- I finally do the cast comparison between the SLX and SLX XT to see if the SVS Infinity braking really makes a difference

I guess SVS Infinity actually works.... shocker
Hi,can you give me one baitcasting,plisss
THE REEL TEST honestly can’t wait for the MGL comparison, your videos literally decide where my next paycheck goes lol.. once again great content can’t get enough
EBay the best place to buy the SLX XT?
@@zechcole9455 they are gonna release a new Citica soon , that's why its on sale right now
ozzie 1226 just checked no lefty’s I appreciate it tho
I’m over here feeling like I hit the Daily Double every time that cast location arrow shows up.
i have noticed on my slx reels that spool tension is important, i set it it to where the lure slowly falls with no over run, and use only 1 brake and they cast great set up that way.
I LOVE when you break down a specific feature like this. It’s your strength.
I analyze medical documents, diagnosis, diseases, etc all day at work. Figuring out fishing tackle is easy compared to that :)
10x for the video. I have been waiting for this one :)
Kudos for the idea of slx vs slx xt vs slx mgl
Your Scorpion DC vs. Curado DC was SPOT ON!!!! I purchased 3 after your video. The difference was exactly as you described.
Thanks brother!
Great comparison as always. That's why we come to your channel. I've become a bit of a Daiwa fanboy, but all your Shimano content has me looking.
I got diawa everything except for a citica and I couldn't throw a texas rig on it like i wanted to so swapped it to my frog rod and its great just a thought for ya
@@Redman_30 I'm the opposite, I have all shimano reels except for 1 tatula sv and It is the only reel I will use for shaky heads, I love it.
Want the xt now damn . Nice comparison and break down
I have seen the MGL. Thats one I am considering. Waiting for your review. Great work.
Mine should be by Saturday
Can’t sleep I need the SLX MGL unboxing with the white mittens! Plus can’t wait for the battle of the SLX’s!
Keep up the great videos and thank you for making the breaks asymmetrical lol. 😂
Thanks for the casting comparisons. Love the Japan-esque sound effects!
I was trying to decide between the two and this seals the deal for me. It's the SLX XT for me! Thanks!
Did you ever get that slx xt?
I like the look of the Slx way more though
Can’t wait for the the field test those reels to see which one is the best
Did you get it and is it still holding up
If im using this series strictly for float fishing for salmon, im guessing all i would need is the SLX?
Does the added bearing do anything for performance in terms of how it smooth the reel is?
The point of the mag brakes is to make quick adjustments when changing lures so you don’t have to open the side plate. Also more precise adjustments
Sweet. I just bought that rod/reel combo for $130. I'm stoked for Spring to get here.
Where did you buy it at?
@@AaronTran01 Tackle direct
Do you recommend it?
@@sebastiannava7789 honestly haven't used it that much. I prefer spinning combos
@@user-bj9ln4em6n ahh okay thanks
It’s not over breaked, I just think you were throwing a really light lure
Just found your channel researching casting reels and I have a couple of questions. I'm new to baitcasters, looking for a reel to throw say 3/16-1/4oz ish lures. Should I get a bfs or what? Ahh my budget is in the $100-150ish hah I'd greatly appreciate some help!
I have been waiting for this video for a while so svs really works
i knew it worked but Shimano has never given us a level playing field with spool size and weight to find out just how effective it is
One last question... OK probably not the last question. How does the slx and slx xt compare to the reels on the 99 $ challenge?
Really strange I cant find any difference of distance between my VBS vs SVS inf. only ease of fine tuning
New batch of Fishband Brilliant GH100 reels up for sale April 1,2019 7:00-am. Out of three sellers 41 reels bought from USA customers 26 other countries. Two sellers only have limited supply of right hand models left. One seller sold out A forth seller is selling reels for $99 dollars a pop. I think someone holds your opinion quite highly, don’t you? I thought might get a laugh out of knowing this. By the way I bought two in case one breaks.
Spinning reel vs BFS!!! Ihave been waiting for 6 months
Brandon Chan oooooooh.
You MUST. Same rod... I Daiwa makes a rod that is changeable from spinning handle to casting handle.... so you’d be using EXACT same rod. Regardless.... I’ve been dying for this comparison. I’m too lazy to do it. 🤣
@@christopherduda7281 A spinning rod would have a very large first eye, far away from the reel itself. To allow the line to go freely of the reel. A Baitcasting rod does not need that, it instead has an eye closer to the reel, that is much smaller, as the baitcaster needs line control. Therefore the trigger rod has more, smaller eyes, and a rod made for spinning, isn't ideal for baitcasting, and vice versa.
The xt has way more adjustments, so when you eliminate the side tensioning on the SLX so you put it at a great disadvantage..... part of adjusting a bait caster is setting the drop rate with the side tensioning.....1/4 oz lure is on the light side for a bait caster I'd guess they'd be closer with a 3/4oz lure.... I'd expect the xt to be a better reel due to the fact it has 2 extra letters in the name plus the fact it's $40 more in price.
