Microcast spool for SHIMANO BANTAM 100
Groove depths of 2.0 mm and 3.9 mm are available.
Many of you may have been using the 3.9mm groove model for mountain stream trout, but the addition of the 2.0mm groove model will allow you to cast lighter lures with greater comfort.
For use with trout and bass in lakes and main streams, we recommend the 3.9mm groove.
Please use the supplied brake blocks (large and small) for the centrifugal brake.
Please note that the factory brake block cannot be used for this product.

About the spool attachment



Brake blocks for ABU fit on Microcast Spool BTM1020R/1039R.
Four types of brake blocks are sold, but this product comes with two types of brake blocks, large and small (2 pieces each).
The material is made of Bakelite.
Braking force varies between large and small, so use according to your application.
You can also use the optional [Avail] ABU Brake Block Bakelite (set of 4) in extra-small and medium sizes, depending on your preference.
Please use it in your favorite setting.

Regarding brake adjustment, please refer to the following.

Regarding the effectiveness of the brake blocks, the small ones seem to work about half as well as the large ones.
(It may be slightly different, but please refer to it anyway)
2 large pieces > 1 large piece + 1 small piece > 1 large piece (or 2 small pieces) > 1 small piece > none
The order in which they are used changes the effectiveness of the system.
