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.

  • exceeds all expectations.
I gave one to my grandson for his birthday. He is now outcasting his dad and now his dad can't stand it and is buying his own.

  • SLX DC reliability issues
Sent in twice for repairs . I would expect more for a $200 reel. The DC system is amazing but the components of the SLX are not on par with other reels like the Scorpion, Curado, etc.

  • Get what you pay for
If you’re like me and just got into Baitcasters. I started off with a Kast Kings combo for around $100. Honestly it is a good learning combo. KK Royal Select 7’3” Medium power Fast action with KK Spartacus II reel. As soon as I knew I had the casting down on that “learning gear” I immediately knew I wanted higher quality. This reel was the next step in that. I am putting it on a $100. Daiwa Tatula 7’ Medium Fast action. Hope that helped anyone! Happy Fishing! ... show more

  • Easy to use!
I’ve never used a bait caster prior to the SLX DC. After starting out with full brake adjustment, learning how to cast with no backlash has been a breeze. I used 20lbs braid and have the brake set on 2, very little issues with backlash. I’ve re-spooled once and notice a difference in cast ability with a full spool reel compared to half spooled etc. keep the spool full for best results. ... show more

  • shimano slx dc
everytime i use my drag when fighting a bigger fish it sounds like the bearings are going out

  • Great technology
New to using a bait caster. Tried conventional ones with it almost always ending in a birds nest. After making the settings probably took me about 10 cast to finally dial it in. Smooth!
