Shimano Bantam 151 XG Left Hand

The Bantam is a low profile baitcasting reel with a serious attitude! The Coresolid body is made from ultra-strong aluminum and is remarkably stiff, giving the feel of a 'round' profile reel, with the ergonomic design and usability of a baitcaster. You will almost certainly know the name Bantam, it has been around for over 40 years and has a loyal following with lure anglers wanting no nonsense, solid performance. The reel looks clean and powerful, pairs easily with just about any mid or high end Shimano rod and fits smoothly in the hand making palming very easy and comfortable. You will definitely notice the great casting performance and you will definitely be impressed by the powerful fishing game performance that is the hallmark of the Bantam name. The latest version of the Bantam benefits from a lightweight MGL III spool and SVS Infinity inhibition, further enhanced by Silent Tune and Super Free Spool. Lures of virtually any size can be safely launched over remarkable distances and breaking can be adjusted on the fly using the external dial to accommodate different lure sizes or conditions. But it's the retrieving and fishing performance where the Bantam really excels. The combination of Micromodule Gear and Infinity Drive provides super smooth directness, even when cranking at high speeds, and when combined with the stiffness of the Coresolid Body, maximum power can be transferred from the handle to the fish when it's really hot. And don't worry about the lack of stretch when using braided line. The Cross Carbon Drag ensures that the drag is smooth, powerful and always reliable, even when you ask the most demanding questions.
