I'd been shooting a Gatku for a while when Neritic came out with the Bantam. I got my son a Bantam for his birthday back in November and its the only polespear that gets wet. The thing is slick. It's modular, breaks down and the lengths can be adjusted from 5-10'. What we really love is the wicked magnetic slip tip it comes with. Its legit! When you give a fish a friendly poke, with the bantam, he/she (the fish) sticks around and ends up going home for dinner.
The tip easily/quickly detaches from the polespear, making it simple to set back up. This makes it easy to invite the fishes friends over for a very tasty meal. I picked ours up at Benthic over in Destin.
Hope this is helpful
