus on reeling in the big ones.
And let’s not forget about the drag. The Bantam is equipped with Shimano’s legendary Cross Carbon Drag, providing superior drag pressure and performance. You’ll have the control you need without sacrificing drag inertia.
