Features:

  • The Shimano Bantam MGL A Baitcasting Reel is the 2022 version of the famous lightweight aluminum Shimano Bantam baitcasting reel.
  • The Bantam MGL A still has the one-piece Hagane construction with core-solid materials (no welding multiple pieces together) which gives you more torque and power. The aluminum body and components keep weight down.
  • The Bantam MGL A is upgraded to add the Shimano Infinity Drive technology, which features gearing that keeps your reeling smooth and consistent, keeping torque down when under load from a heavy fish.
  • The Bantam MGL A is also equipped with the MGL Spool (Magnum Light), which continues to cut out unnecessary material, streamlining the reel to remove weight but retain strength.
  • The Shimano Bantam MGL A has a tougher cross-carbon drag made with premium materials giving you more drag options and smoother drag performance, keeping you in control.

Awesome reel

I already own the Metanium HG and the new 2022 Bantam in my opinion is equally as good. Both are equally as smooth and cast the same in my opinion.
