Speed. Power. Comfort

The Shimano SLX 150HG A Vortex Baitcaster Combo is the perfect blend of strength and power that's built to last. With this pair you get all the power and comfort you need for those long, tough fights.

The Reel
An exceptional redesign of an industry benchmark, the all-new Shimano SLX 150HG A Baitcast Reel offers super-enhanced versatility and performance for tournament anglers and casual recreational fishos alike! This low-profile baitcast reel now features Shimano's premium SilentTune technology to improve rotation and overall reeling performance. Shimano built the SLX A with a Hagane body for increased durability and strength, so anglers can set the hook and land the fish of a lifetime. Boasting unsurpassed quality and performance at an unbeatable price, the Shimano SLX 150HG A Baitcast Reel is a must-have for anglers looking to upgrade their arsenal.

Hagane Body
The Hagane Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing on the reel while fighting fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power, increasing efficiency through strength.

SilentTune
By applying slight pressure to the bearing holding the spool, SilentTune reduces the vibration of the bearing during high-speed rotation. This improves the quietness while casting and the rise of the spool rotation becomes even smoother.

S3D Spool
S3D technology leads to significantly reduced spool vibration. By designing and constructing a balanced and uniform thin-wall aluminum spool, S3D creates an incredibly smooth feeling when casting and retrieving lures.

Super Free Spool
Super Free Spool eliminates friction on the spool shaft during the cast. Standard baitcasting reels are constructed in a way that when the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion gear is freed and can actually drag on the spool shaft. This creates friction that can limit the length of a cast. But baitcasting reels with Super Free Spool are constructed so that the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing. When the clutch is disengaged in preparation for a cast, the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in perfect alignment. The result: zero friction is placed upon the spool shaft and enhances casting performance.

The Rod
Want bang for your buck? The Shimano Vortex Inshore Jig Rod belongs to a family of dynamic and versatile rods that have been designed to fit directly into the Kiwi lifestyle. The Shimano Vortex family features a Power-Carbon blank specially designed to take the knocks, an integrated glass tip so as to retain sensitivity from the bite to the fight, and also enhance overall performance without compromise.

These features allow Kiwi anglers to take full advantage of the more traditional bait fishing techniques including the perfect match for the Shimano Baitrunner series, surfcasting options, landbased rock fishing, straylining with overhead reels and deploying baits in to the benthos for hapuku and the like.

The Shimano Vortex rod range has been designed by kiwi fishos for kiwi fishos - it's as simple as that!
