Shimano Bantam A Baitcasting Reels

Putting unprecedented winding power into the hands of bass anglers, the Shimano Bantam A Baitcasting Reels utilize cutting edge technologies to dominate the heaviest challenges on the lake. Upgraded for 2022, the new Bantam baitcaster has been equipped with Shimano's Infinity Drive technology to provide unsurpassed reeling force. Simply put, this reel is built for the power game. Returning from the previous generation is the single-piece aluminum CoreSolid Body that offers unwavering strength and rigidity. This highly rigid frame resists flex and contortion to preserve the alignment of the reel's internals, resulting in exceptional transmission of power throughout the life of the reel. These features, combined with powerful and smooth MicroModule gears allow anglers to approach the heaviest of applications with confidence. Hauling fish out of thick cover and burning in those big, heavy resistance baits is no challenge for the Bantam A. More than just a heavy-duty fish winch, the Bantam A features Shimano's MGL III Spool with a decreased startup inertia, enabling anglers to cast further while providing them with the added versatility to fish a variety of baits and presentations. By providing more control over the spool's inertia anglers can place baits with exactly where they want them with the utmost precision. A reel with a reputation for toughness just got even stronger and more versatile. Big fish hidden in thick weed mats don't stand a chance against the newest generation of Bantam.

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.
