    I started my journey with the slx. Not having the external adjustment really helped this beginner. I believe in the product. Have a bunch or the DC my favorite for sure. Thanks for the awesome review Debo

    Great video! I really like the gear reviews. SLX DC is a little loud, but you need external adjustments for a baitcaster. I think abu revo x has a funny placement of side plate opener. Keep doing these types of videos very informative.

    The two springs setting straight up is the spring tension on the spool. When you put the side plate on it loads the springs that push against brass idle gear that the spool pin sets in. Just like a Diawa.

  • @oldeschoolbob1022
    @oldeschoolbob1022 Рік тому +1

    Thank you, Debo! I have the SLX MGL on a 13 Fishing Omen Black 7-4 MH Moderate fast. Love that combination for its versatility and feel. I think it's a great idea to focus on this price point, as there's a lot of competition among brands. Keep up the great work!

    Love your reviews - great camera work to focus on the details you are explaining opposed to others trying to explain what their cameras are not focusing on. Stay honest and consistent, and those that go "it didn't work for me" are just trolling and obviously needed a different product (ie square peg into round hole?) Be blessed and tight lines!

    • @DEBOSFishing

  • @mexikanman
    @mexikanman Рік тому +4

    I learned real quick on the SLX, that when you want to access the braking system you have to open that casting tensor knob all the way. If not, you could break the latch that swinging door.

    I would go with the XT version, but then again I rock the Chronograph Mgl whenever I can! Except Frogging Debo got to love the Daiwa Tatula 150! Btw silent tune come in different ways, some springs, o-rings, washers or bushings. As long as they work ok with me. Thanks for the review!

    I benefited a lot from your 100 dollar workhorse reviews previously. That LFS is still one of my favorites. Very curious on the new SLX and that Abu Garcia. Workhorse head to head!

  • @willtrax71
    @willtrax71 Рік тому +1

    Great Video my Friend and I have the Caius and the new LFS and I know the Magnetic Brakes are much easier to dial any Lure in compared to the Centrifugal Brakes. I struggle with lighter 1/4 ounce stuff with the Shimano but the Lews will Zing anything I tie on and dial in quickly. I would like to try the SLX though and I will say that 40 dollar Caius is as smooth as any Reel I’ve ever handled. I was able to get both second hand for under 100 bucks new without a box of course on YOUR recommendation from the EBay and I couldn’t be happier thank you. Semper Fidelis my Friend

  • @eng62ine
    @eng62ine Рік тому +1

    Stand up review by a stand up guy- bonus points because you got the lefty! Question- is there a bearing where the gear shaft connects to the frame? On the old SLX it’s just a bushing and on theres an actual bearing on the LFS. I don’t think it’s a deal breaker, but thought there should be a bearing there instead of a bushing

    Man after my own heart, fishing left handed is the only way I fish. Crazy since I am right handed but feels right. I have several Revo X that are several years old that I am looking to upgrade. I may have to look at the Shimano’s to upgrade. Thanks for the great reviews on the reels. 🔥

  • @OsamaBinDarrel
    @OsamaBinDarrel Рік тому +1

  • @willtrax71
    @willtrax71 Рік тому +1

    I did notice during research that a lot of the Reels have the same Braking, the dials and number of magnets are 5 in the Lews and the Abu Revo. I can’t see a better Reel for 100 bucks or less than the Lews LFS I really can’t especially for an Old Beginner DAV like me it’s so easy to dial in.

  • @JoeyBasstard
    @JoeyBasstard Рік тому +1

  • @adwhite804
    @adwhite804 Рік тому +1

    Always have been more of a Diawa guy. But looking at that size comparison alone. Even with larger hands , just seems a lot easier to deal with. Not a fan of the internal only braking but. I see the use that hing wing deal , like last king has for a couple years. I do like that as well . Nice to know I'm not dropping a side plate in the river.

    If you could only have 2 rod to bank fish with. 1 being a baitcaster the other a spinning rod. And you had to be able to throw everything from top water, chatterbaits, and Texas rig to weightless, Ned, and drop shot. What two rod setups would you use?

    Slx vs lfs. So tough. Both are reliable, fit well, and work. Differing brake systems with metal frames. If I think I’m gonna mix in some pitching I grab the slx because I like centrifugal brakes better than the external magnetic. That’s about the only edge the slx has over the lfs. Other than that for $99 slx is perfect for bank fishing.

    Would love to see a reel comparison of the $100 reels where you try different weight categories for lures. Basically how the reel does when casting lighter lures like a weightless senko or heavier baits like jigs/ 6” mag draft (stuff that doesn’t necessarily requires a dedicated reel like bfs or giant swim baits).
