It combines \u003cstrong\u003ereliable, solid performance\u003c\/strong\u003e with an attractive price point, making it a compelling choice not just for those new to baitcasting but equally for experienced anglers who want \u003cstrong\u003etop-level performance without paying over the odds\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDifferent Variants for Different Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eShimano SLX A\u003c\/em\u003e is available in several variants. The 70 denotes \u003cstrong\u003eright-hand models\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the 71 refers to \u003cstrong\u003eleft-hand models\u003c\/strong\u003e. The base model without suffix offers the slowest gear ratio at 6.3:1, suited \u003cstrong\u003eto resistance lures and slower retrieves\u003c\/strong\u003e. The XG steps up to 8.2:1 - the fastest option, designed \u003cstrong\u003efor quick lures such as twitchbaits, jigs or stickbaits\u003c\/strong\u003e. The HG sits in the middle at 7.2:1 and serves as the \u003cstrong\u003eall-round variant\u003c\/strong\u003e for anyone looking for a balanced compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e70 = right-hand model = handle on the right\u003cbr\u003e71 = left-hand model = handle on the left\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHAGANE Body Meets a Range of High-Grade Technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compact \u003cem\u003eHAGANE Body\u003c\/em\u003e of the \u003cem\u003eShimano SLX A\u003c\/em\u003e is \u003cstrong\u003elightweight\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003esits extremely well in the hand\u003c\/strong\u003e, while providing reliable protection for the internal components. Despite its price bracket, this reel packs in \u003cstrong\u003ea range of high-grade technologies\u003c\/strong\u003e that you'd expect to find in more expensive models - and you can feel the difference in use. The \u003cem\u003eSVS Infinity\u003c\/em\u003e brake system adjusts almost infinitely via an external dial to suit your lure weight and personal preference, reliably controlling spool rotation during the cast and \u003cstrong\u003ekeeping backlashes at bay\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Once you're playing a fish, the slightly longer handle comes into its own: it increases leverage and \u003cstrong\u003eimproves cranking power during the fight\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnologies at a Glance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHAGANE Concept\u003c\/strong\u003e: for long-term durability even under intensive use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHAGANE Body\u003c\/strong\u003e: ultra-robust housing for the gear system, with exceptional impact resistance and torsional rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMagnumlite III Spool\u003c\/strong\u003e: for outstanding casting performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilent Tune\u003c\/strong\u003e: reduces disruptive vibrations and stabilises the bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSVS Infinity Brake System\u003c\/strong\u003e: for precise control of spool rotation during the cast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCross Carbon Drag\u003c\/strong\u003e: exceptionally fine drag adjustment and a very smooth performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eS3D\u003c\/strong\u003e: reduced spool vibration during casting and retrieve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eS A-RB\u003c\/strong\u003e: shielded ball bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuper Free Spool\u003c\/strong\u003e: exceptionally low-friction free spool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Facts\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaitcaster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in multiple variants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft- and right-hand models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHAGANE Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSVS Infinity brake system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilent Tune\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Shimano","offers":[{"title":"71 A","offer_id":47814145966426,"sku":"SF36845.2","price":130.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"71 HG A","offer_id":47814145999194,"sku":"SF36845.3","price":130.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"71 XG A","offer_id":47814146031962,"sku":"SF36845.4","price":128.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0548\/9197\/0669\/files\/Shimano-SLX-71-A.jpg?v=1759437766","url":"https:\/\/www.pikeandperch.eu\/products\/shimano-slx-a","provider":"HechtundBarsch.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
