    The Shimano SLX 150 DC is a new series of digitally controlled, low profile baitcasting reels from Shimano. Shimano's proprietary I-DC4 Digital Control Braking system. The internal computerized braking system has a microchip that monitors spool speed 1000 times per second, making small micro-adjustments to apply the perfect amount of pressure to increase casting distance and prevent backlash.

It has a 4-bearing system with 1 reverse bearing and a maximum of 12 lbs drag. To top it all off it's got Shimano's Hagane body for strong performance without any tilting or warping despite a lightweight body.

    Great DC reel

    The Shimano SLX DC is a great reel, it works great on smaller baits and the DC controls the spool to eliminate backlash. This reel has allowed me to start skipping baits without making bird nests.
    The 150 size is a good fit in the palm of my hand, comfortable all day.

    Great first bait caster

    I got this being new to bait casters, and it is very beginner friendly. It never birds-nested and still hasn't to this day. I've had it for about a month, it casts very far and has good accuracy and can be easily controlled. It is very strong and well-built, but the best part is zing whenever you cast, sounds heavenly!
    Also, the best part of getting this reel is that it comes with a sweet Discount Tackle sticker.

    Shimano SLX DC baitcaster

    This caster is really smooth and the zing is an A+ in sound. Best performing bait caster that I've ever owned. It was easy for me to adjust to my liking. No more bird nests!
