Gentlemen ladies and anyone in between I welcome you all and in today's video
I want to take a minute and go over just how easy it is to enter for a chance to win this brand
spanking new shimano SLX and in addition to that
I want to go over the specifics on what makes this real special in comparison to every other SLX that's out on the market
Right now now in order to enter for a chance to win
All you have to do is follow me on my Instagram its Instagram calm Ford tackle advisers
And since JH tackle is the one that supplied this reel you have to follow them as well. They can be found at Instagram calm
/jh tackle, that's it or announce the winner on September 21st
And it's about as easy as you could possibly get in terms of entering a giveaway
Now what makes this real special if you watched my unboxing teardown and overview video?
You found that one of the knobs was flawless the other one had a little bit slop
so basically I reach in them and at a ball bearing in each knob now, they're a little bit smoother and
There's no slop. So that's whether you know, I think it's a big improvement or not
I
figured
You know pay attention to every little detail I could in this reel before I boxed it up and gave it away on
top of that
I took the spool polished the shaft polished it here polished it here anywhere
there could be any friction interface has been polished the
Drag surface on the main gear and on the base of the compression top discs have been mirror polished in addition to that
I also mirror polished the teeth on the main gear and opinion in
Addition to that. I've reached out to carbon techs and this reel has a single felt washer and you know the world's
You know gravitating towards carbon fibre, so I figure why not so even though it's not listed on their website
I sent two measurements
And I'm sure I'll hear back in the next day or so and we'll be shipping me
upgrade
carbon tax washer for the new SLX and
In addition to that a new little trick that I've been kind of doing on all the reels that have this drag started design. I
use my custom lube and
Put it in that get that cavity in that well
and it kind of makes it more or less like a double pane glass Mercedes like a
1996 Mercedes s-class
compared to like a 96 chef lumina
It really it kind of dulls out the sound but you still get that nice detent feel it's it's my preference
It's kind of cool
And in addition to that when I do reassemble the reel I'll be greasing it with
My custom concoction of lube and also throw in a box a little bit extra for the next time your real needs surface this stuff
Been using it now for about nine months and you guys have been asking me off the chain. Can I do like a maintenance?
instructional like general maintenance and
I've been wanting to but I
just didn't have enough time with this stuff to see how it lasted over the course of his season and
And now I'm ready and this stuff is better than anything else I've ever used
It's it's leaps and bounds better than the pen grease and it's the only grease that I found
that you know you
Have a Giri reel or a kind of a raspy reel and you grease it and it goes away
For like a second, but by the time you get it off the bench its back again
This is for the DIY guy. Is it that tweaked and tuned the reels and do the maintenance though?
You guys don't know what I'm talking about this stuff
It's it's almost permanent. It's weird. So I'll send a little bit that along with it and some bearing oil
That's kind of also a custom concoction and I'll also be purging and looping the bearings
so this thing is going to be about as hot as you can possibly get for a
Shimano SLX and it's with all that being said. I hope you guys enjoyed this
I hope you guys sign up for the giveaway. And and yeah guys, I read all your comments
I know you met me and found me on YouTube the whole Instagram thing. I get it
Not everybody has it. But when you do giveaways with other people, I'm not gonna argue with Josh
He said let's do it on Instagram. I'm fine with it. I do
apologize for you guys out there that can't have an opportunity when this
For simply not having an Instagram account and I'm with you on the whole social media thing
And I think in five years, I think I've posted ten times on my personal Facebook
I just you know, I spend time elsewhere
So I'll see if I can find another way to make it up to you guys
who aren't on my Instagram or don't have Instagram to begin with or just you know, fed up with social media and
Which a lot of us, I bet are and it's where that being said
You guys know what already I wouldn't be here without you guys. I appreciate every second of every minute that you guys spend here
I wouldn't have an opportunity
To give away this real because a big shop like J niche tackle. I
Wouldn't know who I was so they wouldn't have submitted this real. So again, this is all on you guys
I greatly appreciate all the time. You guys spent here and until next time guys tight lines and I'll see you soon
