Shimano SLX A
The Shimano SLX A is the latest version of the very popular SLX series . It offers not only solid but also reliable performance at a very good price . Therefore, the price-performance ratio is convincing in every respect. This reel is perfect for beginners and for baitcaster fans who are looking for high performance at a fair price.
There are different variants of the SLX A . For example, the 70 stands for the right-hand model, while the 71 is the left-hand model. If no additional information is given, it means that the gear ratio is 6.3:1 , which is good for slow lure movement . The XG version with a gear ratio of 8.2:1 is ideal for fast lures such as twitchbaits . The HG version with 7.2:1 is a good all-rounder.
The HAGANE housing is light but still very robust. It reliably protects the inside of the reel. At the same time, the SVS Infinity brake system offers easy and precise adjustment. This controls the spool rotation to avoid backlashes . The S3D spool and Silent Tune technology reduce vibrations, which leads to greater casting distance and casting comfort . In addition, the longer crank improves the leverage , which is clearly noticeable during the fight.
