Shimano SLX A Glass Casting Rod

The all-new SLX series of rods provides anglers with a revamped and eye-catching aesthetic coupled with new Shimano rod technology to deliver tournament-level performance and versatility to cover any technique. The redesigned SLX lineup features Shimano's proprietary DIAFLASH technology — carbon tape diagonally wrapped in opposite directions on the outermost layer of the butt section to form an array of "X" shapes — to prevent twisting and enhance an angler's pulling power. The comprehensive series of casting and spinning rods expands upon the previous generation of SLX rods and now features two models specifically for anglers throwing large swimbaits. Donning Titanium Oxide guides, the redesigned SLX series features EVA split-grip handles with custom-etched logos to provide anglers all-day comfort and added performance whether it's a weeknight tournament or in pursuit of the next personal best.
