Shimano SLX Baitcasting Reels

Just put it on my fishing rod and its phenomenal. Really smooth reel for the awesome price. It casts awesome and easy to adjust and use the break system. Will review again when I land a fish.

The best bait caster I’ve ever used. Zero backlash, smooth casts, and incredible price.

I have owned many baitcaster reels. What I have found is that the more you pay, the more you get. That statement doesn't work for all products. I can cast this thing a mile, same as my Shimano Metanium DC. It's incredible, and for the price it's definitely worth it. Probably should be $250. The low profile is great, if you're hiking around and just nice. The noticeable difference between this and my Antares ($500) or Metanium ($500) is the crank is slightly chunkier, and less smooth. I mean, it's a small difference. Compared to a $70 silver max (very nice), or a $140 Lews combo (great) it absolutely blows it away. And I love my Lews. It's 20% better than a Daiwa Fuego FGCT100. Honestly would easily play $250 for this. Shimano is just unbeatable quality.

Smooth reel, a pleasure to fish with. Fits well in your hand and has no problem handling a black bass.

A great value for the money. I went back for another.

Even not as many ball bearings as some . Works really well for crappie to 40 inch northern. Like the drag system. For the price it's better them most. Got 10 straight days of fishing glide baits ... flawless

This Shimano baitcasting reel is durable and so smooth. With little to no backlash!! Coming from someone who is new to bait casting reels, this one is so smooth and backlashes dang near zero times!! But I do take the blame for the 1 time 🤣

This is my first shimano baitcaster, and it quickly became my favorite. It just works. Excellent drag quality, smooth casting, great feel. Will be buying more shimano reels in the future.

Sehr geile Rolle für wenig Geld läuft 1a hatte nach bisher 3wöchiger Nutzung nicht eine Perücke, diese Rolle kann ich nur empfehlen damit kann man gar nichts falsch machen, würde ich immer wieder kaufen

Excelente reel y muy suave y con una gran relación de recobro. Es bastante pequeño.

Estou muito satisfeito com a compra,foi muito rápido a entrega. Recomendo a todos

Bought this for my husband's birthday. He loved it! Great packaging as well. So happy Amazon sold Shimano items at an affordable price.

Great out of the box. But after a couple casts I needed to adjust the break and when I went to close and lock it I split my thumb open trying to lock it. Very disappointing and painful. I’m a beginner and researched this reel and most were positive. Debating whether to try another.
