Description
Shimano’s SLX DC Baitcasting Reel is a beautifully precise, controlled baitcaster that is equipped with Shimano’s innovative Digital Control (DC) braking system. Baitcasters are typically fraught with wind knots and tangles (particularly for the uninitiated), but the SLX DC is designed to mitigate backlashes whilst improving casting accuracy. The unique breaking system utilises microcomputer technology to monitor line speed and apply the optimal amount of braking force to ensure flawless, knot-free casting. It’s one of the best long-casting baitcasters on the market and the SVS Infinity Brake System offers an additional layer of casting control.
The robust HAGANE body is strong and smooth. The rigid construction is designed to enhance power transmission and the 6.3:1 gear ratio makes this reel best suited to targeting some seriously powerful predators. Like a supercar, the reel’s torque is something to behold at this price. The ergonomic design and rubberised grip make long days out and challenging fights a little easier to manage. One of the best baitcasting reels available.
