Shimano SLX DC is one of the top models among the very popular SLX low-profile reels. It benefits from Shimano's i-DC4 Digital Control system, which automatically enhances casting performance with different lines, weather conditions, and casting techniques.
SLX DC is compact, very smooth, and offers unbeatable price-performance ratio. Thanks to the Shimano DC system, casting becomes a breeze even for beginners. SLX DC retains all the quality features from previous SLX models and further enhances them with Shimano's i-DC4 Digital Control system. This brilliant technology can be set to one of four modes to maximize casting performance while preventing any kind of line issues. It comes in two sizes: Size 150/151 is an all-around size, while the smaller size 70/71 is perfect for casting lighter baits.
Shimano's exclusive i-DC4 Digital Control system has been seamlessly integrated into the compact body of the SLX DC reel.
4 automatic casting settings:
- Mode 1 for maximum casting distance (minimum brake effect).
- Mode 2 is specifically designed for use with braided lines.
- Mode 3 for fluorocarbon or stiffer lines.
- Mode 4 offers maximum control (strongest brake effect) for fishing techniques like Skipping.
SLX DC does not require batteries; the spool rotation generates power automatically and feeds the microcomputer, so you only need to aim and cast.
Just like with all SLX models, the Hagane aluminum body provides the perfect structure for precision gears, and the S3D aluminum spool reduces vibrations during casting and retrieval. For spool size 70/71, a lightweight MGL III spool ensures you can cast small baits far. For any angler looking for an affordable reel with Shimano's exclusive Digital Control system, the SLX DC is the perfect choice. The combination of these technological advantages in casting, along with the favorable price, makes the SLX DC appealing to all low-profile reel fans.
