Shimano Bantam MGL

40 years ago, Shimano released its first baitcast reel, Bantam, to the market. This began what is now a legacy of durable and high-performance casting reels. The 2018 Bantam MGL establishes a new benchmark for rigidity. The new CoreSolid Body design combines multiple parts and integrates the B-side, frame, and levelwind guard into a single aluminum piece with unmatched solidity. This full aluminum construction will give anglers the rigid feeling of a round reel, with the ergonomics and comfort of a low profile reel. MGL Spool reduces spool inertia to improve casting distance and ease pitching and flipping.

Bantam MGL Features:

• Coresolid Body:  Solid one-piece construction for unprecedented rigidity and sensitivity
• Cross Carbon Drag:  Wider range of drag settings, Shimano's smoothest drag ever
• Hagane Body:  High rigidity and impact resistance
