Shimano Bantam MGL A Casting Reel

Reimagined to be the best Bantam in the long-standing family of reels born in 1977, the all-new Bantam MGL A Casting Reel is the culmination of engineering perfection from Shimano Fishing. Packed to the brim with Shimano's most advanced proprietary technologies, the Bantam A delivers peak performance with premium power and precision. Equipped with Shimano's InfinityDrive technology to provide anglers with unsurpassed reeling force, engineers designed the new Bantam for the power game when it comes to your everyday bass fishing needs. The Coresolid Body makes for a one-piece aluminum frame that provides a sturdy in-hand feel with incredible reeling force without resistance or hesitation from its MicroModule Gear system. An MGL III spool reduces start-up inertia by about 15% compared to the second generation MGL spool and results in unparalleled casting performance under the widest range of bait weight sizes. From cracking your favorite jerkbait over windblown points with light line to battling big largemouth on frogging or flipping setups, the new Shimano Bantam MGL A Casting Reel does it all with stylish performance to become one of the best all-around baitcasters on the market!
