The new series of Shimano SLX one-piece spinning rods has a full carbon blank with wonderful actions that are enhanced by the Shimano Diaflash at the bottom of the butt section. This is useful in lighter models, especially when confronted with large, powerful fish that strain the tackle. All models are equipped with Shimano Hardlite guides, light, sturdy and perfectly suited to mono and braided lines. To further enhance performance and complete the modern look, an ergonomic Custom VSS-style reel seat integrates seamlessly into the blank of spinning rods. There are 8 Spinning models to choose from, all with extra-fast action for precise casting of light and medium lures.
