Shimano SLX Casting Extra Fast 2.18m 7'2" 7-21g 2pc

The SLX series of spinning rods has been selected from Shimano's American bass range, where it has proven its high performance in a variety of fishing methods. The range offers very good value for money. The casting models also match perfectly with the very popular SLX baitcasting reels, while the reel models are designed to work with Nexave reels. If you're looking for a rod that combines affordability, modern design and versatile performance, the SLX is an excellent choice. The series is very popular with American bass anglers and is available in a wide range of both casting and reel models. These are also perfectly suited to European predator fishing and work well with many different types of lures and fishing techniques. Design-wise, the rods match both SLX and Nexave reels, allowing you to create a stylish and well-matched combination - without costing a fortune. The SLX rods are built with a full carbon fiber blade that provides a very nice action when drilling. This is further enhanced by Shimano Diaflash technology in the lower part of the blade (butt section), which is particularly beneficial in the lighter models when drilling bigger and stronger fish that push the tackle to the limit. All models are equipped with Shimano Hardlite guides that are lightweight, durable and work great with both nylon and braided lines. To further enhance performance while providing a modern look, the reel models are equipped with an ergonomic Custom VSS reel seat that blends neatly into the blade. The casting models instead use a Custom ECS reel seat with a carbon fiber locking ring. The range includes 8 reel models, all with extra-fast action for very precise casts with light to medium lures. The casting range is even wider with 13 models, with casting weights ranging from light 5-10 grams up to powerful models that can handle 30-120 grams.
