Does the Bantam have synchronized level wind?

The Bantam may be old-school but it was a nice reel. I think I had three of them. She Mono was still building their brand at that time

If I can track down and buy back my Chaos black and gold cork grip flipping rod I will take the Bantam if it is still around. Only sold that rod because I had no reel but this reel is perfect for it. Can't remember who I sold it too though 
Dreaming the dream that one day I can be as good as some of the boatless pros and catch some 12 inch mangrove snapper.

Re: GoPro Hero 3 & Old School Shimano Bantum 50
I had a Bantam 400 and when you cast it, the line guide didn't move. It did move both on retrieve and as drag was pulled. This resulted in some nasty extreme angles of the line between the spool and line guide. If your reel resolves this and always tracks the line, like an Abu Garcia, then I'm very interested. Let me know, thanks.
