IMO, they were the first easy to cast low profile baitcaster. They were considerable lighter than most other bc at the time. Very popular paired with a pistol grip rod. Early one's were made by Shimano, until they started making their own very similar Bantams. After that they were made by Ryobi. I am curious to what their retrieval rate is (inches per turn of the handle). I still have a lew's speed stick in the rod stack, not sure whatever happen to the reel.
