Built Like a Tank. Casts Like a Dream.
The Shimano Bantam MGL A Casting Reel delivers compact, low-profile strength with the solid feel of a round reel. Designed around Shimano’s one-piece CoreSolid aluminum frame, this reel offers unmatched rigidity and strength, reducing flex under load and increasing cranking efficiency.
The MGL III (MagnumLite) spool reduces start-up inertia, providing effortless, long-distance casts with improved accuracy—even with lighter baits. Inside, MicroModule Gearing and X-Ship technology create a buttery-smooth retrieve that holds up under pressure.
Perfect for jigs, chatterbaits, Texas rigs, or any technique where torque and control are critical, the Bantam MGL A is a powerhouse reel that fits comfortably in your palm.
