[@Charlie_The_Giant_Gourami]

The best Bantam MGL A review on KZbin! well done

[@davidrauschenbach6871]

My older 2018 Bantam is still kicking fine but nice to see updates if your new to the bantam. Can’t wait to see updates to Chronarch Mgl and the Vanquish! Thanks for the update!

[@LadyBass]

Yea man same with mine - those 2018 were built SOLID! Im excited to see those too😁

[@taurus19642007]

Nice video LB ! looking for a new flipping combo , and I'll have to check it out! Thanks for all your time putting these videos together! Much appreciated!

[@leagued3832]

The timing couldn't have been any better. 😍😍

[@fishingnorfolk]

Great video and comparison LB. And, good timing as i am treating myself with a new reel for bass, piking. Looks like a perfect match.

[@mikedaley2882]

I bought 2 of them about a month ago and it is phenominal! Way way better than the bantam mgl 18 , and arguably better than the metanium imo.

[@raducanubogdan-gabriel6407]

Hey, glad to hear you enjoy your Bantams. Cam you please tell me if the 22 model is a better caster then the 18? I fish from the shore and need long casting reel , but also a powerful one, want to use it for pike, thanks so much!

[@nateriley4067]

Nice combo with the new Expride Rod. Question for you, Where did you get that Shimano Shirt? It looks killer on you. Thanks for the video.

[@johndynneson662]

Nice. Job. Lady. Bass. For putting up the diagrams of what infinity means. Nobody else could figure it out or explain it. 👍

[@Neversettle0o]

Probably watched 10 reviews of the Bantam, and not a single one mentioned what you did at 4:32 regards to the line guide - at least not that clearly. Good review!

[@BarryP]

As always.... Well done! Thank you!

[@jpap967]

Love my 2018 Bantam. Used it for cranking and chatterbaits. But definitely picking up the 22 model soon. The line guide being out further makes casting farther easier, and the 6-pin Infinity SVS brakes are sure to have more control than the previous 4-pin braking system in the previous bantam

[@mikehauck5832]

lb, as always excellent content. Love my Bantam. I noticed you have a different type of braid. What are you using now? 🤙🙏☮️😎

[@LadyBass]

It was 65 lb power pro super 8 slick!

[@poncianosouto714]

Hello! congratulations for the video. About the micromodule (mgl), don't you think that without it is better? I see a lot of criticism about it. Another question, didn't you feel this big set for this type of fishing?

[@philipfalco7304]

Very informative video Izzy. Question: What gear ratio would you recommend for throwing 1/2oz. Spinnerbaits and would you recommend the Bantam over the Met.hg for that purpose. Thank's

[@jjay2492]

Hey Bella sorry i havent seen you in awhile, nice to see you now

[@mattp5712]

Hi ladybass. I have smaller hands, the antares 70 and curado 70 mgl k fit my hand perfect. How does the 2022 bantom compare to those reels in your hand. Thank you and happy new years!

[@LadyBass]

Its a lil bigger for sure but definitely feels smaller then the curado 200

[@johndynneson662]

I tried a new. Bantam today some young guy had one. He was cool enough too let me take a few cast. I couldn’t believe it. Butta!!!! I want one. Now!!!!!!😆😆😆

[@raducanubogdan-gabriel6407]

Hey! Nice video, congrats, love your videos! All the way from Romania with a question, does the 22 Bantam cast better then the 18? I fish mostly from the shore so need long casts. I know the Met would probably be a better caster, but need a more powerful reel to use for pike fishing. I know that the 18 Bantam didn t cast that good. I'm looking at 19 Antares and 22 Bantam, wold pick the Bantam as it's a new reel with some innovations..., your oppinion would help so much! Thank you!

[@LadyBass]

For pike id definitely go bantam over met - just a more solid reel in my opinion. It casts far, but i dont know if it casts much further and i havent measured casting distance to check. My 2018 bantam casted like a dream, so it may be the line or something. If you have the money, the Antares DC MD is a sick reel - casts super far and can handle bigger baits!

[@raducanubogdan-gabriel6407]

@@LadyBass thank you so much for your fast and well thought answer! You have been very heplful in my taking a decision. I will get the Bantam 22 as ist's got new tech in it and the price is decent. Thank you!🙏

[@dannymckechnie7688]

Love the bass , but do u eat them the pros Wild stuff but where are the crazy lures

[@KrisAtKSO]

will you do a review on the curado 200 dc when it releases ?

[@LadyBass]

If i can get my hands on one yes!

[@smoovefishing]

I like the new color better, that silver that was on the Met mgl would chip if you looked at it wrong lol

[@LadyBass]

Yea mine had some boat rash - only reel i have that got any

[@rich5916]

how is it compared to the curado 150 mgl?

[@LadyBass]

I dont know havent used it!

[@blongyang5547]

How is the new expride? Just got one but I haven't had the time to put it to work

[@LadyBass]

So far i like them - they seem to be a little more crisp/stiff then the previous models!

[@splixed_8481]

I personally like the color more on the 2018 version thinking bout getting it however I’ll love to see a new chronarch mgl since it hasn’t been updated for 5 years I think they will add coresolid body for new chronarch and a lighter mgl 3 spool nice review tho

[@LadyBass]

Yea im excited to see what they do with the Chronarch!

[@dannymckechnie7688]

give me a lure ile mess it up

[@Straight0uttaCrofton]

i came straight away to hear it from the horse's mouth

[@vaidasmince553]

spool lighter? no its not. exact same weight.

[@LadyBass]

Spool is thinner *
