Features

  • HaganeBody - The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power. Iy'ss efficiency through strength.
  • SVS Infinity - Shimano's newest innovation in brake system technology, SVS Infinity provides easy-to-manage, consistent spool control and brake force. With weights that use inner friction against the raceway during the cast, SVS Infinity controls spool speed for precision casting especially when using lighter lures. The external adjustment knob provides for quick, precise adjustments for either the conditions or when you switch baits
  • S3D Spool - This technology leads to reduced spool vibration. By designing a balanced and uniform thin wall aluminum constructed spool, S3D creates an incredibly smooth feel casting and retrieveing lures
  • Super Free Spool - Was designed to eliminate friction on the spool shaft during the cast. In standard baitcasting reels, hen the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion gear is freed and actually can drag on the spool shaft creating friction that can limit the length of the length of the cast. With Super Free, the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing so that when the clutch is disengaged for a cast, the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in perfect alignment.

Description

The SLX DC is designed for effortless casting, in any conditions. Constructed on the same compact, rigid and versatile platform as the popular SLX bait reel. And with the addition of Shimano's unique DC braking technology, the SLX DC does not put any compromise on throwing performance. The DC braking system means that this reel has brains! The DC system calculates the appropriate braking force 1000 times per second. This prevents backlash and at the same time optimizes the distance and accuracy of the cast. It makes fishing with a baitcasting reel very easy and effortless. No need to change the settings of the reel when the weather or lure changes. The DC system will do this for you! This results for more efficient fishing time and better focus for the angler. And the best news for the anglers is this: with the SLX DC this technology is available for an unbelievable low price.

  • Shimano Quality/Wrong Retrieve Speed
Size: Gear Ratio: Unknown (XG) | Size: 150 Unknown
The reel quality speaks for itself. It's a mid range Shimano DC reel with 7.2:1 retrieve ratio. The issue is I ordered the 8.2:1 retrieve ratio (same price). The box indicates the reel is a 150HG, not 150HGX in big characters all over the box. The box states the retrieve speed is 7.2:1. The sticker on the box is mislabeled as SLX DC 150 (no mention of HG or HGX) and lists the retrieve speed as 8.2:1. So someone is looking at that label (probably barcode selected) for retrieve speed and not looking at the model number on the box. It's not at all uncommon to pick the wrong item from a shelf if the label is incorrect, and I do not want to go through the hassle of return and retry. I just wanted to try the faster retrieve speed for saltwater fishing (spanish macks anyone?). I don't fault the seller much, just took off 1 star, but I'd suggest the seller check their inventory to ensure the labels on the boxes accurately reflect the content, to avoid shipping fees for returned items and replacements. ... show more
