Inside the SLX's Hagane Body, brass gearing delivers reliable cranking power and three SUS bearings and one roller bearing means everything turns smoothly. The reel incorporates a compact design, however the reel has the same line capacity as Shimano's standard 150 sized reels, fitting 150m of 20lb Power Pro. A longer 45mm Throw Handle working in conjunction with gear ratios of 7.2:1 means that the slow and methodical lure worker and the angler who likes a bit of speed are well covered by the new SLX. On top of this, it's max' drag settings of 5kg providing some amazing stopping power should it be needed.
