Shimano SLX DC XT 70HG Baitcaster Reel

The SLX DC XT is the leading 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 across all sizes of lures, including ultra-light finesse sizes. If you want the directness that a baitcasting reel delivers, combined with the casting ease and versatility of a spinning reel, the SLX DC XT should be at the top of your list. Perfectly capable of casting a wide variety of lures, this technical masterpiece has hidden versatility and really comes into its own with lighter-weight lures; enabling effortless and accurate casting to rival specialist BFS (Bait Finesse System) reels. At the heart of the remarkable casting, versatility is a combination of the low inertia MGL III Spool and I-DC5 Digital Casting Control. The spool is ultra-light, and when loaded with braid or lighter mono, rotates with silky smoothness and ease to maximize distance.
