The SLX DC XT is the leading model in the hugely popular SLX series. Featuring Shimano’s most advanced i-DC5 Intelligent Digital Control braking system and a low inertia MGL III Spool, it maximises casting performance across all sizes of lures, including ultra-light finesse sizes.
If you want the directness that a baitcasting reel delivers, combined with the casting ease 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 really comes into its own with lighter weight lures; enabling effortless and accurate casting to rival specialist BFS (Bait Finesse System) reels.
At the heart of the remarkable casting versatility is a combination of the low inertia MGL III Spool and i-DC5 Digital Casting Control. The spool is ultra light, and when loaded with braid or lighter mono, rotates with a silky smoothness and ease to maximise distance. But the real secret is the exclusive i-DC5 system. This enables you to set the casting brake for the type of line you are using and also the size of lure, from large to ultra-light finesse (plus an additional friction free mode), offering fantastic, trouble free, automatic casting control at the turn of a dial.
Inside the aluminium HAGANE Body (with ultra light CI4+ side plates) is a combination of Micro Module Gear and X-SHIP. This produces the unmistakable smoothness associated with Shimano baitcasting reels and enough power to tackle the largest of freshwater predators. The simple-to-adjust star drag has Cross Carbon Drag Washers, ensuring that when it’s time to apply additional pressure you’ll never feel out of control.
From ultra-light finesse lures to medium sized swim and crankbaits, the SLX DC XT is a true all-rounder for the serious predator angler, combining power, control, and precision in every cast.
