JOOTTI COMPARE

HOW DOES THIS REEL COMPARE?

Versatile 150-size casting

This reel

Shimano Bantam A 150 BANTAM150HGA / RIGHT

$394.99

Spool size
150
Weight
7.8 oz
Gear ratio / retrieve
7.1:1 · 31 in per turn
Spool / braking
MGL Spool III 34 × 19 mm; SVS Infinity centrifugal brakes
Manufacturer-listed line capacity
Mono 10 lb / 120 yd; 12 lb / 110 yd; 14 lb / 90 yd. PowerPro 20 lb / 150 yd; 30 lb / 135 yd; 40 lb / 105 yd.
Maximum drag
11 lb
Best for
Cover and high-resistance bass presentations where sustained winding authority matters more than lightness.
How it feels
Its 7.8-ounce weight, one-piece aluminum CoreSolid body, and Infinity Drive point toward a more planted, load-oriented feel than Curado M 150 HG.
Pick this when
You want the MGL III casting design but prioritize the aluminum body/drive package.
Tradeoff
$160 over Curado M HG, 1.1 oz heavier, and no larger published 150 line capacity.
Why pay more
Metanium MGL 150 HG is the lighter 6.3-ounce magnesium route, not an automatic increase in power.
Why save the money
Curado M 150 HG is enough for general-purpose bass casting; the Bantam premium has to earn its keep under load.

Manufacturer-listed line capacity
Mono 10 lb / 120 yd; 12 lb / 110 yd; 14 lb / 90 yd. PowerPro 20 lb / 150 yd; 30 lb / 135 yd; 40 lb / 105 yd.
Maximum drag
13 lb
Best for
The customer seeking one light, capable, manually tuned bass 150 for mixed casting work.
How it feels
The 6.7-ounce MGL III/SVS combination should feel more responsive at spool startup than the standard-capacity SLX platforms while retaining published 150 capacity.
Pick this when
You care more about lower mass and spool response than an electronic brake.
Tradeoff
It needs deliberate SVS tuning; it does not have the SLX DC's four digital modes or Bantam's load-focused body/drive.
Why pay more
Bantam MGL 150 HG earns its $160 jump specifically for aluminum CoreSolid/Infinity Drive under load; Metanium MGL 150 HG offers a lighter magnesium build.
Why save the money
SLX XT A 150 HG remains a sound $90-lower choice for ordinary midweight bass casting.

JOOTTI TAKE

Bantam is a specialized premium power decision. Do not buy it expecting the lightest reel in the case.
