★After 40 years since the appearance of the historic Bantam 100, the new Bantam has been reborn. By adopting a core solid body in which the level wind protector, side plate, and main frame are integrally molded, rattling during palming is eliminated.
We have achieved high rigidity that sets us apart from conventional low probe baits.
The dial case that supports the spool is made of forged aluminum and exposed from the body side, making it compact and transmitting vibrations directly to the palmed palm.
It also contributes to higher sensitivity. Shimano, who is at the forefront of metal processing technology, made full use of the latest technology and reconsidered the advantages of highly rigid aluminum material to create a modern bantam.