I stuck on the slx 150. When I feed the line through the eyelet does it go over or under the metal rod across the top on the reel?
Qual a que arremessa a maior distância?

OCD knuckle heads lol, i feel u bro😛
Do you know if the US version is rated salt like the Australian one
For a more accurate comparison you should throw a 1/2 - 3/4 oz lure with less wind resistance just
Will the SLX XT allow for throwing sub 1/8 oz lures?
great test, I can finally decide to buy the SLX XT
Fishing Addict you should wait and see how the MGL version performs! 😈
Which rod is that crucial? Do you have crucial gen2 6’11 dropshot?
I was just checking around the shimano sites world wide. In Australia the slx xt is replacing the Casitas...perhaps it may come to the US in the near future?
Hope so
Can you compare the new abu Garcia Ike signature power combo to any other combos you’ve done previously ??
Tell Ike to send it to me
So for the SLX’s is pushing the brakes outwards turning them on or vise versa?
Great video.
I just ordered the casitas but now I wish I got the slx xt
Just return it...I personally loved the casitas but once I caught a decent fish I returned it and will only buy aluminum frame reels because of that experience...
I love the casitas, solid reel. Picked up a used Casitas mgl haven't had a chance to use it yet.
What’s the difference between the two? Just an external dial?
It all depends on what size weight lures you use heavier weighted lures require more braking for controle
1. What does XT mean?
2. Can the XT model use the MGL 70 spool?
Great vid. Had to make an 11th hour purchasing decision between the two and this video and the comments made the xt an easy choice for me
Same here!
In my opinion the best reel for your money. But the issue i encounter with this reel is that it han an annoying noise when you retrieve after a month of use. Note i always clean my reel every week
Maybe you can return it for another? But yeah its a solid reel.. great looking too!
Will the 100$ Lew's cast further than those ?
I only have my SLX on 1 break and it works amazing no back lashes it’s perfect
Faxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Literlly this dude just garbage
Reel test sorry don't know your name brother slx dc vs slx dc witch one would win and thanks for your help
How do you like the slx xt vs the quantum accrurist
Would this reel go better with a medium heavy rod or medium rod?
Medium heavy
@@chasemurphy2270 why is that mate can you explain further, Im on a hunt for a rod for my slx but i do t target bass Im targeting mangrove jacks on bridges and pylons.. Thanks
Why a “Thumbs Down?” It is information... It can be applied, ignored or at least considered...Personally, I am waiting for the SLX MGL review.
What pole do you recommend for the
Shimano SLX 150 XT Casting Reel
the reel can do pretty much everything so that depends on what lure you are fishing.
Hi, I´d like to know if Casitas 150 spool fits in the SLX XT? thanks
No, the casitas spool is bigger
I don't understand English very well. what is the result?
What happen to all the slx shoot out?
Why are you adjusting internally. Isn't that what the outside dial is for?
I use one brake on both of these reels
I have an Slx and I have 0 of the breaks on. She’s throws fine and doesn’t even act like she wants to back lash
What kind of rod is that
What rod were you using?
Do you have a slx versus curado k vid? And where can I get a slx xt ? Thanks
I got mine from ebay
thanks I looked, guess I'll keep an eye out. I like the Slx but don't want to keep opening up the side cover. What are your quick thoughts on the slx versus the currado k
the K is the smoothest reel from $250 and under. Has a more solid retrieve too.
@@THEREELTEST One more quick question. You probably don't like the idea of combos but, the SDX combo $159 versus the Revo X combo $149?? Thanks in advance. Great channel, by the way.
For $99 would you get the shimano SLX or the Casitas?
Spend 30 more and get the xt 1000%.
More surface area never means more friction! Friction is a function of the coefficient of friction multiplied by the normal force. The brass ring being angled and moving probably applies more force ( by deflecting them more) to the shoes to slow the spool, not more surface area. Common misconception about friction.
more surface area means more friction. Thats why when you want more stopping power in a car, you put bigger brake rotors and pads
@@THEREELTEST They are larger to disipate heat (cross sectional area is a large factor in heat disapation aka add fins to things.) and house beefier springs that apply more force.
@@THEREELTEST You can google the friction equation if you want. nothing about area at all. I was even asked this in an interview question with GE for a mech eng position. What would take more force to move. A cell phone laying flat on its largest surface or on its skinny sides basicly. The answer is they require the same force to move despite a larger surface area laying on its back side in the first choice.
I still say the larger the brake surface area the more friction it creates
@@THEREELTEST You can say anything you want. Just unfortunately it is not correct.
