The Shimano SLX's Hagane Body and brass gearing delivers reliable and pure cranking power. Three SUS bearings and one roller bearing ensures everything turns smoothly. The reel sports a compact design, but maintains the same line capacity as Shimano's standard 150 sized reels, fitting approximately 150m of 20lb braid. A longer 45mm Throw handle working in conjunction with a gear ratio of 7.2:1 means the slow and methodical lure worker, and anglers who appreciate speed are well covered by the new SLX. On top of this it's maximum drag setting of 5kg provides some amazing stopping power should it be needed.

Shimano Technology and Features Found In SLX Reels:

Hagane Body - A reel body with high rigidity, which virtually eliminates body flexing due to it's stiffness and impact resistance.

VBS Braking - Uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to aid in controlling the cast. When turned on, the individual brake weights are forced outward at the beginning of the cast, where backlashes most often occur, causing friction that reduces spool speed. As speed lessens, the pressure with which the brake weights contact the raceway is lessened, allowing the spool to continue spinning.

Ratio: 7.2:1

Weight: 195g/ 6.9Oz

Ball Bearings: 3+1

Max Drag: 5kg

Capacity: Braid 150m 20lb

FOR A LITTLE REEL, THE NEW SLX DC BAITCASTER IS HIGHLY SMART

With high demand for the Curado DC, Shimano created the SLX DC to introduce anglers to the some technology at lower price point to encourage anglers to take that next step.

The DC uses the same I-DC4 technology to control the spool and the signature HAGANE frame, with the only tangible difference being both X-Ship and Micromodule gearing have been excluded to differentiate between the two models. Anglers wanting to gain extra distance with their casts, using either softbaits or lures will want to check out the new SLX DC.

Ideal for soft baiting, light jigging and slow pitch, also perfectly fine for general bottom fishing! GREAT VERSATILITY!
