I picked up a used Shimano Aldeberan MGL 51. It's used, but the braking is different, see pics. I've not seen this before the braking. It has 12 extra strong magnets that I pulled off for now. Previous owner from what I learned modded it to this braking. Checking out the reel, seems all to be workin...

Thank you Bantam1! As much as I'd like to get the new SLX 70, if there is no change to frame size, then I'll stick with my SLX MGL 70. It performs quite well for me. Thank you again, Sir!

Hi Bantam1, I am curious if the 2024 SLX 70 is a smaller Frame than the SLX MGL 70. Or are both similar frames?

I have the Shimano SLX MGL 70 Casting Reel. I am curious is the frames are the same. I'm interested with the 2024 SLX 70, if there's much difference from that and the SLX MGL 70. I know the 2024 model has Silent Tune and weight differences is minimal. Would it be worth getting the new SLX if I have ...

Thank you Slazmo, I have the 301E handle on my 201DHSV! No problems with installation. And I switched to 201DHSV handle to my 101D reel and again, no problems.

I'm going to keep the knobs the same. I'm however going to put the 201DHSV handle on my 100D reel, I like the wider knobs of the 200DHSV for the 100D.

Wow! Many thank you's!!! I'll order a 301E handle for my 201DHSV!

Will a 301E paddle handle fit and work with an older 201DHSV?

Wondering if any of you still have this reel. I'm curious how long the hand is, not sure if it's 100mm length.

Also would a Curado 300/301E fit and work on the 200/201DHSV? And will the handle work for either right or left hand reel?

I'm looking to upgrading the stock paddle handle on my Curado 301E and was wondering of the Tranx 301 paddle handle will fit and work the 301E.

Symetre sounds much better...

The small SVS dial on the exterior of the reel, can that bee loosened from the back screw? Mine is tight and hard to turn. Please advise.

I'm waiting to get this reel in March, it's on order.

I am inquiring if a reel handle like the one on the Concept A or in trick shop will be available in left hand. Or how do I go about getting a Concept A left hand reel handle and will it work/fit on the Origin TX left hand reel?

Why is the Symetre out of the spinning reel line up? They were great reels. Will that line make a come back someday?

A few weeks ago, I though the reel seat on my Calcutta 51; the ends were narrow that when I mounted on a casting rod, it would have movement. I finally found out that the 2 rivets holding the reel seat onto the reel are actually what are loose. Just so much that when I mount on a rod, you can move t...
