Shimano SLX XT DC 70 HG Reel RH

The SLX DC XT is the leading model in the immensely popular SLX series. With Shimano’s most advanced I-DC5 Intelligent Digital Control braking system and an MGL III spool, it maximizes casting performance on all types of lures, including ultralight finesse sizes. If you want the directness a baitcasting reel delivers, combined with the throwing ease and versatility of a spinning reel, the SLX DC XT should be at the top of your list. This technical masterpiece is perfectly capable of casting a wide variety of lures, has hidden versatility and really comes into its own with lighter weight lures; allowing effortless and accurate casting with specialized BFS (Bait Finesse System) technology. At the heart of its remarkable casting performance is a combination of the MGL III spool with I-DC5 Digital Casting Control. The spool is ultralight and when wound with line, it rotates with silky smoothness and ease to maximize casting distance. But the real secret is the exclusive I-DC5 system. It allows you to adjust the braking system for the type of line you are using and for the size of the lure. Inside the aluminum Hagane Body (with ultralight CI4+ side plates) is a combination of Micro Module Gear and X-Ship. This provides the unmistakable smoothness associated with Shimano Baitcasting reels and enough power to tackle the largest freshwater fish. The easily adjustable star drag has Cross Carbon slip discs, which can apply tremendous pressure when needed. From ultra-light finesse lures to medium-sized swimbaits and lures, the SLX DC XT is a true all-rounder for the serious predator angler!
