## 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.

Review: Worth Every Dollar - One of the best baitcasters I’ve ever owned. The Shimano SLX DC is smooth, easy to cast, and the DC braking helps prevent backlash. It feels solid and reliable, and I even caught my personal best bass on it. Definitely worth the money.
Review: Wonderful reel. - This is a wonderful reel for the money. The spool control on the SLX DC is not perfect, so it still requires some manual breaking with the thumb. So do not think the DC technology on these reels is magic. However, the DC feature still greatly reduces the need for thumb breaking and that results in longer casts and a more forgiving baitcaster. (Meaning that even if iDC4 cannot avoid all birds nests and overruns by itself, it will still eliminate many of them.) This reel is typical Shimano quality. The handle is very comfortable. The retrieve is smooth. The drag is smooth. The fit and finish are great. A lot of people do not like the matte graphite finish, but I love it because I do not have to worry about scratches, scuffs, fingerprints, and all the other trials of fishing ruining a reel with a gloss finish. The best thing about this reel is that you just get to spend more time fishing. The DC technology helps to avoid birds nests and overruns. Less time maintaining a reel is more time casting. However, the DC technology also only needs to be set up once a day. You set the tension control knob, and that is it. You do not need to reset the reel every time you change a lure. You do not need to change the settings every time you turn to face a different direction because the wind is different. It just saves a lot of time throughout the day and results in more fishing. The only thing I would advise is that people who own this reel should purchase the Carbontex drag washers. The sheep shear drag washer that comes from the factory works great. However, the Carbontex washers are cheap, easy to swap, and are a great upgrade. It is not an upgrade that needs to be done right away, but I would advise all owners of this reel to do it sooner or later.

## 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.
