SLX DC XT

The Baitcasting reel of the extra class!

The SLX DC XT is the top model of the extremely popular SLX series. Equipped with Shimano's most advanced I-DC5 Intelligent Digital Control braking system and a low-inertia MGL III spool, it maximizes casting performance for all bait sizes, including ultra-light finesse sizes.

If you want to combine the directness of a Baitcasting reel with the ease and versatility of a spinning reel, the SLX DC XT should be at the top of your list. This technical masterpiece is perfect for casting a variety of baits and offers a hidden versatility that especially comes into its own with lighter baits.


It allows effortless and precise casts that can compete with those of BFS reels (Bait Finesse System). The heart of the remarkable casting range is a combination of the low-inertia MGL III spool and the digital casting control I-DC5.

The spool is ultra-light and spins silkily and lightly when loaded with braided or lighter monofilament line, to maximize casting distance. But the real secret is the exclusive I-DC5 system.

It allows you to adjust the casting brake for the line used and the size of the bait, from large to ultra-light fine (plus and additionally friction-free) and offers fantastic, hassle-free, automatic casting control with just a turn.
