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 Catana Overhead Casting Rod is every
bit as sharp as the Japanese sword it’s named after. It’s
constructed from tough graphite blanks, cork butt assembly, hardloy
guides and graphite reel seats allowing you to use all of its
strength and power for longer casts and fighting big fish. Whether
you’re spinning for Trout or flicking soft plastic lures for
Snapper, this rod suits your fishing requirements. So what are you
waiting for? Use the Shimano Catana Overhead Casting
Rod to take on your next big catch. You’ll be glad you
did.
