Top 3 Things You Need to Know About the New SLX Rods

New for 2022, Shimano redesigned the SLX series of rods. Here are the top three things you need to know about the new lineup of SLX A rods.

1. DIAFLASH: A new SLX blank design that includes Shimano's DIAFLASH technology reinforces the blanks from the butt to the first guide to improve durability and prevent twisting under heavy force like casting or fighting big fish.
2. Versatility: The SLX series covers anglers in many areas with 23 models covering everything from casting, cranking, swim baits and spinning rods from 6'9" to 7'10" lengths, and Medium Light to Heavy powers are available.
3. The newly updated cosmetics showcase the SLX's curb appeal with a laser-etched logo in the EVA foam handles that were reshaped for added comfort.
