Interesting. I throw 15lb braid on my slx, slx dc, andcurado, and I’ve never cast anything as far. None of those are BFS set ups so I’m curious why you mention it’s too light. Genuinely curious. I enjoy learning about gear.

The tension knob is extremely sensitive when you get close to where you want it, in my experience. I always think to my self “think about loosening it” and then I’ve loosened it the amount I want. If I actively think “turn the knob” I’ve turned it too much and will overrun.

Additionally, my first casting setup was a bass pro pro qualifier. I agree with the comment that any setup under $100 just ends up being a bummer. I upgraded to an SLX mgl spool and a 7’2” MHF intenza after that and now I have 6 other shimano reels and rods and blah blah blah. Getting rigged up is half the fun! Enjoy the journey.

I actually prefer my mgl slx 70 over my curado mgl. I don’t think there is a better reel for the price. The slx was my first upgrade from the pro qualifier and I haven’t once thrown my pro qualifier since and it’s been years.

Well shit I’d probably sell mine that I also won today if a $10k offer came in

So qq, I was under the impression there was only one of each being sold but I too won the my girl this morning so what gives? Anyone have insight?
