Product Description

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!

Shimano Bantam MGL A Features:
  • Coresolid Body: Integrates the B-Side Plate, levelwind guard, and frame into a solid one-piece construction, delivering an unprecedented feeling of rigidity and sensitivity.
  • Cross Carbon DragWider range of drag settings, Shimano's smoothest drag ever
  • Hagane BodyHigh rigidity and impact resistance
  • InfinityDrive: New main shaft supporting structure that improves winding torque and allows for incredibly smooth and light rotation
  • MGL Spool III: Narrow-shape design with a width of 19mm that reduces inertia by about 15% compared to the second generation MGL Spool with a width of 22mm. But even with reduced width, the MGL Spool III maintains line capacity with an outer diameter of 34mm, resulting in unparalleled casting performance
  • MicroModule Gear: Creates a smooth retrieve by utilizing smaller teeth to increase the number of contact points between the drive gear and pinion gear
  • S3D Spool Significantly reduced spool vibration gives unmatched smoothness
  • SVS Infinity Quick, precise braking adjustments to match any size lure
  • S A-RB Shielded bearings to prevent salt and sand corrosion
  • Silent Tune Reduced bearing vibration during high-speed rotation for a quieter, smoother cast every time
  • Super Free Spool Eliminates friction on the spool shaft
