Shimano SLX 150 HG and Catana Overhead Combo 7ft 4-8kg 2pc

Stronger, lighter, tougher

The Shimano SLX 150 HG and Catana Overhead 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 so you can catch more fish at greater distances.

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 Casting Rod is every bit as sharp as the swords it’s named after. This rod features graphite blanks, Fuji guides and graphite reel seats, with cork grips and hard-wearing EVA on the bigger outfits. Whether you’re a newbie or an experienced angler, this rod perfect for you!

All Catana rods feature lightweight Sea Guide zirconian rings and premium graphite composite blanks. The butt assembly of the Shimano Catana Overhead Casting Rod feature split grip hard EVA for light weight, balance and comfort. This rod is guaranteed to provide you with many years of quality performance and enjoyment.
