I have had this reel for several months and have had a chance to bass fish in a variety of conditions and try a ton of different baits and techniques with it. My first thoughts on the Shimano DC SLX reel is that I like it more for an everyday reel. What I mean by that is if you have a rod or two that pulls double, triple or even quadruple duty with lures and techniques, this is the reel you want to pair on it. Here’s a little more about this bass fishing baitcasting reel.
