An addition to the highly-touted family of Shimano SLX baitcasting reels, the SLX MGL 70 features Shimano’s low inertia MGL Spool in a compact 70-size reel. The MGL Spool excels in the castability of both finesse and heavy lures, while the compact size of the SLX MGL 70 makes it a perfect reel for light-line applications as well as flipping and pitching. But don’t count the Shimano SLX MGL 70 baitcaster out in heavy-cover situations because of its compact size, the Cross Carbon Drag provides more than enough stopping power to keep trophy bass out of the trees. The Shimano SLX MGL 70 baitcasting reel incorporates Shimano’s SVS Infinity Braking System to increase casting distance and enables anglers to achieve the ideal cast by easily making adjustments from the palming side plate to match changing weather conditions or casting a variety of lures. Just like the rest of the Shimano SLX family, the SLX MGL 70 baitcaster is built with the same tournament-ready, rigid HAGANE Body for increased durability and a lifetime of performance.
