Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The one downside is that it has scuffed already for only having it half a year, but what reel doesn't? If this is in your price point, i highly recommend because it performs like a reel at a much higher price point.

Shimano does it right. Very well made and reliable. You won't be disappointed with this reel. Extremely helpful and nice.

Silky smooth, buttery smooth drag, oversized handle and shimano reliability is all packed in this smaller palm sized high quality reel. Only issue is the drag dial.

These reels are amazing, and cast like a dream thanks to that svs infinity braking. They feel as nice as my higher priced shimanos and actually outcast them!

Cons

The reel is so tiny it barely takes any of the spool. The problem is it’s brake system.

Quality

I use this product to fish with and it was everything they said it was very happy with the product very happy with amazon service !

Waited to leave a review till i had a chance to fully test this reel, and boy am i happy with the performance of this light weight reel.

The dial is half covered with the body of the reel.

It's a basically a baby curado k.

Price

Low profile, lightweight, smooth and owesome braking system at this price is a winner!

If this is in your price point, i highly recommend because it performs like a reel at a much higher price point.

Competitiveness

For the money it’s the best reel i have and that includes a diawa, lee’s, abu, and kast king.

I fish bass tournaments all year long and have no problem trusting these slx xt reels.

I have around twenty or more baitcasting reels.

I own several shimano baitcaster reels curado dc, slx dc, curado mgl 150 and a jdm version slx dc xt70.
