COMPACT - RELIABLE - SMOOTH FOR A LITTLE REEL, THE NEW SLX DC BAITCASTER IS HIGHLY SMART With high demand for the Curado DC, Shimano created the SLX DC to introduce anglers to the some technology at lower price point to encourage anglers to take that next step. The DC uses the same I-DC4 technology to control the spool and the signature HAGANE frame, with the only tangible difference being both X-Ship and Micromodule gearing have been excluded to differentiate between the two models. Anglers wanting to gain extra distance with their casts, using either softbaits or lures will want to check out the new SLX DC. MICROCOMPUTER COILS MAGNET PERFECT CASTS, ANYTIME AND EVERY SITUATION Shimano’s new Digital Control braking system utilises a microcomputer to monitor spool speed 1,000 times every second and apply the perfect amount of brake to prevent backlash and maximise distance. Anglers of all skill levels will appreciate less thumbing and trouble-free casting in all conditions.
