To top it all off it's got Shimano's Hagane body for strong performance without any tilting or warping despite a lightweight body.

    Definitely worth the $

    I’ve had the reel for a month now, my casting distance has easily doubled or more. And the backlashes are basically nonexistent, only had one due to me trying out full open setting. I’d highly recommend this reel for all new and old anglers.

    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.
