It is a 165L-BFS.......scroll down on this link to Bantam Rods......https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://fishing.shimano.co.jp/product/reel/4654&prev=search

In a word... Sexy

That looks great!

Cool grand combo.

Sweet!

What a setup!

 

Is that Bantam rod basically a JDM Expride? The entire handle part of the rod looks the same as the Exprides, just in a different color.

Not a  huge fan of the way round reels look but that combo is sexy.

Rod/reel combo looks great, but there's something horribly wrong with your lawn. ?

I'm not too familiar with bait-finesse stuff. Why would you choose a round reel for finesse use?

That rig looks really nice.

Because round reels are awesome.

Preach!

 

That's a killer looking setup.  As Will Smith once said, 'I gots to get me one of these!"

Being a fan of both round and low profile reels that really is a non issue.....In regards to finesse reels being a huge fan of Conquest Reels it was a must have however my other reels are low profile.

Got it. That reel does look pretty slick. Congrats.

Awesome set up.  If I were you, I would have cabin fever.  I couldn't wait to get that out on the water. 

Whew! This set up hits all my buttons. I love the look of that round reel.
