2016 Shimano Bantam rods

Post by RMCatchNrelease » Tue Jan 05, 2016 12:00 am

I found this video with some discussion on the new Shimano lures and the bantam rods. It is in Japanese, but towards the end it shows the model numbers.

Fixed. All new products pictured and listed at the 45 minute mark.

The Bantam rods have a silver painted reel seat to match the new Metanium.

Juan, you are definitely on top of this stuff! I checked it out and it looks like the new Poison Glorious looks a lot like the Poison Ultima.

Yep they are using the carbon monocoque handle with maybe a carbon weave of some sort on half of it.

Hopefully they have better than a one year warranty.

Won't have a better warranty and won't bring them to North America to compete against Gloomis rods...Warranty won't be serviced in North America on rods products you get from Japan.
