Shimano SLX XT-A casting

The new SHIMANO SLX XT A left-handle casting reel is an advanced version of the very popular SLX XT, one of Shimano's best-selling baitcasting reels. Retaining the features that made the old SLX XT so popular, the “XT” A version features a state-of-the-art SVS Infinity brake adjustment system. This technology uses an external adjustment ring to optimize casting control, particularly improving performance with lighter weight lures. The Shimano SLX XT A reel is equipped with the SVS Infinity system, which allows for quick and precise control adjustment via an external dial. This enables fine-tuning of casting accuracy with great ease. The Shimano SLX XT A has a lightweight HAGANE aluminum body and the SVS Infinity system, which simplifies launch control through the use of an external adjustment dial. The XT has an aluminum S3D spool and an additional ball bearing near it.
