SHIMANO SLX 7'0'' 1/16-5/16OZ (213M 2-9GR)

The SLX range of bait rods have been selected from the Shimano American Bass line where they have proven to be outstanding performers in a wide range of methods. Offering remarkable value, the Baitcasting models aesthetically match the hugely popular SLX Baitcasting reels, while the Spinning models match the Nexave Spinning reels. If you're looking for a combination of great value, modern looks, and versatile performance from your next lure rod, you need to check out the SLX. Very popular with American bass anglers, the SLX is available in a wide range of Baitcasting and Spinning options, which are also perfectly suited to European predator species using a wide variety of baiting techniques. Aesthetically they match the SLX or Nexave reels, so depending on your preference, you can have a matching combination that not only looks brilliant on the bank, but won't cost a fortune either. The full carbon blank of the SLX has a wonderful playing action which is enhanced with Shimano Diaflash at the bottom of the butt section. This is useful on lighter models, especially when playing big, powerful fish that are testing your tackle to the max. All models feature Shimano Hardlite guides which are light, strong and perfectly suited to mono and braided main lines. To further enhance performance and complement the modern look, an ergonomic Custom VSS style reel seat blends seamlessly with the blank of the Spinning rods, while the Casting rods utilize a Custom ECS design with a carbon locking collar. There are 8 Spinning models to choose from, all with extra-fast actions for focused casting of light to medium sized lures, whilst the Baitcasting range is even wider with 13 models, offering a variety of actions from 5-10g up to a power of 30-120 g of muscle flexion.
