SHIMANO 22 Bantam

The Bantam, which creates a new world of Strong Versatile, is equipped with the 150-size Magnum Light Spool III. The spool is larger and narrower than the previous model (φ35/19mm), improving compatibility with the centrifugal brake. The line guide has been moved slightly forward, resulting in a smooth casting feel reminiscent of the 19 Antares. The high-rigidity core solid body incorporates Infinity Drive, a first for a low-profile baitcaster. The significant reduction in rotational resistance allows for powerful and direct reeling, dramatically improving the ability to sense changes such as the bottom and water current resistance experienced by the lure. This is a reel that takes Strong Versatile to the next level.
