Shimano SLX and Samaki Zing Barra Baitcast Combo

Shimano SLX and Samaki Zing Barra Travel Combo

The Shimano SLX 150 and Samaki Zing Gen3 is one of the toughest and most versatile baitcasting combos on the market. Whether you're casting crankbaits into heavy structure for Barra or dropping heavy soft plastics out on the reef for Black Jew and Fingermark Snapper this combo is equipped to give you the best chance of hooking and landing the fish of a lifetime. The Samaki Zing Gen3 6ft can be used effectivley in many different applications, it is long enough to cast vibes and soft plastics across deeper holes or shallow divers up the back of gutters, helping the angler cover more ground. Although its fast taper and responsive blank subsequently allows the angler to expertly cast into tight structure. The reel is spooled with 135m of 30lb J-Braid x4, the abrasion resistance that comes with x4 braid is essential for Barramundi fishing, especially when creek fishing as the angler can expect to have lures end up in trees and snags. Additionally, when casting into tight structure it is likely that eventually a big enough Barramundi will graze the braid on a rock or submurged bit of timber, x4 braid will fare better in these situations than x8 or x12 braid.

This Combo Includes:

- Shimano SLX 150

- Samaki Zing Gen3 Baitcast 6ft 17lb

- Daiwa J-Braid x4 135m 30lbs

Inside the SLX’s Hagane Body, brass gearing delivers reliable cranking power and three SUS bearings and one roller bearing means everything turns smoothly. The reel incorporates a compact design that is comparable to a 70 sized Curado, however the reel has the same line capacity as Shimano’s standard 150 sized reels, fitting 150m of 20lb Power Pro. A longer 45mm Throw Handle working in conjunction with two model options featuring gear ratios of 6.3:1 and 7.2:1 means that the slow and methodical lure worker and the angler who likes a bit of speed are well covered by the new SLX series. On top of this, max’ drag settings of between 5 and 5.5kg provides some amazing stopping power should it be needed.
