Shimano's new Bantam 151 A is a low profile baitcasting reel. The Coresolid body is made of ultra-strong aluminum and has remarkable stiffness, giving the safe feel of a "round" profile reel, with the ergonomic design and usability of a baitcaster. The Bantam 151 reel has a clean and powerful look, is easy to pair with any mid- or high-end Shimano rod, and fits perfectly in the hand, making palming very easy and comfortable. You will surely notice the great casting performance and you cannot fail to be impressed by the powerful performance that is the hallmark of the Bantam name. The latest version of the Bantam benefits from a lightweight MGL III coil and the SVS Infinity system, further enhanced by Silent Tune and Super Free Spool. Any size lures can be safely cast over considerable distances and the reel speed can be instantly adjusted using the outer dial to suit different lure sizes or conditions. But it is the recovery and fishing performance where the Bantam really excels. The combination of Micromodule Gear and Infinity Drive gives super smooth directivity, even when spinning at high speeds, and combined with the stiffness of the Coresolid Body allows you to transfer maximum power from the handle. And don't worry about the lack of stretch if you use braid. The Cross Carbon Drag ensures that the clutch is smooth, powerful and always reliable, even when you ask the toughest questions.

<p>The SLX is a stunning value for money reel that offers long lasting performance at a remarkably low price. Ticking all the right boxes, when it comes to features and performance this is Shimano value, quality and credibility and a price that almost defies logic. The SLX is the perfect choice if you are starting to fish with baitcasting reels. Perhaps you have used spinning reels in the past but now want to try something more direct, compact and lightweight. Or maybe you just want great value for money. Whatever your motivation, you can't go wrong with the versatile SLX. It takes many of the tried and trusted features found on Shimano's more expensive reels and packs them into a distinctive HAGANE compact body that is easy to handle and use, even for inexperienced anglers. When it comes to the cheapest range of the market there is often a compromise between quality and price. But SLX has rewritten the rule book. To start with, it uses a high-end HAGANE body made from lightweight aluminum, which is important because a reel with a strong build works more effectively when under pressure. Casting is controlled by Shimano's VBS braking system, which uses adjustable centrifugal weights that can be pre-set to suit your style and preferences. And to ensure minimal vibration during casting, the superb S3D spool is standard. Finally, when you hook your first fish, you will surely appreciate the slightly longer handle, which provides the necessary power to control the most difficult fish.</p>
