Power. Precision. Performance: Three words characterizing the attitude behind the next generation of Bantam reels. Equipped with Shimano’s Infinity Drive technology to provide anglers with unsurpassed reeling force, engineers designed the new Bantam for the power game. Attack thick vegetation, flip big jigs, burn 1-ounce spinnerbaits, or scour the depths with large crankbaits without resistance or hesitation. Built upon a one-piece aluminum CoreSolid Body, the Bantam provides anglers a solid in-hand feel and the confidence they need during hard hooksets while delivering the power required to yank fish out of the thick stuff. Now featuring Shimano’s MGL Spool III with a decreased startup inertia, the Bantam enables anglers to cast further while providing them with the added versatility to fish a variety of baits and presentations. A reel with a reputation for toughness just got even stronger and more versatile: Don’t shy away from heavy cover, expansive weed mats or thick hydrilla step up your Power Game with the next generation of Bantam.
