    I own the NON Dc chip and I have run it through it's abilities from off shore flounder and sea bass to inshore Striped Bass and it has performed perfectly. I Equipped it with 15lb SSlick v2 and Seaguar 12lb Salt water fluorocarbon leader paired with a Shimano Talavera Slow J 300g jigging rod. Also casts very well down to 1/4 oz. The only issue I have is the open/close switch for the casting brake adjustment I have accidentally popped it open at times but now I'm mindful of this and it's not an issue. DC is a gimmick in my opinion just learn the proper way to tune your reels! Thanks for your videos 👍🏽

  • @liammoodyfilms
    @liammoodyfilms 9 місяців тому

    I have the original SLX DC and the non DC. I love both of them, I have easily over a 100 fish on the non DC. I use the standard SLX for heavy frogging with 50lb braid. And use the DC for moving baits with 12lb flurocarbon. Literally have no complaint’s, would buy both again. Planning on putting the standard SLX onto another rod setup cause it’s just proven and works and buying this new DC to replace it. So that will be #3 for me in my rod lineup. I’ve also used my friend’s Curado DC and I preferred the feel of the SLX. I’ve never even considered this a heavy reel either, it feels as heavy as about every other reel I’ve ever used DC and not. I think the weight thing only matters if your super anal about every gram.

    Not sure why they dropped a 2023 SLX DC with the DC-4 in 70 frame when they have the 2022 SLX DC XT which is the same but with the DC-5 better braking system? I mean it's $40 more... it just seems odd that theh would release another one with a worse DC brake system.

    The biggest downfall of all DC reels is the weight. As rods become lighter and lighter I would never put such a „wrecking ball“ on, although the DC system is really good.

    • @RXAngler

      Yes, it’s a give and take situation with DC reels. Heavier weight but you get arguably longer casts, less birds nest, more efficiency, and advanced technology.

    These are waaaaaaay too expensive for what they are, as are all Shimano reels, but the worst part is the shallow spools. That automatically makes them completely impractical for me. I have several brand reels and many of them have almost double the line capacity of most Shimano reels and I'm bombing lures waaaay out and end up at the almost half way point of my spools. If I'd have hooked the 11.6 pounder I caught in January on a Shimano, it may well have spooled me!
    Sorry but no thank you!
