2024 SLX with MGL 3 spool.

That sucks that your slx dc xt is starting to feel Geary. Did servicing it help with the geary feeling? What did you use yours for mainly? I have one and it’s as smooth as the day I got it and it was most used for chatterbaits and crankbaits. Aside from my zillion sv I used this slx dc xt just as much. I hope it doesn’t get Geary. Such a fun reel.

It helps a little, the problem I use SLX along side with Alpha and Zillion, make it feel worst than it should be. My right hand 6.2 still smoother than left XG. It might be I use left hand a lot more and pull from snagging quite a bit.

Ahhh well I guess I’ll feel it soon then. Aside from using this slx dc xt my other reels are ‘21 Zillion Sv (have 5) and Steez A2 and ‘22 Zillion HD. Oh well it’ll be fun while it lasts. I have a few other reels but they’re just catching dust in their boxes. LoL. That hyperdrive ruined other reels for me.

I'm assuming here, so you know how that goes...haha.

Are you saying you pull snags off with your reel? If so, that is likely a big contributing factor in so far as pinion and main gears getting damaged, and even IAR bearings.
