The Shimano 22 Bantam pushes strong versatile performance to new heights with a refined design. Its 150-size Magnumlite Spool III measures 35mm in diameter and 19mm wide, pairing with a repositioned line guide for a casting feel reminiscent of the 19 Antares. An Infinity Drive inside the CoreSolid Body drastically reduces rotational resistance, delivering powerful, direct retrieves and heightened sensitivity to bottom and water resistance.
