Shimano SLX DC 70 XG

The SLX DC is one of the leading reels in the hugely popular SLX series. With a reputation for value and ease of use, the SLX DC benefits from SHIMANO’s i-DC4 Digital Control casting system that automatically maximises casting performance across a wide range of lines, conditions and casting techniques.

The SLX DC is compact, smooth and offers unmatched value. The SHIMANO DC system allows you to cast effortlessly and is now available to a wide audience around the world. The SLX DC retains all of the qualities of the original SLX models and enhances it with SHIMANO’s i-DC4 Digital Control. This brilliant technology can be set in one of 4 modes to maximise your casting performance, whilst at the same time reducing over-runs. Available in two sizes, the 150/151 sizes offer great versatility, whilst the smaller 70/71 size featuring the MGL III spool is perfect for casting lighter weight lures.

Fitted seamlessly into the compact body of the SLX DC is Shimano’s exclusive i-DC4 Digital Control. The modes include Mode 1 designed to achieve maximum distance (least amount of magnetic braking). Mode 2 designed specifically for managing braided line. Mode 3 for fluorocarbon or stiffer lines. Mode 4 offers maximum control (largest amount of magnetic braking) for applications like skipping. Once set, the onboard microcomputer, which is self-powered by generating its own electricity, does all of the work, leaving you to take aim and cast.

Like all SLX models, the aluminium HAGANE Body creates the perfect frame for the precision gearing, and the aluminum S3D spool reduces vibration on the cast and when retrieving. On the smaller 70/71 spool size, MGL III spool is used in order to improve the trajectory and casting distance with smaller lures. The SLX DC is hard to beat when you are looking for a reel with trouble-free digital casting control. Combining these technological casting advantages at this interesting price-point makes the SLX DC an unbeatable choice for any lure angler.

HAGANE
HAGANE is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.

HAGANE BODY
The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing on the reel while fighting a fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power.

MGL SPOOLⅢ
MGL Spool III is the low inertia spool that desined with thin spool wall keeping the durability, This contribute to improve the casting performance, quick response, long distance, cast feeling and castabillity.

I-DC4
DC brake system perceives the changing spool speed and controls brake power with microcomputer, and provides the cast-performance of long distance and anti-backrash. I-DC4 brake can be set easily with 4 dial adjustment, covering to each line.

CROSS CARBON DRAG
The CROSS CARBON DRAG provides the smooth drag release and the durability.

S3D
S3D SPOOL leads to significantly reduced spool vibration. This creates an smooth feeling when casting.

S A-RB
S A-RB bearings are put through the same process as Shimano’s A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the rotation of the bearing.

SUPER FREE SPOOL
SUPER FREE SPOOL reduces friction on the spool shaft during the cast and enhances casting performance.
