Product Description

Shimano SLX DC 71XG Left-Hand – Precision Meets Power with Digital Control

The Shimano SLX DC 71XG brings advanced digital braking technology into the hands of everyday anglers. With the refined I-DC4 Digital Control braking system and MGL Spool III, this reel delivers effortless long-distance casting, superior anti-backlash performance, and the versatility to throw anything from finesse lures to power baits with ease.

Engineered with Shimano’s HAGANE Body and ultra-high-strength brass gears, this reel doesn’t just cast beautifully—it’s built to last. The addition of a Carbon Cross Drag Washer ensures smooth, consistent drag pressure, while the redesigned I-DC4 firmware gives anglers unmatched control in any condition, even in challenging wind.

Whether you’re targeting bass in cover, casting crankbaits across a point, or pitching jigs in tight spaces, the SLX DC 71XG is a powerful all-around performer that brings flagship tech to an accessible price point.

Key Features:

I-DC4 Braking System: Digitally controlled braking for optimized casting and minimal backlash.
MGL Spool III: Lightweight, low-inertia spool for maximum casting performance.
HAGANE Body: Rigid, durable metal construction for solid hooksets and gear alignment.
Ultra-Strong Brass Drive Gear: Built to withstand years of heavy use.
Cross Carbon Drag: Smooth, consistent pressure under heavy load.
