Shimano SLX A 70/72

Shimano SLX A 70/71 low-profile baitcasting reel, combining a lightweight and rigid HAGANE body, finely adjustable casting brake, and vibration-damping spool technology.

The SLX A 70/71 is an excellent choice for those transitioning from spinning reels to baitcasting reels or seeking a strong price-to-performance ratio. Its compact and ergonomic design makes the reel comfortable to handle, even for smaller hands.

The reel features the SVS Infinity braking system, with an external adjustment knob allowing nearly stepless adjustment according to lure weight and casting style.
