The SLX DC is one of the most popular models in the beloved SLX series. The SLX DC allows anglers on a tighter budget to experience our DC system. This SLX DC model features the I-DC4 Digital Control casting system, which automatically maximizes casting performance across a wide range of conditions, lines, and casting techniques.
If you already own one of the SHIMANO SLX models, you already know how good they are. Thanks to their compact, smooth feel and excellent value for money, the SLX has become incredibly popular since its launch. This model, however, features the I-DC4 Digital Control system. This brilliant technology calculates the correct braking force 1,000 times per second to maximize casting performance every time. The SLX DC can be set to one of four settings to suit different lines and techniques. Available in three different gears, the SLX DC gives you complete control over your fishing. Available in two sizes, the 151 offers great versatility, while the smaller 71 size is perfect for casting lighter lures.
Seamlessly integrated into the compact body of the SLX DC is SHIMANO's exclusive i-DC4 Digital Control. Modes include: Mode 1 is designed to achieve maximum distance (least magnetic braking). Mode 2 is specifically designed for fishing with braided line. Mode 3 is used with fluorocarbon or stiffer lines. Mode 4 offers maximum control (highest magnetic braking) for applications such as skipping. Once set, the built-in, self-powered microcomputer does all the work, allowing you to cast without worrying about tangles.
Like all SLX models, the aluminum HAGANE Body provides the perfect framework for the gear. The aluminum S3D spool reduces vibration during casting and fast retrieves. For anglers who appreciate the peace of mind that smooth digital cast control provides at an affordable price, the SLX DC is hard to resist.
