<p>The new Shimano SLX DC 71A reel is one of the flagship models of the hugely popular SLX series.

This brilliant technology can be set to one of 4 modes to maximize casting performance while reducing wiggly and other problems. Available in the right sizes, the 150/151 sizes offer great versatility, while the smaller 70/71 size fitted with the MGL Spool III is perfect for casting lighter weight lures. Fitted neatly into the compact body of the SLX DC is Shimano's exclusive I-DC4 digital control. Modes include: Mode 1 designed to achieve maximum distance (least amount of magnetic braking). Mode 2 designed specifically for braid handling. Mode 3 for fluorocarbon or stiffer lines. Mode 4 offers the most control (maximum amount of magnetic braking) for applications such as skipping. Once set up, the onboard micro computer, which is self-powered, does all the work, leaving you to aim and shoot. Like all SLX models, the HAGANE aluminum body creates the perfect frame for precision gearing and the aluminum S3D spool reduces vibration on casting and on retrieve. The SLX DC is hard to beat when looking for a hassle free digital cast control reel. Combining these casting technological advantages at such an attractive price point makes the SLX DC an unbeatable choice for any lure angler.</p>

<p>The SLX is a stunning value for money reel that offers long lasting performance at a remarkably low price. Ticking all the right boxes, when it comes to features and performance this is Shimano value, quality and credibility and a price that almost defies logic. The SLX is the perfect choice if you are starting to fish with baitcasting reels. Perhaps you have used spinning reels in the past but now want to try something more direct, compact and lightweight. Or maybe you just want great value for money. Whatever your motivation, you can't go wrong with the versatile SLX. It takes many of the tried and trusted features found on Shimano's more expensive reels and packs them into a distinctive HAGANE compact body that is easy to handle and use, even for inexperienced anglers. When it comes to the cheapest range of the market there is often a compromise between quality and price. But SLX has rewritten the rule book. To start with, it uses a high-end HAGANE body made from lightweight aluminum, which is important because a reel with a strong build works more effectively when under pressure. Casting is controlled by Shimano's VBS braking system, which uses adjustable centrifugal weights that can be pre-set to suit your style and preferences. And to ensure minimal vibration during casting, the superb S3D spool is standard. Finally, when you hook your first fish, you will surely appreciate the slightly longer handle, which provides the necessary power to control the most difficult fish.</p>
