Hi all,
I just bought the Shimano SLX 150hg baitcaster reel today. I have paired it up with the Daiwa Revros Baitcaster rod (which has a cast weight of 10-30g and line from 6-12kg.). As this is my first time with baitcasters and I am not familiar with these types of reels, I was wondering if anyone who uses this exact same reel, or something similar, could help me with how to set it up and the adjustments that need to be made for the different lure weights. The type of braking system it has is the one where it has those plastic clips and you have to either flick it in or out.
Right now the lure I am using is a Mepps Agila Inline Spinner, and I have tried to cast it with my rod and reel, however the most it went was 4 meters.
However I want to also use this reel and rod for soft plastics such as the zmans with a 1/8 ounce jighead.
Any suggestions on how to set up this reel.
Thanks
Aaron
