A couple months back, I purchased the SLX MGL 70 XG, for my light to medium top water applications. I got to say, I LOVE this reel. In this video, I share why this reel is so good! Enjoy!

You forgot to add you can't lock the side plate until you free the drag knob and loosen the side setting, and then it will lock.  I lesson I learned the hard way. ~b~

You are absolutely right! Too many things are going thru my head when I shoot one of these videos. Thank you for reminding me. I guess I need to buy a new reel for another review! Lol!! Tx George!
