The Shimano SLX DC Baitcast Reel features a unique Digital Control braking system that provides anglers with a better casting experience compared to the Shimano SLX models. Designed with a rigid body, the Shimano SLX DC Baitcast Reel is incredibly durable and reduces flexing to enhance cranking power. Plus, the Shimano SLX DC Baitcast Reel features a contoured grip and longer handle for more comfort and cranking power so anglers stay in control. Depending on the conditions or your choice of line, this baitcast reel offers four different external braking options for a more customized drag resistance on the fish, while the cast control system monitors the spool's speed at one thousand times per second.
