The Shimano SLX low-profile reel features a HAGANE Body and brass gearing, giving anglers premium Shimano technology without breaking the bank. The brass gears inside the SLX’s compact HAGANE Body deliver reliable cranking power and smoothness. The SLX low-profile reel incorporates a compact design comparable to a 70-sized reel, but the reel’s 150-sized spool has enough capacity for 135 yards of 30-pound PowerPro to provide anglers needed line capacity. A longer 45mm handle offers added power and works in conjunction with the three available gear ratios — 6.3:1, 7.2:1 (HG) and 8.2:1 (XG) — to allow anglers to find a model that meets their desired fishing style by working baits slow and methodical with the 6.3:1 option, or with pure speed to cover water quickly utilizing the 8.2:1 gear ratio model. The SLX 6.3:1 models provide anglers with 12 pounds of stopping power, while the HG and XG models offer 11 pounds of drag — enough to put the brakes on even the most determined trophy fish. The complete lineup of SLX low-profile reels offers anglers unsurpassed quality and performance at an unbeatable price.
- HAGANE Body
- The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing on the reel while fighting fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power, increasing efficiency through strength
- S3D Spool
- S3D technology leads to significantly reduced spool vibration. By designing and constructing a balanced and uniform thin-wall aluminum spool, S3D creates an incredibly smooth feeling when casting and reviving lures
- Super Free Spool
- Super Free Spool eliminates on the spool shaft during the cast. Standard baitcasting reels are constructed in a way that when the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion gear is freed and can actually drag on the spool shaft. This creates friction that can limit the length of a cast. But baitcasting reels with Super Free Spool are constructed so that the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing. When the clutch is disengaged in preparation for a cast, the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in perfect alignment. The result: zero friction is placed upon the spool shaft and enhances casting performance
- VBS
- VBS 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 - when backlashes most often occur - to create friction that reduces the speed of the spool. Once the spool speed begins to slow, the pressure with which the brake weights contact the raceway lessens and allows the spool to continue spinning
