Shimano SLX Casting Reel

The all-new SLX series now features Shimano’s premium SILENTTUNE technology to improve rotation and enhance overall reeling performance.

It is a tall task to redesign an industry benchmark for versatility and performance, so the Shimano team went to work developing the all-new SLX series of low-profile reels. Available in three gear ratios, Shimano built the SLX with a HAGANE Body for increased durability and strength, so anglers can set the hook and land the fish of a lifetime. Unsurpassed quality and performance at an unbeatable price, the all-new SLX series of reels is a must-have for anglers looking to upgrade their quiver.

• HAGANE is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano’s precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.
• The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing on the reel while fighting a fish. The result transforms the angler’s actions directly into cranking power,
• By applying slight pressure to the bearing holding the spool, SilentTune reduces the vibration of the bearing during high-speed rotation. This improves the quietness while casting and the rise of the spool rotation becomes even smoother.
• SVS use 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.
• S3D SPOOL leads to significantly reduced spool vibration. This creates an smooth feeling when casting.
• SUPER FREE SPOOL reduces friction on the spool shaft during the cast and enhances casting performance.
• Models determined usable in saltwater.
