About this piece
The Shimano 22 Bantam XG (left-hand) is a baitcasting reel designed for powerful and direct retrieval. It features the new Magnum Light Spool III (35mm diameter, 19mm width) with a larger and narrower profile than the previous model, enhancing centrifugal brake compatibility. The Infinity Drive, a first for low-profile baitcasters, significantly reduces rotational resistance for improved sensitivity to bottom contact and water flow.
