After watching the videos, the Bantam looks like what a Z1016 could have been, are you listening Daiwa!?!?

Stop T winging me to death.

Ain't that the truth! It looks like a Shimano I might actually spring for. Nothing in the last 5 yrs has wowed me, so maybe this is the one.

When are you expecting them to arrive at TTT??? On the subject of line guides, does the Bantam have that conical shape design the Aldebaran does or not???

I'm reading for summer small mouth fishing with the supposed shallow spool. Don't really need another reel, but I've already got a rod picked for this one.

HAHAHA I dont think many of us on here NEED another reel (* bait monkey whispers " but you need another reel")

They haven't given us an exact date as to when they'll arrive at The Tackle Trap, pre-orders are still being accepted and are filled first come first served. Sometime in March hopefully, but as with any new release, it's subject to when they ship from the manufacturer. The left hand versions won't be available until Summer sometime it appears. Regarding the line guide, I don't know the answer to that question.

Looking at videos on You Tube, it looks like the reel has the cone shape line guide.

It is a cone shaped line guide, it looks to be more like the new Antares then the old Aldebaran/core line guides.

Thats actually a great feature - stupid that most other casting reels dont have / come with that profiled line guide...

Im told April for righties and June for lefties.

Hate to say it coming from a Daiwa guy, but you get 95% of the advantages of a T-Wing from that cone I assume. Saves a few extra moving parts also, even though Daiwa's trip system for the T-Wing is purdy clean already.
