Shimano SLX DC 71 – Digital Precision for Superior Casting Performance
The Shimano SLX DC is one of the top models in the popular SLX series, offering exceptional value combined with user-friendly performance. Equipped with Shimano’s advanced i-DC4 Digital Control System, casting performance is automatically optimized regardless of line type, weather conditions, or casting technique. The digital braking system lets you cast farther, more accurately, and with fewer backlashes. This baitcasting reel is ideal for both beginners and experienced anglers.

Compact, Powerful, and Easy to Use
The SLX DC features a compact, ergonomic HAGANE aluminum body that provides a solid and durable frame for its precision gear system. Its smooth operation and high reliability are enhanced by Shimano’s S3D aluminum spool, which reduces vibrations during casting and retrieval.

Four Smart Modes for Different Fishing Conditions
The integrated i-DC4 digital brake system offers four selectable modes:

Mode 1 – Maximum casting distance with minimal magnetic braking.
Mode 2 – Optimized for braided line.
Mode 3 – Designed for fluorocarbon or stiffer lines.
Mode 4 – Provides maximum control for skipping and other precise casts.

The built-in microcomputer is powered by kinetic energy and requires no batteries. Once set, it automatically adjusts the braking force in real time — all you have to do is aim and cast.

Two Sizes for Different Fishing Styles
The SLX DC is available in two sizes to suit a variety of techniques:
•150/151 – Versatile all-round size for most lures and presentations.
•70/71 – Compact version with an MGL III spool, ideal for lightweight lures and achieving longer casts with precision.
