Shimano Slx Dc 151

The SLX DC is one of the top models in the hugely popular SLX series. With a reputation for quality and ease of use, this SLX DC model benefits from Shimano’s I-DC4 Digital Control casting system, which automatically maximises casting performance across a wide range of lines, conditions and casting techniques. The SLX DC is compact, smooth and offers un-paralleled value. The SHIMANO DC system enables effortless casting and is now available to a vast audience around the world. The SLX DC retains all the qualities of the original models, and enhances them with Shimano’s I-DC4 Digital Control. This brilliant technology can be set in one of 4 modes to maximise casting performance, whilst at the same time reducing backlashes and other problems. Available in two sizes, the 150/151 sizes offer great versatility, whilst the smaller 70/71 size featuring the MGL Spool III is perfect for casting lower weight lures. Perfectly embedded into the compact body of the SLX DC is Shimano's unique I-DC4 Digital Control. Modes include: Mode 1 designed to achieve maximum distance (least amount of magnetic braking). Mode 2 designed specifically for braid line management. Mode 3 for fluorocarbon or stiffer lines. Mode 4 offers maximum control (most amount of magnetic braking) for applications such as skipping. Once set, the on-board micro computer, which is self-powered, does all the work, leaving you to just aim and cast. Like all SLX models, the HAGANE Aluminium Body creates the perfect frame for the precision gearing and the S3D Aluminium Spool reduces vibration on the cast and during retrieve. The SLX DC is difficult to beat when looking for a reel with hassle-free digital casting control. The combination of these technological casting advantages at such an attractive price point makes the SLX DC an unbeatable choice for any lure angler.
