My new SLX 150 XG arrived for another toy I will have in hand over the next few weeks. But that's a whole other thread. ;)
This will be my 3rd SLX, but what separates this reel from my other 2 SLX's is the ratio.
This will be my first 8.2:1ratio Shimano reel I have ever owned. I'm looking forward to fishing with it.
For the price point, Shimano has done a good job introducing this particular line of reels.

Does anyone have this reel with the same speed ratio?

Congrats on the reel. I've got three or four of the high speed reels and absolutely love them. I use them when I probably shouldn't at times but but pitching baits, frogging, or anything you need to get back in quickly after working the strike zone they are the cat's meow.
I totally agree the SLX is a home run in its price point.

I have the exact same one as of yesterday. BPS had it for the same price. Going to put it to the test today if the weather holds!
