Shimano SLX A
The SLX is one of Shimano's most popular baitcasters and combines an excellent price-performance ratio with solid and reliable performance. In proven Shimano quality, this reel not only impresses with its performance and reliability, but also with its price.
The SLX is the ideal choice for baitcasting beginners. If you have only fished with fixed spool reels so far and now want to enjoy the benefits of a faster, more compact and lighter baitcaster, the SLX is the perfect choice. But even experienced baitcaster enthusiasts who appreciate excellent value for money should definitely take a closer look at the SLX. Whatever your motivation, you can't go wrong with this value-for-money champion. The distinctive, compact HAGANE body, which is easy to handle and use even for inexperienced anglers, houses many of the proven and reliable technologies found in higher-priced models.
When casting, the speed of the spool rotation is regulated by the SVS Infinity braking system, which can be adjusted almost infinitely using an external knob. This makes it easy to adjust the spool brake according to the size of the bait and personal preference. In addition, the exclusive S3D spool and Silent Tune technologies reduce vibrations at the Magnumlite III spool during casting. The slightly longer crank will impress from the very first drill with its improved cranking power.
Features: 4+1 ball bearings, HAGANE aluminium body, SVS braking system, Magnumlite S3D coil, Silent Tune for reduced vibration, Cross Carbon Drag braking system.

Safety instructions:
“ - Handle hooks with care: Always cover the fishing hooks or remove them from the rods for transportation. Use corks or hook covers to avoid accidental injury.
- Keep your distance: Fish at least 10 meters away from others to avoid accidents. Watch out for people behind you before casting. Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
- Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
- Carbon fiber rods conduct electricity. Do not use them during thunderstorms or near power lines.
- Never try to pull lures or leaders out of trees or bushes by applying pressure to the rod and fishing line. This can result in the bait/lead being catapulted towards the angler. Use only your hands to free the bait/lead.
- Train beginners: Instruct children and beginners in the safe handling of rods and hooks to minimize risks.
- Safety distance: Always keep a distance of at least six meters from high-voltage power lines when carrying or using fishing rods.
- Avoid high sticking: Do not bend your rod too much while you are drilling a fish, which is known as “high sticking. Hold the rod at a maximum loading angle of 45 to 60 degrees to avoid breakage.
- Aligning the rod for snags: If your lure snags, keep the rod pointed at the hook while walking backwards to reduce the strain on the rod.
- Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
- Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
