Redesigned and backed by a number key improvements, the Shimano SLX 150 XT Casting Reel takes the winning performance of the SLX series a step further with a refreshed design that amplifies performance. Housed in a rigid, yet incredibly lightweight HAGANE frame, the Shimano SLX 150 XT Casting Reel features Shimano’s upgraded SVS infinity braking system, which allows anglers to make more subtle adjustments using only the external dial, resulting in extended casting distance with a broader range of lures.
Versatile and compact, the Shimano SLX 150 XT Casting Reel provides anglers with the capacity of a 150-size reel, while maintaining a small, easy to palm construction. Manufactured in Shimano’s own factory, the Shimano SLX 150 XT Casting Reel is powered by brass gearing, which serves to increase smoothness and bolster reliability. Fitted with a long handle and ergonomic grips, the Shimano SLX 150 XT Casting Reel caters to anglers who are looking for a competitive advantage at a great price.
The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing on the reel while fighting fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power, increasing efficiency through strength.
Shimano's newest innovation in brake system technology, SVS Infinity, provides easy-to-manage, consistent spool control and brake force. With brake 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 when anglers need to adjust to the conditions or when they switch baits.
Super Free Spool eliminates friction on the spool shaft during the cast. Standard baitcasting reels are 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.
