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
and additional friction free) 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, which ensures 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 a true all-rounder for the
serious predator angler.
