SHIMANO 22 Bantam 168ML+ -G/2

The flagship of Shimano bass rods that pursues our path. The blanks, which are simple and strong, have advanced technology and strength.

The flagship of Shimano bass rod has been reincarnated with new specifications. The new Bantam has evolved into a rod that demonstrates unchanging strength and stable performance in harsh field environments and overuse by introducing advanced technologies such as the spiral X core.

Its extraordinary power and toughness are for anglers who continue to challenge self-recorded bass and love bass fishing for a lifetime.

168ML + -G / 2

HARD BAIT

[2 pieces] -One & Half / Hooking power UP concept-
Set a seam near the belly that produces power during hooking. By forcibly increasing the diameter of the joint position to one rank, a sharp hooking position is created at the source of the delicate tip. It reduces miss bites and increases the catch rate without disturbing the lure's original swimming.
A glass composite rod that has been updated to allow small to medium sized hard baits to swim and actively catch bites. Suitable for cover cranking by shallow to middle divers, middle size vibrations and top water plugs. A one-and-half design in which the tip side that arrives is short, aiming for coexistence of "stickiness that makes use of the original action of the lure" required for glass composites and "hooking performance that picks up a short bite and automatically entangles the hook".

KEY FEATURES :

A cork grip that makes history.

A tackle that can be used for a long time and can be loved for a lifetime. One of the parts that embodies the basic idea of Bantam is the cork grip. Why does Shimano, which leads with the latest technology such as full carbon monocoque grip, dare to adopt cork for bantam? The reason is that the material called cork is a material that gives off a "taste" the more you use it while maintaining sufficient performance for a long period of time. The scratches on the carbon are just scratches, but the scratches on the cork and the aging are the texture. Bantam's cork grips have a history of walking with you.

EVA grip that can withstand tough use.

On the other hand, some bantam models have EVA grips. There are two items, 168XH-SB / 2 and 1711MH + -SB / 2. These two power rods, which follow the flow of the previous 170UH-SB (made-to-order model), swing out large lures powerfully and maintain high reliability even under tough conditions such as rain, so they are more slippery and hard EVA. Select. While respecting the basic philosophy, we will not allow any compromise in terms of unyielding performance in actual use. It is a special specification for controlling the fight against monsters.
