Go to You Tube, and search Ladybass for her video where she compares all three SLX reels. I’m ordering two more of the XT reels today. Pay attention to the three different gear ratios they offer as well as left or right hand retrieve. Get at least one today. **Q: Photo shows the basic slx model, not the slx xt. i ordered the slx xt 151 xg from this listing and received the basic slx 151 xg model.** A: You should’ve been able to to tell by the price, if it’s $99 then it’s the slx, $129 then it the slx xt **Q: What is the different between hg and xg model** A: Think of the base SLX as the low gear, the HG as the "high gear" and the XG as the "extra gear" in terms of their gear ratios. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best reel I've used *by G***H on 23 January 2025* Love how Compact it is works a1 better than I thought it would ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A diamond in the rough. *by C***B on 2 September 2023* Used on special occasions.
