Make sure this fits by entering your model number.; HaganeBody – The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity.
The body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing.
The result transforms the angler’s actions directly into cranking power.
Iy’ss efficiency through strength.; SVS Infinity – Shimano’s newest innovation in brake system technology, SVS Infinity provides easy-to-manage, consistent spool control and brake force. With weights that use inner friction against the raceway during the cast, SVS Infinity controls spool speed for precision casting especially when using lighter lures.
The external adjustment knob provides for quick, precise adjustments for either the conditions or when you switch baits; S3D Spool – This technology leads to reduced spool vibration.
By designing a balanced and uniform thin wall aluminum constructed spool, S3D creates an incredibly smooth feel casting and retrieveing lures; Super Free Spool – Was designed to eliminate friction on the spool shaft during the cast.
In standard baitcasting reels, hen the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion gear is freed and actually can drag on the spool shaft creating friction that can limit the length of the length of the cast. With Super Free, the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing so that when the clutch is disengaged for a cast, the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in perfect alignment.

I love this reel. I have many baitcasters (Shimano, Okuma, Abu, Daiwa, Kastking, Piscifun, +more) and this is my favorite reel.It’s super smooth, and the DC braking system really works great.If you’re new to baitcasters, you can set this to ‘4’ (most braking) and cast with no thumb and get zero backlash. I use braid, have it set to ‘1’ (lowest braking) and cast with a light thumb and it really flies.And it looks great. Just get it already 😎

Best reel in this price range. Super smooth. Like buttah. Dc breaking is like alien technology.

This reel should get a 6th ⭐️! Because of price. I’ve thrown every DC reel Shimano has put out in the past 4 Yrs and the SLX absolutely 100% feels and performs the same. It’s a workhorse, this reel and my Tranx 200 and 400 cover everything point blank. (And I’ve never ocean fished but any one of them you can fish saltwater). Get the speed for how and what you like to fish and a couple SLX or Cadence rods that work for you’re height and application, and you’re fishin with great, extremely reliable gear for what I think are excellent prices. The fish do DO NOT care if you’re holding a 1000$ GLoomis or 100$ SLX rod or Cadence, and all 3 if you’re using the right line, lures, and techniques, are putting fish in the boat, and the guy next to you who spent 1500 on a rod and reel is mad the whole day still if it’s a hot day and you just get skunked. Think people.

This is a lightweight reel that is powerful and sports a very smooth drag. Most people will be attracted to it’s breaking system that virtually eliminates backlash giving one more time fishing and less time undoing knots. I highly recommend this reel to a beginner but also useful to people wishing to throw light baits on a conventional set up.

Great reel. Had some hiccups at first. Got it tuned and now I love this reel. You can turn it to 4 and just bomb it and not even put your thumb back on the reel and the dc brakes fight off the back lash with ease.
