Shimano SLX

“I do love the new groups Shimano put out but nevertheless I'll always be an Altus fan.”

“Shimano SLX has treated me VERY nicely as a first baitcasting reel”

“I purchased an SLX 150, and the casting distance was subpar. The overall control and stability of the brakes and spool tensioner felt inconsistent and unreliable.”

“I have a 6’6” cabelas tourney paired with a shimano slx and 30 lb PowerPro braid to a steel wire. If youre worried about your rod snapping, it wont. And unless you hook up a state record, youre not going to be spooled.”

“Compared to the shimano slx and ark gravity 3 I have, it’s blows them away. The mag braking is wonderful”

“The shimano slx is tanky, but its biggest weakness is the brakes are very outdated imo unless you spend the extra for the dc model.”

“I do have one Shimano SLX - and it’s my least favorite. Ordered two - one was broken first trip out.”

“Shimano SLX is more refined than Fuego, but i'd probably bet on fuego more in saltwater scenario.”

“nunca me ah fallado”

“having owned Abu, lews, Shimano and 13 Fishing baitcasters I would go with a Shimano SLX. For 100 bucks you're getting your money's worth. That baitcaster casts like a dream.”

“Also bought The Tatula 100 baitcast Reel and haven’t really touched my Shimano slx since .”

“I love my Revo4x reels. I think they are a much better reel than the Shimano SLX.”

“I like it way more then my $99 shimano slx.”

“Get a Shimano slx and your pain will go away and also you will get the accuracy of a bait caster. I had a lews carbon fire and after getting the Shimano I never looked back.”

“Personally I find the K to be a bit of a turd with the stock spool. I'd give up its better build and smoothness for the versatility SLX MGL, which I prefer otherwise.”

“I have a K and an SLX MGL. the SLX has a better fit and finish and It’s definitely a smaller reel. Prefer the SLX.”

“Last year I paired a Shimano SLX with a St Croix Bass X 7 ft rod. Absolutely love it. I was new to baitcasting and that reel was super easy to learn on, haven't had any ridiculous bird nests.”

“The shimano slx is akward to reel for me.”

“The SLX is nice, and its smoother, but just doesnt feel as refined as its Daiwa competitor.”

“Shimano SLX line of baitcatsers is fantastic. My gf who does not fish was able to pick it up and use it for the day easily I just had to turn all the brakes on and tighten up the spool tension.”

“My only complaint is it got geary feeling after extended use. And I had two of them , a slx and a slx xt. My Fuego ct , is still going strong.”

“I prefer my Tatula sv tw over my SLX DC in every way other than casting distance”

“I have 4 SLX dcs and they all have failed me at some point. The drag is suddenly reduce to a point where I can barely reel in my lure.”

“Like a shimano slx or curado k . I have both. I also use the diawa tatula sv reels for pitching and flipping applications . Any of those are great bang for buck reels and will get good mileage off”
