Shimano is known for their legacy of dependable and versatile reels, and the Shimano SLX DC 150 Baitcaster series is no exception. These reels are taken to the next level by Shimanos Digital Control (DC) braking system. DC monitors spool speed 1,000 times every second, applying perfect braking to stop backlash and increase your cast distance. Thats perfect for anglers of any skill level, because it means less thumbing and easy casting under any conditions. No need to waste time fiddling with your internal brake settings. The SLX DC has 4 adjustable settings, so you can fish a huge variety of lures of all sizes. Setting 1 gives you the least amount of brake control, and setting 4 gives you the most. Thats perfect for adjusting to different weather conditions, casting styles and line types. Finally, its all encased in a rugged Hagane body, giving you smooth, strong cranking power in the palm of your hand. For bulletproof stopping power and the style to match, you cant go past the Shimano SLX DC Baitcaster reels.
