One thing caught my attention was a different in shape when looking at spool shaft's design, meaning the pinion gear might have been revised. We'll have to wait for the schematic to find out, I guess. I did exactly the same, counted the bearings and stuff, Shimano's description of the Infinity Drive on their website for the new Bantam seems to be for the spinning reel but Japan's website descriptions are more like it, still a little confusing. I always like the engineering gimmicks and will have to figure out exactly what Infinity Drive is. But the bearing count is identical at 8+1. I figured the new Bantam had one extra because it reads that Infinity Drive is a "new main shaft supporting structure" that helps fluidity. The new Conquest (I think) has 3 main shaft bearings (along with 2 spool, 2 pinion, 4 total knob, 2 levelwind, and an anti-reverse for 14 total). The old Bantam had: 2 spool bearings, 2 pinion bearings, 2 mainshaft bearings, and an anti-reverse bearing, (also 2 knob bearings but they don't really mean as much). I thought it was an extra bearing on the main shaft, like the 21 Calcutta Conquest has. I am not fully sure what Infinity Drive is. I know some of you guys know exactly what I mean since it's been posted somewhere in here before. Has this feature, please correct me if i'm wrong but isn't the 18 Bantam MGL and 20 Metanium technically have the Infinity Drive feature already? Ok guys I know that the new 22 Bantam MGL is ready for pre-order and been checking it out and I like the new features so far,īut i'm a little confused about the new "Infinity Drive" and no more X-ship, I've been reading and looking at reel schematics that
