The SLX XT is an improved and further developed version of the popular SLX, one of Shimano's best-selling baitcasting reels. It adopts the proven features of the original SLX, but as an XT model, it offers a more advanced spool brake thanks to the SVS Infinity technology.
The SVS Infinity braking system allows precise casting control via an external adjustment wheel and especially improves the performance with lighter lures.

For anglers who are looking for a reliable baitcaster with excellent value for money and modern technology, the SLX XT is an excellent choice. It is robust and reliable like all models of the SLX range and features the innovative SVS Infinity system, which allows the spool brake to be adjusted precisely and quickly using an external controller. This facilitates quick and precise fine-tuning of casting performance, especially with lighter lures.
The SLX XT, like the other models in the SLX series, is equipped with a high-quality HAGANE body made of lightweight aluminum, offered at an attractive price. In comparison to less stable housings made of inferior materials, this extremely torsion-resistant and durable body delivers excellent performance even under heavy load.

The SVS Infinity technology simplifies casting control as the spool brake can be conveniently adjusted via an external wheel - an advantage especially for the casting of lighter lures. An advanced S3D spool made of aluminum as well as an additional high-end ball bearing on the spool shaft make the SLX XT a refined version of the popular Shimano baitcaster and set new standards in its class.
