THE WORLD’S SMOOTHEST, FULLY IMPENETRABLE, DUAL SEALED DRAG
At Bauer, their mission is to go beyond expectations in design, function, and aesthetics with any reel we make. When they started building our next saltwater and big game reel, we focused on reliability, strength, and intuitive function. Their next vision was clear: Reimagine our time-tested, ultra smooth and class-leading clutch mechanism by strengthening the system, optimizing the power of a carbon fiber and stainless-steel drag, and sealing it in a bombproof package.

Power Stack Technoloty
The newly designed drag system is powered by a cutting-edge, alternating stainless steel and carbon disc stack, that effectively disperses heat and facilitates ultra-smooth engagement when fighting the world ’s most powerful fish.
An oversized low-durometer rubber O-ring provides consistency throughout the drag adjustment range, allowing for even resistance with every click of the drag knob. Many competitors’ drag systems inconsistently increase in pressure - either too quickly, or too slowly. The SLT’s drag is linear with every click, allowing anglers to dial in their settings for the perfect amount of resistance.
Additionally, the new drag stack features a high and low-end hard stop, preventing over-tightening and free spooling.

Smooth Clutch
The SLT features a re-imagined and incredibly smooth clutch mechanism. Inspired by the tried and true clutch that revolutionized the fly reel industry for two decades, the reimagined clutch seamlessly transitions from the highest drag settings and provides ultimate smoothness when fighting unforgiving fish.

Drag System
The SLT’s drag system is a marvel of function, performance, and simplicity. Utilizing a threaded hub for easy on/off access to the drag system, the re-designed clutch is labeled for left/right hand retrieve, providing anglers with fast and easy change, without the use of any tools. All internal componentry has been made larger for easy handling, tighter tolerances, and is made to take higher heat and torque that come with fishing for tarpon, giant trevally, and arapaima among others.

Durability When It Matters
For anglers that travel around the world to remote locations, saving an ounce in physical weight isn’t worth a malfunctioning reel. That’s why the SLT is designed to have the most durable drag package on the market.
Featuring a fully water and debris sealed system, hardcore anglers can rest easy knowing the SLT can withstand days of saltwater, mud, sand, and dirt without fail.
All SLT internal parts are Type II anodized with 6061 aluminum, 7075 aluminum, and stainless steel. The SLT’s internal and external components resist wear and tear, and will withstand a lifetime of drops, slams, and overall abuse.
