The Reel
The standard of versatility and performance.
It's a tall task to redesign an industry benchmark for versatility and performance, so the Shimano team went to work developing the all-new SLX A series of low-profile reels. Designed for tournament anglers and weekend warriors alike, the all-new SLX A series now features Shimano's premium SilentTune technology to improve rotation and enhance overall reeling performance. Shimano built the SLX A with a HAGANE Body for increased durability and strength, so anglers can set the hook and land the fish of a lifetime. Unsurpassed quality and performance at an unbeatable price, the all-new SLX A series of reels is a must-have for anglers looking to upgrade their quiver.
Reel Features:
- HAGANE is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.
- HAGANE BODY
The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing on the reel while fighting a fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power, - SILENT TUNE
By applying slight pressure to the bearing holding the spool, SilentTune reduces the vibration of the bearing during high-speed rotation. This improves the quietness while casting and the rise of the spool rotation becomes even smoother. - SVS
SVS use centrifugal force, rather than magnets, to aid in controlling the cast. When turned on, the individual brake weights are forced outward at the beginning of the cast. - S3D
S3D SPOOL leads to significantly reduced spool vibration. This creates an smooth feeling when casting. - SUPER FREE SPOOL
SUPER FREE SPOOL reduces friction on the spool shaft during the cast and enhances casting performance.

The Rod
The Catana series offers anglers with a range of well-forged baitcast rods that provide precise and reliable performance while covering off a range of light-tackle fishing applications. Built with a 24-ton Toray graphite blank, the Catana achieves a remarkable level of lightness and sensitivity. Aluminium Oxide Seaguides are used throughout the range to ensure trouble-free line management. While custom Shimano reel seats, a combination of both EVA and Cork grips, and metal winding checks make sure the Catana looks as good as it performs. If you are looking for a well-honed lure rod that will elevate your fishing experience, then look no further.
