    Description

    This is possibly one of the most rare Bantam 100 reels you may ever find!  In 1989 their Royal Bee corporation developed an electric auto casting mechanism for baitcasting reels. According to the research I found only 4,000 of these battery operated casters were purchased before Zebco jumped on board for a short period of time. I cannot imagine many Shimano Bantam 100's were fitted for the Royal Bee.
    I do not have the battery pack however it looks to be solid and the button appears to work well. This is certainly a one of a kind! The reel itself is in really good condition with only a few scrapes on the sides. I've never seen one of these before and certainly never thought I would see one on a Bantam 100.
