Shimano SLX 71 XT DC Baitcasting Reel, Left Hand

Shimano SLX XT DC is a low-profile baitcasting reel equipped with the i-DC5 Intelligent Digital Control system and the MGL III low-inertia spool, optimized for accurate casts and long distances with lures from finesse to mid-weight. The i-DC5 system allows selection of brake settings based on line type and lure weight, providing automatic control and eliminating the risk of backlash. The MGL III spool is ultra-light and spins with minimal friction, maximizing casting performance.

The HAGANE Body aluminum construction, with CI4+ side plates, provides rigidity and reduced weight. Micro Module Gear and X-SHIP deliver smooth rotation and cranking power, while the star drag with Cross Carbon Drag maintains consistent pressure during the fight.
