I have the same exact slx dc xt and it’s perfect for throwing weightless soft plastics. I have my spool tension fairly loose and the brakes at a 2 with no backlashes. The IDC-5 is awesome and way better than the IDC-4 on the normal SLX DC and Curado DC. Plus the price for the upgraded tech is a no doubter as SLX dc and Curado Dc retailing for more than 200 now in the US
Followed your lead and ordered a new Shimano reel for my wifes Christmas present. Cant believe the fast delivery. Thanks, Merry Christmas. Keep the videos coming.
I am planning on using 50lbs braid on this reel. Will it hold enough 50lbs braid? And will it impact casting performance for lets say throwing 1/2 ounce jigs from the bank?
I need your help Nick! What do you consider better spinning or baitcast for the type of fishing we do, i.e. trout, reds and flounder? I know how to use both proficiently but I can cast spinning further with no tangle.
Hey RX. What would you think about using the Shimano SLX DC in saltwater. I'm looking for a foolproof baitcaster to learn on but I'm wondering if using it in saltwater would ruin it? Thoughts?
@@g_REEL Got if already and tested it. put on 40lb sunline braid for my heavy game catching sneakhead. Already caught one snakehead on the new antares dc md and gotta say its smooth as butter and the casting is superb 👌
My only gripe with this reel it feels like a cannonball when picking up, compared to my Aldebarens. Apart from that it's a very forgiving reel regardless of lure weights.
Ok boss I'm here watching ur vids trying to figure out my first shimano is a long while. I have been on Lews for a while. I'm leaning towards the 23 metanium but had my mind on a 70 size bc I have smaller hands IMO. The metanium is a 100 size but you said in the video for it had same spool size as the 150? Or the 20 model did? In this video you said the 70 slx is smaller so now I'm like hum is the 100 not the frame size. Is the 100 metanium smaller than a 150? Please someone help me figure this out I'm ready to order.
Phenomenal reel for the price. My curado 150 is collecting dust because of how well the dc xt is made.

How'd she like it? I'm thinking of using my gift cards for this reel.
Digitaka code is expired? Any chanse to get a new one?
How come the box says it holds more meters than yards? 90meters is about 98 yards..
What’s the braid capacity for the reel?

Do you see much difference in casting distance and ease of use between the 4 and 8 carrier Varivas in the 0.8 size on your BFS using 1/8th oz baits?
How long did it take to get to u I also ordered it today and am curious how long I can expect it to take

Use what you feel more comfortable with and that will give you the best chances of catching fish.
Your target species are so small. Go spinning
You have any new codes for digitaka?

How long does it normally take to receive an order from Digitaka?
In my experience, a week to 10 days tops.
Hi, friend! I catch fish with wobblers for 7-10 grams. Which fishing reel do you recommend?
Could you use SLX DC XT for Salmon and steelhead fishing?
Yes. It will throw some pretty light lures because of the lightweight mgl 3 spool
Do you have an updated Digitaka discount code by chance?
Slx dc xt is a 2022 model right? And the slx dc dropped 2023?
👍
It’s the 21 SLX DC XT.
What’s the new code for the discount?
Is it even worth upgrading from the regular slx dc 150hg
?
Yes
Look like the scorpion 17dc in dark grey color
Will you be reviewing & testing the new Antares DC MD 23?
Possibly. Stay tuned!
@@RXAngler alright 👌🏻 waiting for mime to come in 😁
Antares DC MD 23 is legit. I run it for my swimbaits. Flawless reel imo
