Shimano SLX XT A Baitcasting Reels

Description
Shipping & Return

Expanding upon the reputation that has made the SLX series of low-profile reels a household name, the all-new SLX XT A adds to the benefits seen within the SLX A. In addition to SilentTune technology to achieve near-noiseless and an overall smoother reeling experience, the SLX XT A lineup incorporates Shimano's SVS Infinity Braking System so anglers can make on-water adjustments whether throwing heavy or light lures using an easy-to-access external dial. The lightweight, rigid-metal aluminum HAGANE Body provides an ultra-rigid platform for solid hooksets and uniform reeling power. Available with three gear ratios and left and right-handed configurations, the fully redesigned SLX XT A caters to anglers targeting trophy fish with a variety of fishing techniques.

Features:

SilentTune: Smooth and Quiet Reeling Experience
SVS Infinity: Easy, Fully Adjustable Braking
Rigid-Metal Aluminum HAGANE Body

HAGANE Body Baitcasting
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.

HAGANE
HAGANE is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.

Super Free Spool
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.

SilentTune

By applying slight pressure to the bearing holding the spool, SilentTune reduces the vibration of the bearing during high-speed rotation. This improves the quietness while casting and the rise of the spool rotation becomes even smoother.\

S3D Spool

S3D technology leads to significantly reduced spool vibration. By designing and constructing a balanced and uniform thin-wall aluminum spool, S3D creates an incredibly smooth feeling when casting and retrieving lures.
