I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well kzfaq.infoUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.

I love my SLX DC’s! For that price point, hearing that “Zing”, means no bird nests! As a newbie to bass fishing, making the investment into the SLX DC’s meant less time messing with birds nests while still practicing casting techniques and more time actually fishing. IMO, totally worth the investment! Great video!

I’ve been a 50/70 fan since those reels came out over 10 years ago so I was SUPER excited about the slx’s when they were released. Bought one of every model, slx, xt, mgl, dc and I’ve been running them all hard ever since. My standard slx has been a frogging reel since just about the minute they were released to the public and anyone who knows about frog reels knows they get worked HARD. Still as good as day one...in fact, my last curado 70 went geary before the slx. I really dig this series. The mgl and xt are reels I use next to my aldebarans and scorpions with no issue at all.

Believe me, if your using a reel with a 21 gram spool for very light lures, there very definitely is a problem. Where I work I've had to refund 3 of them because they weren't casting an acceptable distance and I no longer sell them as a result. Theres just too much inertia in the spool.

I started off with the SLX DC when I got my first DC style baitcaster and it was a phenomenal reel for the price, I've since upgraded to the Curado DC and the Scorpion DC and I adore those as well but I still kinda miss my old SLX DC. I found that the SLX DC seemed to cast smaller lures a lot better than the Scorpion DC which has the lightweight spool. If I had to knock on one thing, I think the gearing isn't anywhere as smooth as the Scorpion DC or the Curado DC as you mention.

This thing is to bait casting reels as microwaves are to convection ovens. Satisfactory results are so much easier to achieve!! ;) Doesn't mean that you can fish.

Terry, my son has the same reel. We put 30 lb spider wire braid on it and it backlashes every once in awhile. We set it up correctly. I think the braid is digging in on itself. We made sure it was tight when spooled. What pound braid do you use on your reels? Thank you.
@FishhookTerry4 жыл бұрын
Hey there! I usually use 40-65lb because of the equivalent diameter to fluoro or mono. What I would do is get some line conditioner, KVD has one he sponsors that works great. I’d do the tie off to something trick and walk it back as far as you can. Then as you start to reel back, every 10-15 reel turns spray once, doing that until you’ve completed. That should help with any kinks that may have formed because of those birds nests. Then the day before going fishing just give the spool a quick one squirt spray to make sure it’s ready. That should help a bunch and that spray lasts forever, good for all types of lines.

The auto trans vs manual trans analogy still applies: you can compare it to the earlier auto trans cars vs a very experienced driver with a manual - obviously humans were able to get more out of the vehicle and turn better lap times or drag ETs. In time and with competition, the auto trans cars have surpassed what any human could do and eventually fishing reels will too. And with volume of production, price will come down. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNCag6moupqcZ2w.html Here's a link to that video

This reel really intrigues me. The only issue I have is it’s 150 size spool. I would love to use this for a frog setup but I’m afraid of the line capacity with 65lb braid. I have a Lews super duty G that I picked up on sale, only issue I have with it is that it doesn’t have centrifugal braking. I love my curado k and at the same price point I’m a bit disappointed Lews missed that mark. Now trying to decide to replace it with a curado k or slx dc. That darn 150 spool I tell ya
@Stan_Halen4 жыл бұрын
I mean, what's the issue with spool size? You never need that much froggin and if you're worried about line friction put half a spool on?
@benfisher88634 жыл бұрын
Stan Halen well a curado k holds 80 yards of 65lb braid with a 200 size spool. The DC’s have a smaller 150 size meaning maybe only 60ish yards of 65lb braid. If you were to get snagged bad or something and had to cut 10-15 yards of line off now you only leave yourself with 45 yards of line. I know with a regular curado I can cast a frog about 40 yards so with a dc you run the risk of spooling yourself. A 7 speed I think has around 28-31” per turn so in reality that far out you’d be cranking pretty fast just to get some line back. The reason this matters to me is I have a couple spots were the mats are thick and extend 60 yards out from shore. I want to make the most of my cast and cover as much water as I can while not spooling the reel or having zero line travel due to the spool being almost empty. That’s just why I’m unsure of the whole 150 size. Gimme a DC with a 200 spool and it’s golden in my opinion
@Stan_Halen4 жыл бұрын
@@benfisher8863 Ahh fair enough didn't realize you were froggin from shore which makes more sense. I'd suggest downgrading to 50# for the extra few yards on the reel and better casting distance(although not enough to wow you at the difference) and is what I use up here in the North where mats/lillies aren't typically ultra-thick. If you're talking more southern fishing where those mats are thick enough to walk on, then I definitely understand. Although I'm only down south maybe 1-2 times a year visiting my brother, I have a Lew's Super Duty 300 LFS with 80# for the exact scenario you're talking about. Thick line to handle the rough stuff and forest in the water and spool size to match. Plus, the cats in his neck of the woods will take topwaters almost as much as the bass so its nice to have a setup to manage them when they connect.

I honestly wasn’t as stoked as everyone else. The guys at the tackle shop was frothing over it like Terry, got one... meh. Still unsure about the sound it makes too.

These are good reels they're just way too hard to find because of how popular they are. I have much better luck obtaining curados.

How do you take off the side plate? (For if I need to clean it!)
@ShirtRIPPA834 жыл бұрын
Well I know on my Curado DC’s selector dial there is an “open” setting. Just have to select that and the side plate pulls right off.

I really think they'd sell more of the SLX's if they got rid of the blue. Make the color more neutral.

@@mrvaj2021 I agree it's a nice blue. But what if someone has a rod with green accents? Or purple? Or red? If they're into having matching gear they may shy away from it just based on that.
