Shimano Reel SLX MGL 71 XG LH
SLXMGL71XG
The SLX MGL is the lightest version in the popular SLX family. The compact body, which fits perfectly in the hand combined with distinctive styling and a super-light MGL spool, makes this reel the perfect light lure baitcaster. The SLX MGL offers excellent value for money.
SLX is an established name in the baitcasting reel market and has an enviable reputation for its quality and performance. If you are looking for a reel that easily casts smaller, lighter lures, then the more compact SLX MGL is for you! With the MGL spool, it is easier to cast lightweight lures in various ways. With the SLX MGL, you can easily flip, pitch, skip, or cast overhead.
Although the SLX MGL is designed for light lines, it still offers great versatility and is strong enough to handle medium-sized lures and large strong fish. This is thanks to the strong HAGANE Body, brass gearing, and Cross Carbon Drag. Level Wind prevents the (braided) line from digging into the spool and causing tangles. But the main reason to use this reel is the combination of the MGL spool, SVS Infinity braking, and the S3D spool, which together ensure the SLX MGL excels in finesse fishing with light lines and light lures.
