How do you like your Bantam MgL?

[Real Pudd legend]

Curious to see thought about your experience with this reel and what you are using it for. How’s the size in hand and castability/ retrieve .

thanks in advance !

I bought mine a few weeks ago but havent spooled it up yet. Its a very solid feeling reel with the right amount of weight in hand. It feels good in your hand, too. A little smaller then a Metanium '13.

Best reel shimano has kicked out in a very long time imo. I had 5 met mgl and have replaced those with bantams. I love mine.

It's an 11!

I fell in the rut for a second of the line guide is to close to the spool but honestly after using it I can cast as far as I need to cast for most fishing I now have 5 if them. Really is the most sturdy reel I have used

Great reel. I’ve only used it a few times and use it for spooks and jerkbaits. Casts great, retrieve is smooth as a knife through butter and it’s as solid as my CQ’s. The integration of the non handle side plate and the main frame is pretty slick too!

I was hoping I wouldn’t like it as much as I do because now I want more!

As for size? It’s smaller than the Chronarch CI4+ and nowhere near as long as the Metanium.

This is making me want one and I just switched from Shimano to Daiwa

No problem having the best of both worlds lol
