The Shimano SLX DC puts unparalleled casting performance within every angler's reach! Step up to the next level of high-performance bait casting. Built on the same compact, rigid and versatile platform as the popular SLX bait casting reel, the SLX DC incorporates Shimano's unique DC Braking technology. This digital braking system utilizes a microcomputer to monitor spool speed 1,000 times per second and apply the perfect amount of brake to prevent backlash and maximize distance.

A versatile and technical reel that can handle lightweight lures as well as big baits. The sophisticated low-profile body houses the highly regarded I-DC5 unit, which is also found in the popular Calcutta Conquest DC. The SLX DC XT has been refined for even better long casting performance, anti-backlash performance, and resistance to wind and other weather conditions.
