Shimano SLX DC is one of the top models among the very popular SLX low-profile reels. It benefits from Shimano's i-DC4 Digital Control system, which automatically enhances casting performance with different lines, weather conditions, and casting techniques.
SLX DC is compact, very smooth, and offers unbeatable price-performance ratio. Thanks to the Shimano DC system, casting becomes a breeze even for beginners. SLX DC retains all the quality features from previous SLX models and further enhances them with Shimano's i-DC4 Digital Control system. This brilliant technology can be set to one of four modes to maximize casting performance while preventing any kind of line issues. It comes in two sizes: Size 150/151 is an all-around size, while the smaller size 70/71 is perfect for casting lighter baits.
Shimano's exclusive i-DC4 Digital Control system has been seamlessly integrated into the compact body of the SLX DC reel.
4 automatic casting settings:
Mode 1 for maximum casting distance (minimum brake effect).
Mode 2 is specifically designed for use with braided lines.
Mode 3 for fluorocarbon or stiffer lines.
Mode 4 offers maximum control (strongest brake effect) for fishing techniques like Skipping.
SLX DC does not require batteries; the spool rotation generates power automatically and feeds the microcomputer, so you only need to aim and cast.
Just like with all SLX models, the Hagane aluminum body provides the perfect structure for precision gears, and the S3D aluminum spool reduces vibrations during casting and retrieval. For spool size 70/71, a lightweight MGL III spool ensures you can cast small baits far. For any angler looking for an affordable reel with Shimano's exclusive Digital Control system, the SLX DC is the perfect choice. The combination of these technological advantages in casting, along with the favorable price, makes the SLX DC appealing to all low-profile reel fans.

Refers to which product family the product belongs to. In many cases, there are matching reels and rods within the same product family. These items are designed to work together.
Refers to which line is primarily suited to the product. The most common types of lines are braided lines and monofilament lines.
Braided, Mono
Gear ratio
What is gear ratio? The term gear ratio, or 'gear ratio' in English, is a value that indicates how many laps around the reel’s spool the line goes per crank. A normal gear ratio is around 5.0:1 and up, meaning the spool rotates five times per crank. A fast gear ratio (high speed) is typically around 6.5:1, meaning 6.5 spool rotations per crank. Such a reel can be great when fishing for sea trout on the coast, as trout often like a bit of speed on the lure. In modern spin fishing, there are also reels with super-fast gear ratios, over 7.5 spool rotations per crank, used with certain lures that benefit from being fished very quickly.
Are you a beginner and want better control over the lure you’ve cast? Use a reel with a slightly lower gear ratio, around 5.0:1.
7.2:1
Line capacity (diameter - length)
Refers to how many meters of line of a certain diameter (mm) the spool can hold.
0.330 mm x 100 m
Line included
Whether the reel comes with pre-spooled line or not. If the line is included, just unpack your gear and start fishing!

Max drag capacity
The maximum number of kilos the reel can brake. The more kilos the reel can handle, the more powerful the drag. When casting heavy lures, like in heavier pike fishing, you want the reel to handle at least 10 kilos of braking strength.
