Shimano SLX XT DC 71 Left Hand
The SLX DC XT is the flagship model of the very popular SLX series. With Shimano's most advanced braking system I-DC5 Intelligent Digital Control and a low inertia MGL III spool, it maximizes casting performance for all sizes of lures, including ultra-light finesse sizes.
If you want the immediacy of a baitcasting reel, combined with the casting ease and versatility of a spinning reel, the SLX DC XT should be at the top of your list. Perfect for casting a wide variety of lures, this technical masterpiece has hidden versatility and really comes into its own with lighter lures; it enables an easy and precise cast that can compete with specialized BFS (Bait Finesse System) reels. At the heart of the remarkable 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 spins with a silky smoothness and ease to maximize distance.
But the real secret is the exclusive I-DC5 system. It makes it possible to set the cast brake for the type of line you are using and also the size of the bait, from large to ultra light finesse giving fantastic, trouble-free, automatic cast control with the simple turn of a knob. In 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 biggest of fish. The easily adjustable star drag features Cross Carbon Drag Washers, ensuring that when it's time to apply extra pressure, you'll never feel out of control. From ultra-light finesse baits to medium-sized swimbaits and crankbaits - the SLX DC XT is a true all-rounder for the serious angler.
