Shimano SLX A 70 A

The SLX is one of Shimano's most popular baitcasting reels, offering an excellent price-performance ratio with solid performance at a remarkably low price. It combines Shimano's quality and reputation at an unbeatable price.

The SLX is the perfect choice if you are just starting with casting reels. Perhaps you have used casting reels in the past but now want to try something more compact and lightweight. Or maybe you are simply looking for an outstanding price-performance ratio? Whatever your motivation, you can't go wrong with the SLX. It features many of the proven and reliable characteristics found in Shimano's top reels, all housed in a compact HAGANE body that is easy for beginners to handle.

In the entry-level segment, one often has to compromise between quality and price. However, the SLX redefines the rules. First of all, it uses a high-quality HAGANE body made of lightweight aluminum, which is important because a solid frame better withstands stress. The casting is supported by Shimano's SVS Infinity spool brake technology, which can be adjusted almost infinitely with an external dial to achieve the precise control needed based on skill level, preferences, and lure size. To ensure minimal vibrations during casting, the S3D Magnumlite III spool features Silent Tune technology, which comes from Shimano's most advanced models. Finally, when you land your first fish, you will surely appreciate the slightly longer handle that provides the necessary power to tackle even the most stubborn fish.
