SLX DC – Advanced Digital Control for Effortless Casting
The SLX DC is one of the leading reels in the hugely popular SLX series. Known for its excellent value and ease of use, it features SHIMANO’s i-DC4 Digital Control casting system, which automatically maximises performance across a wide range of lines, conditions, and casting techniques.
Compact, Smooth, and Exceptional Value
The SLX DC is compact, smooth, and offers unmatched versatility. The SHIMANO DC system allows effortless casting and is now accessible to anglers worldwide. It retains all qualities of the original SLX models while enhancing them with SHIMANO’s i-DC4 Digital Control system.
Four Adjustable Casting Modes
This advanced technology can be set in one of four modes to maximise casting performance while reducing over-runs:
Mode 1: Maximum distance with minimal magnetic braking.
Mode 2: Optimised for managing braided line.
Mode 3: Designed for fluorocarbon or stiffer lines.
Mode 4: Maximum control (strongest magnetic braking) for applications like skipping.
The onboard microcomputer, self-powered by generating its own electricity, handles all adjustments automatically, allowing you to focus on aiming and casting.
Precision Engineering with HAGANE Body
As with all SLX models, the aluminium HAGANE Body provides a rigid and precise frame for the gearing. The aluminium S3D spool reduces vibration during casting and retrieval. For the smaller 70/71 size, the MGL III spool improves trajectory and casting distance with lighter lures.
Trouble-Free Digital Casting Control
The SLX DC is unmatched for anglers seeking a reel with dependable digital casting control. Combining technological advantages with a competitive price point, the SLX DC is an excellent choice for any lure angler.
