Shimano SLX DC Baitcast Reel
Specially equipped with Digital Control braking, the Shimano® SLX DC Baitcast Reel brings Shimano's most advanced casting system ever into the realm of affordability. The brand's legendary quality is unmistakable in the low-profile SLX DC, starting with its palm-friendly, all-metal Hagane® body; extremely tight and rigid, this design prevents body flex, ensuring smooth, balanced winding with exceptional cranking power. Altogether, it's the perfect framework for the unmatched precision of Shimano's extraordinary DC braking technology, a computerized cast control system that monitors the reel's spool speed 1,000 times per second and automatically applies the correct brake pressure to prevent backlash and maximize casting distance. On the retrieve, you'll find the 4+1 bearing system to be lean and efficient, while the sturdy drag system provides up to 11-12 lbs. of maximum drag – more than enough to turn any bass headed for cover. Extended handle for extra cranking power.

Smooth and effortless.I’ve waited 4-5 years for Shimano to make a AFFORDABLE DC Baitcast reel. These reels are state of the art technology now at a affordable price for the weekend anglers! I bought 2 knowing they would meet up to my standards. I will be ordering 2 more of these reels over the winter to update some of my older reels. If you buy one of these reels you will be extremely satisfied and happy that you did. I hope they hold up for more then 3 years.

Quality ReelThis reel is well made. Adjusting the reel for fluro has been a little difficult but it seems to be better. Recommend using braid for smaller line diameter with leader material since the spool is smaller it can cast a mile. Good job Shimano!

Grand Slam from ShimanoThis reel is awesome! Same gears as Curado K so they tried and true. Cast ability is awesome and has the signature DC hum. I have the 7.2:1 and use it on a 7’5” medium heavy fast action rod for bladed jigs, swim jigs, football head jigs, Texas rigs, flukes and spinner baits. Compared to the Curado DC it is just as good. But does have minor differences as far as feel in hand. I have been fishing the SLX DC for a month and I’m impressed with it. Flipping a jig into cover is a breeze as well as bomb casting. I set mine pretty loose so I still thumb it a bit but not like I would all my other none DC reels. If you haven’t made up your mind I tell ya try it at least in the 7.2:1 or 8.2:1. Slow rolling a bladed jig is my favorite. Even though I have the Curado DC, SLX DC is at a great price point, so far after a month it is proving reliability and handles great.
