Which shimano low profile for deep cranking
Which shimano low profile for deep cranking
Looking at getting a low profile shimano reel for deep cranking. Strongly debating the bantam mgl. Rod is a megabass launcher, 7’11” medium heavy, main purpose will be 6xd. The odd 10xd, deep six and 300x
Re: Which shimano low profile for deep cranking
If you get a Bantam I’d strongly consider upgrading the handle to a longer one. The Bantam comes with an 84mm only by default. The Tranx 200 has a 102mm handle, the Curado K 200 at least a 90.

The lowest ratio for bantam is 6.2 correct? I would also look into old curado 200 E5.

Japan Tackle has an Avail handle, gunmetal 105mm, a great match for the Bantam, just sayin'

Bantam MGL has a JDM-only PG version, which is 5.5 gear ratio, iirc.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Re: Which shimano low profile for deep cranking
Thank you very much. I’ll keep looking for a bantam then and look at getting a longer handle
