SLX XT DC 71 HG Shimano casting reel
Left handle
The SLX DC XT is the flagship model of the very popular SLX series. Equipped with Shimano's most advanced i-DC5 Intelligent Digital Control braking system and a low inertia MGL III spool, it maximizes casting performance for all lure sizes, including ultra-light sizes.
If you want to benefit from the unique performance of a casting reel, combined with the ease of casting and versatility of a spinning reel, the SLX DC XT should be at the top of your list. Perfectly capable of casting a wide variety of lures, this technical masterpiece has hidden versatility and comes into its own with lighter lures; it allows for precise and effortless casting that rivals specialized BFS (Bait Finesse System) reels.
The combination of the low inertia MGL III spool and the i-DC5 digital casting control is at the heart of this remarkable versatility. The spool is ultra-light, and when loaded with braid or lighter mono, it spins with silky smoothness and ease to maximize distance. But the real secret lies in the exclusive i-DC5 system. This allows you to adjust the brake according to the type of line you are using and also the size of the lure, from large lures to finesse lures (without extra friction), thus offering fantastic automatic control.
Inside the HAGANE aluminum body (with ultra-light CI4+ side plates) is a combination of Micro Module Gear and X-SHIP. This produces the unmatched smoothness associated with Shimano Baitcasting reels and enough power to tackle the largest freshwater predators. The easy-to-adjust star drag is equipped with Cross Carbon drag washers, so you never lose control when it comes to applying extra pressure. From ultra-light lures to medium-sized crankbaits and swimbaits, the SLX DC XT is a true all-round tool for serious predator anglers.
