SHIMANO 22 SLX DC XT 70HG

Amazing flight and anti-backlash performance. Technical versatile model equipped with I-DC5 unit. A technical versatile model that covers everything from lightweight lures to big baits. The I-DC5 unit, which has been highly evaluated at Calcutta Conquest DC, is installed in a sophisticated low profile body. It has excellent long-throw performance, anti-backlash performance, and the characteristics of the DC, which is strong against weather conditions such as wind, have been further refined. The spool adopts ultra-thin magnum light spool 3. The quick rise of rotation derived from low inertia is especially effective with light lures, and it is possible to shoot the lure at will with a low trajectory even under a narrow overhang. A micro module gear is placed at the drive center. With smooth and powerful winding and 3 gear ratio variations, it matches every lure from Makimono to shooting.

The brain of Calcutta Conquest DC, I-DC5, has been transplanted. The new trend of Versatile DC is here
By transplanting the electronically controlled brake unit I-DC5 inherited from Calcutta Conquest DC to SLX DC, a new era of Versatile DC has been born that covers everything from light lures to big baits while also combining high long-distance casting performance and anti-backlash performance. The I-DC5 unit packed into a new body shape composed of gentle curves achieves distance and easy casting that exceeds the conventional I-DC4 equipped model. In synergy with the low-profile body that is easy to palm, this DC equipped model creates a new trend in Versatile, easily handling everything from ultra-long distance casting to technical casting.

Equipped with low inertia Magnum Light Spool III. Pushes the performance of I-DC5 to a new dimension
Magnum Light Spool III, which has achieved unprecedented low inertia through significant thinning. Equipped with this lightweight spool that provides an outstanding casting feel that starts up lightly and extends comfortably, it allows you to perform pinpoint casts with low trajectory with greater precision. The combination of Magnum Light Spool III and the precise brake control of I-DC5 reduces backlash and provides a good extension that allows you to aim even further into the depths. The SLX DCXT supports anglers' aggressive attacks with unprecedented ease of use and outstanding castability.

HAGANE
Shimano's design philosophy is to create products that can be truly used by utilizing metal processing technology.
Robustness that allows you to continue using it with confidence even in harsh conditions. A precise winding feel and a solid operation feel that stimulates the senses. And a winding force beyond imagination. By stubbornly pursuing reels that anglers can truly use, the work has produced HAGANE gears and HAGANE bodies, which have become Shimano's belief. Everything is for the angler.

Micro module gear
A new drive system in which small precision gears mesh tightly.
Ultra-small precision gears and an elaborate body housing provide a "silky" winding feel never experienced before. The vibration level is less than half that of conventional gears (compared to our company), and the increased number of meshing teeth ensures strength that surpasses conventional gears. Shimano's unique gear system combines smooth feeling and strength.

X-ship
Larger diameter drive gear, optimal placement of both pinion and drive gears, and two-point support by pinion gear bearings. The meshing of these sturdy gears maintains a light reeling that is resistant to loads.

HAGANE Body
By using lightweight and highly rigid metals such as aluminum and magnesium, the reel's flex, distortion, and twisting are firmly suppressed. It protects the delicate gear meshing and enables smooth reeling.

Magnum Light Spool III
A new dimension of low inertia spool will inspire you.
The first generation Magnum Light Spool has evolved into the second generation Magnum Light Spool, and the latest Magnum Light Spool III is the third generation. By further thinning the spool, we have achieved a lower inertia than before without compromising durability. Not only does it have long-distance casting performance, but it also has a lighter rise that far exceeds the conventional one, an exhilarating cast feel that extends endlessly, and a significant improvement in trouble-free performance.

I-D65
In addition to the 3-mode internal dial, there is a 5-stage external dial for selection. A 4-pole magnetized ring magnet reduces backlash and provides proper braking.
