In this video I do a walk through of the new #Shimano #Bantam released in 2022. I discuss where this reel fits in my arsenal, what techniques I use it for and why.

Thank's for the informative video Patrick. Question: What gear ratio would you recommend for 1/2 oz. Spinnerbaits and will it have more torque than the 2020 Met. Hg for that purpose? Thank's

You will definitely feel less winding resistance. The retrieve is going to be smoother. I would recommend a HG 7.2:1

@@patrickzajdel Thank's a lot Patrick; appreciate the help. I just ordered the 23 Met. but the Bantam HG will be the next reel on my list.

I have my new Bantam MGL on the 2022 Expride 7' 6" heavy. Man what a pleasure to fish with and the combo is so powerful. 👌

Awesome! Love hearing that!

This is the exact combo I’m looking into. How is it for cranks? (Squarebills / deep cranks?)

What is a 4x4 baitcasting reel Patrick? Great video!

@patrickzajdel Жыл бұрын

That’s the best way to describe the reel using a real world example. The Bantam is essentially built to handle the thickest of vegetation and cover.

I use my scorpion Md for 4x4 fishing

That's an equally beautiful Shimano rod you're holding/using!

I combined the new bantam with the Kistler Helium. Very smooth and powerful combination

Hello I’m a rookie to fishing! I was just wondering why people that go on a lake take like 10 rods and reels? Can’t you just cut the line and tie a new jig? Thanks!!

Different rods are better for certain lures

@patrickzajdel Жыл бұрын

Like Emil said, different rods with different powers and actions are better for different techniques. Similar to rods, reels spooled with different line such as Braid, Fluorocarbon, etc., in different pound test are better for different techniques. It can be compared to golf, you don't go golfing with a single club 😉

Have you tried any loomis rods ?

@patrickzajdel 2 жыл бұрын

Yes I have! I primarily use the Exprides from Shimano but have a few IMX Pro and NRX+ G. Loomis in the mix as well!

@@tnbassmaster Thanks! Really appreciate that. You should take a look at the Zodias ($209-$249 USD) series of rods, those have always impressed me and have been some of the best rods for the money on the market. They have some great models in both spinning and casting. For certain applications it may be worth spending the extra money for the Exprides ($279-$299 USD) however. If you’re on Instagram, shoot me a message there and we can chat through some specific models!
