Stronger, lighter, tougher
The Shimano SLX 150 HG and Catana Overhead Microjig
Combo takes the versatility of the Shimano SLX 150 HG Bait
Casting Reel and pairs it with the strength and reliability of the
Shimano Catana Overhead Rod. Its balanced design enhances
performance for fishing with slowjigs and microjigs.
The Reel
Inside the Shimano SLX 150 HG Baitcast 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 Baitcast 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 controlling
the cast. The individual brake weights when turned on are forced
outward at the beginning of the cast when backlashes most often
occu, causing friction that reducxes 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 maximumb 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 Micro Jig Rod is every
bit as sharp as the sword it’s named after. Featuring tough
graphite blank, Hardloy guides, cork and EVA grips plus graphite
reel seat to suit your fishing requirements. So fish with honour
like a samurai. Get your Shimano Catana Overhead Micro Jig
