Bringing a tournament-ready finesse baitcaster into the popular lineup of SLX reels, the Shimano SLX MGL 70 Baitcasting Reels provide precision castability at a fantastic value. Equipped with a shallow, lightweight MGL II Spool, the SLX MGL 70 specializes in light line applications and helps anglers overcome the challenge of casting lightweight lures on baitcasting gear. The MGL II Spool requires less start-up energy due to decreased inertia and results in longer casts with reduced effort. With this technology, anglers can better utilize baitcasting gear for applications that were previously considered spinning tackle techniques. Not limited to just finesse fishing, the SLX MGL 70 is the perfect reel for anglers who have smaller hands, or for anyone who anyone willing to sacrifice line capacity for comfortable palmability and reduced weight. The MGL II Spool is equally as efficient at casting heavier lures, allowing this compact baitcaster to shine as the workhorse of your arsenal. Just like the rest of the SLX family, the MGL 70 is built around a rigid HAGANE body that houses Shimano’s Cross Carbon Drag system, allowing you to put the brakes on big bass with confidence despite the reel’s smaller stature. With the use of the easily adjustable SVS Infinity centrifugal braking, the perfect cast is always attainable regardless of conditions.
