Up for sale is a vintage Shimano Bantam 100 baitcast reel, designed for professional freshwater fishing. This reel is in the box and doesn't look to me to have been used but it's been sitting at the bottom of an old tackle box so there is dirt and grime that has accrued and oil stains on the box.
It features a star drag system and a gear ratio of 4.7:1, perfect for catching all types of freshwater fish. The reel is made of high-quality metal and was manufactured in Japan. It is a great addition to any fishing collection, especially for those who appreciate vintage items. The reel size is 100 and the hand retrieve is right. Please note that this item is sold as is, without any guarantee of its condition.
It was found in an old collection of fishing gear. You can see by the original price tag that it was purchased at JC Penny a long time ago.
