SHIMANO SLX

$159.99 $189.00

Introducing the new 2023 Release SLX Baitcast Reel, a testament to Shimano's commitment to excellence in fishing gear. This low-profile reel sets a new benchmark with upgraded SVS Brake and Silent Tune technologies, offering anglers unparalleled quality and performance at an exceptional value.

The foundation of the SLX is its HAGANE Body and brass gearing, embodying premium Shimano technology designed to withstand rigorous fishing conditions while maintaining durability and smooth operation. The brass gears housed within the compact HAGANE Body ensure reliable cranking power and exceptional smoothness, crucial for landing fish with precision.

Despite its compact size comparable to a 70-sized reel, the SLX features a 150-sized spool capable of accommodating up to 135 yards of 30-pound PowerPro line, providing ample line capacity for various fishing scenarios.

Shimano has further enhanced the SLX by integrating new technologies. The upgraded SVS Brake system optimizes casting control, allowing anglers to achieve longer, more accurate casts with ease. Meanwhile, Silent Tune technology reduces vibration for a quieter, more enjoyable fishing experience, enhancing sensitivity and responsiveness.

Designed for versatility and performance, the new SLX Baitcast Reel is poised to exceed expectations, offering anglers of all levels the tools they need to succeed on the water. With its blend of innovation, durability, and affordability, the SLX continues to uphold Shimano's reputation as a leader in fishing tackle technology.

PRODUCT TECHNOLOGIES:

HAGANE BODY

The HAGANE Body is produced from high rigidity aluminium or magnesium. This creates stiffness and impact resistance, while at the same time eliminating flexing of the body. The result is a rock-solid housing and support for the moving internal gearing and greater efficiency throughout the reel.

S COMPACT BODY

Compact body design to reduce weight and allow for better grip and leverage while fighting a fish.

SVS INFINITY

Shimano's newest innovation in brake system technology, SVS Infinity provides easy to manage, consistent spool control and brake force. With brake weights that use inner friction against the raceway during the cast, SVS Infinity controls spool speed for precision casting especially when using lighter lures. The external adjustment knob provides for quick, precise adjustments for either the conditions or when you switch baits.

SILENT LINE

Silent Line is a mechanism that reduces the vibration of the bearings during high-speed cranking, which in turn, makes cranking quieter and smoother.
