Shimano SLX DC 71 XT Left Handed Bait Casting Reel is the flagship model in the hugely popular SLX series. Featuring Shimano's most advanced I-DC5 Intelligent Digital Control braking system and a low inertia MGL III spool, it maximizes casting performance on all lures, including ultra-light finesse sizes. If you want the directness that a baitcasting reel delivers, combined with the ease of casting and versatility of a spinning reel, then the SLX DC XT should be at the top of your list. Perfectly capable of casting a wide range of lures, this technical masterpiece has hidden versatility and really comes into its own with lighter lures; enabling effortless and accurate casting for specialist BFS (Bait Finesse System) reels. At the heart of its remarkable casting versatility is a combination of the MGL III low inertia Spool and I-DC5 Digital Casting Control. The spool is ultra light, and when loaded with braid or lighter mono, it rotates with a silky smoothness and ease to maximize distance. But the real secret is the exclusive I-DC5 system. Allows you to set the casting brake for the type of line you are using and also the size of the lure, from large to ultra-light finesse (plus and extra friction free) and provides fantastic, hassle-free, automatic casting control at the start of a dial. Inside the aluminum HAGANE Body (with ultra-light 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 take on the largest freshwater predators. The easy-to-adjust star-drag features Cross Carbon Drag Washers, ensuring that when it's time to apply extra pressure, you never feel out of control. From ultra-light finesse lures to medium-sized swim and plug lures, the SLX DC XT is a true all-rounder for the serious predator angler.
