The SLT provides smooth, fully impenetrable, dual sealed drag. Featuring Power Stack Technology; powered by a cutting-edge, alternating stainless steel and carbon disc stack, this reel engages the most powerful fish with ultra-smooth performance. The SLT's linear drag provides consistency and even resistance while the drag is adjusted. This allows anglers to dial in the perfect setting and amount of resistance. The new drag stack features a high and low-end hard stop to prevent over-tightening and free spooling. Bauer's reimagined clutch seamlessly transitions from the highest drag settings to provide the ultimate smoothness when fighting the biggest fish. The new drag stack features a high and low-end hard stop to prevent over-tightening and free spooling. This redesigned clutch (labeled for left/right hand retrieve) uses a threaded hub for easy on/off access to the drag system. No tools required! Internal components are larger for easy handling with tighter tolerances, and stand up to higher heat and torque when fishing tarpon, giant trevally and other big game fish. The fully water and debris sealed system assures anglers of successful performance in saltwater, mud, sand, and dirt. All SLT internal parts are Type II anodized with 6061 aluminum, 7075 aluminum, and stainless steel. The SLT is built to withstand a lifetime of drops, slams, and abuse.
