SVS Infinity braking offers fine-tuned cast control with simple external adjustments, while SilentTune technology ensures smooth, quiet operation. A Cross Carbon Drag system provides reliable stopping power against big fish, making the SLX 70A one of Shimano’s most versatile reels for bass and light inshore anglers alike.
