The Shimano Bantam MGL 150 is a premium low-profile baitcasting reel built for anglers who want exceptional rigidity, smooth power and dependable casting performance. Designed around Shimano's CoreSolid Body concept, the Bantam combines the frame, B-side and levelwind guard into an extremely rigid aluminum construction that provides a solid, connected feel when retrieving lures and fighting big bass.
At the heart of the Bantam is Shimano's MGL Spool, engineered to reduce spool inertia and improve casting performance. The lightweight spool starts quickly, helping anglers achieve greater casting distance and improved control with a wide variety of bass fishing lures.
Shimano's SVS Infinity braking system provides precise external brake adjustment, allowing anglers to quickly fine-tune casting performance as lure weights, wind conditions and fishing techniques change.
The rigid body construction helps keep the internal gearing properly aligned under load, providing smooth and powerful retrieves when fishing techniques such as crankbaits, spinnerbaits, jigs and Texas rigs.
