Bantam

The Bantam is an exceptionally robust casting reel. Its Coresolid body, made of ultra-resistant aluminum, offers remarkable rigidity that evokes the feel of a round reel, while maintaining the ergonomics and ease of use of a modern casting reel. A benchmark for over forty years, the Bantam is favored by lure anglers who seek reliable, uncompromising performance. Its powerful and refined design perfectly matches Shimano's mid-range or high-end rods, and it feels natural and comfortable in hand. Its casting performance is immediately impressive, as is its ability to effectively tame fish, a true hallmark of the Bantam.

This new version features a lightweight MGL III spool and an SVS Infinity system, enhanced by Silent Tune and Super Free Spool, allowing for safe long-distance casting of lures of all sizes. The casting brake can be adjusted instantly via the external dial to adapt to every situation. The Bantam stands out primarily for its retrieve and on-the-water performance. The combination of Micromodule and Infinity Drive ensures incredibly smooth rotation, even at high speeds, while the rigidity of the Coresolid body guarantees maximum power transmission between the handle and the fish. The smooth, powerful, and reliable Cross Carbon drag offers perfect control, even with braided line and in the most demanding conditions.