Does the SLX MGL have the SVS Infinity brakes?
yep
lars 70 spool capacity in Shimano speak
Did you watch the video?
how many grams have the lure
Slx xt or tatula type r ?
Muez Wahid type r is ment for flyping
Is slx xt or scorpion 70 better for casting 1/4oz?
ill probably say the Scorpion because of the line capacity
@@THEREELTEST thanks
Where did you buy this and how much?!
look on Ebay
Are they the same size?
One's a lil lower than the other. Thanks for the concern though!
You are running 100% braking power on one reel (4/4) and only 66% breaking power on the other reel (4/6), not really a valid comparison. would have been better off running 100% on both or 50% on both ie 2/4 and 3/6.
Is the fit/finish better on the XT?
Id have to say yes
@@THEREELTEST Looks like it. Thanks for the reply and your videos! Can't wait to see the SLX DC
You should buy SLX DC for complete set of SLX family. lol
what type of line and lb test are you using? type of rod?
If I use centrifugal brakes I never put more than 2 on
Just a simple request, can you use only one standard unit for the measurement..you viewer are not american , so different country use different standard measurement unit. So if you want to use feet, just stay with feet and not include yard for the next cast..it give a lot of trouble for the conversion.
D. Cerozlay yards are almost the same as meters
Not to sound antsy but where is the slx mgl?
in transit
THE REEL TEST oh okay do you think the mgl has SVS Infinity?
yes
I wonder what slx mgl is going to do
Its just a lighter shallower spool. Its replacing the Casitas MGL
Just got one new for 115
Hi,, please compared shimano slx xt beetwen kk speed demon pro,, thanks
Hijrah Saputra I have the speed demon pro and I’m not sure if it’s gonna hold up to even a year. The gears are Squeaky just after a couple months of use. I suggest you get the SLX XT
@@heeeck8060 thanks bro
Kastking reels are junk.. I'd go with a Shimano....
I purchase slx xt products with reference to the video. ^^
I've been searching and searching for an slx xt 151 No Bueno :(
the distance is gonna be shit because the length of your rod also matters
When the lure hits water you gotta stop the line or it’s always gonna backlash
To me it looked like a good 20 foot farther
Feet is plural for foot
so that means you have taken alot of feet up your ass?
how do you order your reels?
Jon Palmer he bought the slx xt on eBay, just be careful when you buy on sketchy websites
The break that sits on the outside is something called mechanical brakes wich controll in the end of the cast
And the one inside is the regular six pin that Control the begining of the cast.
So of you arr geting backlash in the begining you need to det the internal break higher and if you are geting backlash in the end you need to Change the mechanical breaks👍
it helps, but not really....
i use both of them... but the first SLX is the BEST ! Almost no backlash on 2 brakes on & no side to side spool movement...
XT sucks. mm
Hopefully u can make comparison between slx xt vs revo x inshore..
You have to have your thumb on the reel bruh I ligit use my slx with 0 brakes on and can cast effortlessly and can get to about 70 yards you just have to have you thumb on the line.
I went with a guy who uses almost 0 brakes or spool tension and as long as you dont throw it too hard that is the best way to get a long cast
I have the SLX. I can't cast far.
Ur breaks are not set then
@@henryhillhouse5544 I'm using only one brake with 15lb mono.
@@brokenarrowez try setting ur spool tension lower
Great video ,done subs,can you give me one baitcasting pliss man
Well you didn’t hold your finger on it dummy when the slx back lashed
Ugh. You're not getting the point of the infinity system...it controls the end of the cast. This is apples to oranges.
No offense to this guy but he’s not putting those reels to there full abilitie.
Lol. that’s gonna happen when you’re throwing a 1/4 oz weight
No fish
Misleading demo, and misleading data analysis. Missed the point. The landing analysis are not accurate too
You have terrible thumb control. You should have used a half once bait. And you like the xt more so you are saying it’s better every time. SMH.
I must have gotten a defective one then. Because mine is a piece of shit. If I put any of the brakes on and use the eternal settings, I have to increase the drag to even get the spool to turn. But then it reduces my external brake settings once I start reeling. It's grindy, rough and noisy. I expect better for my money.
if you knew how to float your thumb over the fluff then you could make great use of 1 brake on the slx. of course it isn't going to go much further than with 2 brakes if you let the line blow up lmfao
thats not the point jackass.. you could technically turn off all the brakes and just use thumb, it must hurt for you to be this stupid
Its more about what technique youre doing. Anyone who is good with baitcasters should not backlash hardly at all. Once you learn a baitcaster you should be able to tune it to wear you don't have to hardly use youre thumbs at all. Especially the ones that have more advanced breaking systems. Atleast the good brands like LEW'S, shimano, diawa, abu and pfluger. Cheap Chinese reels like kast king and shishimo and favorite wich are all the same manufacturing. Its a whole saler company. They are harder to do it with
