Step up to the next level of attainable high-performance baitcasting with the SLX XT. This Shimano reel boasts a compact, strong HAGANE Body, durable brass gears and Shimano’s reliable SVS Infinity Brake System.
Shimano's newest innovation in brake system technology, SVS Infinity, provides easy-to-manage, consistent spool control and brake force.
The Hagane Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing on the reel with fighting fish.
Super Free Spool eliminates friction on the spool shaft during the cast. Standard baitcasting reels ae constructed in a way that when the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion gear is freed and can actually drag on the spool shaft. This creates friction that can limit the length of a cast. But baitcasting reels with Super Free Spool are constructed so that the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing. When the clutch is disengaged in preparation for a cast, the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in perfect alignment. The result: zero friction is placed upon the spool shaft and enhances casting performance.
