The Reel
Inside the Shimano SLX 150 HG Baitcaster Reel Hagane Body, brass gearing delivers reliable cranking power and three SUS bearings and one roller bearing means everything turns smoothly. The reel incorporates a compact design, however the reel has the same line capacity as Shimano's standard 150 sized reels, fitting 150m of 20lb Power Pro. A longer 45mm Throw Handle working in conjunction with two model options featuring gear ratios of 7.2:1 means that the slow and methodical lure worker and the angler who likes a bit of speed are well covered by the new SLX. On top of this, the Shimano SLX 150 HG Baitcaster Reel's max drag settings of 5kg provide some amazing stopping power should it be needed!

VBS
VBS uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to aid in controlling the cast. The individual brake weights, when turned on, are forced outward at the beginning of the cast when backlashes most often occur, causing friction that reduces the speed of the spool. Once the spool speed begins to slow, the pressure lessens, allowing the spool to continue spinning. The result is a much more consistent spool speed that is easier t manage and takes advantage of the reel's maximum casting distance.

Hagane Body
The Hagane Body is produced from high rigidity aluminium or magnesium. This creates stiffness and impact resistance, while at the same time eliminating flexing of the body. The result is a rock solid housing and support of the moving internal gearing and greater efficiency throughout the reel.

The Rod
The Shimano Eclipse Baitcast Rod is made especially for newcomers to the world of baitcasting. Thanks to its sturdy graphite construction, you can keep fishing without worrying about breaking your rod. The Shimano Eclipse Baitcast Rod has a simple design that’s easy to use and easy on the budget.

Durable and user-friendly
This rod features a powerful butt and mid-section designed to absorb the pressures of repeated use. Grip the rod comfortably as your hands fit snugly on its ergonomic Eva grips. Now you can refine your skills and fish to your heart’s content!

Clear Glass Tip
No more worrying about getting your line all tangled! This rod has a clear glass tip that lets you see your line clearly and prevent tangling. It’s seamlessly integrated with the rest of the blank for added strength and durability. Plus, the glass tip design adds to the rod’s bite sensitivity.
