The SLX XT is replacing the 2016 CASITAS. The 2019 SLX XT will have a HAGANE body while the 2016 CASITAS had a composite body. Biggest difference with 2018 SLX is the application of new SVS INFINITY. This will offer the angler a much wider brake adjustment range compared to that of the VBS brakes in the 2018 SLX.

HAGANE BODY

• The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing on the reel while fighting a fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power.

SVS

• SVS Infinity, provides easy-to-manage, consistent spool control and brake force. With brake weights that use inner friction against the raceway during the cast, SVS Infinity controls spool speed for precision casting. The external adjustment knob provides for quick, precise adjustments when anglers need to adjust to the conditions or when they switch baits.

SUPER FREE SPOOL

• SUPER FREE SPOOL reduces friction on the spool shaft during the cast and enhances casting performance.
