    My SLX 150DC XG I fall in 😍❤ with her,at first I put fluorocarbon on her but then went to 15 pd Powerline and made my Forest cast ever!,she cast out all 120 yards WITHOUT a backlash,blow my mind!!,, I love how you can use all different setups on this real anything from jigs to senko to a 4 inch swim bait.i enjoy your video,keep up the good work!

    Great review of these reels. If i had to pick one of the three reels, I'd go with the SLX XT. That seems more my liking. I'm not at all interested in the DC technology. It's nice, but I'd rather master the baitcaster than for it to do all the work for me.

    OK ladies and gentlemen, fishing all my life. Great video BTW, I just want to add one thing. DC imo is what she said a specialty tool. I have only found that DC reels only really help while casting any clumsy or less stream line casting lures that may tumble a lot or catch wind easy. IE: Chatterbait, spinner baits, A-Rigs etc... That's where years of fishing many reels and DCs as well. That's where I only have found that for the money they cost they only truly shine and are worth it for those applications along with skipping distances and windly conditions. They fall short of helping in short skipping and flip/pitch. Just a couple more tips. IMO SLX XT overall the best if you can only get one. Thanks again for the video. Great job. tight lines

    As someone who is very new to baitcasting, this was a great video. I am leaning towards a SLX but DC also sounds really good. I think if I purchased a DC reel, I would use it as a crutch instead of making me a better caster with time and effort.

    people just getting into fishing these days are kinda lucky that so much good gear is available at low to mid prices. when i learned to use a baitcaster, it was on a garcia 5000. reels didn't even have mag brakes back then. adjusted for inflation i bet those reels were more expensive than the ones you show. i have a curado dc, and i like it, it's a good reel. even the lew's mach 2 i have is a pretty good reel for the money.

    Another Great vid. Thanks. I have the SLX, which I love, and the SLX XT, and I agree the SLX XT is worth the extra $30 US. But from every thing I’ve read the SLX DC is not worth an additional $50 over that.

    • @megancooper3241
      @megancooper3241 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @patwalker9890

  • @seanbrown9313
    @seanbrown9313 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I think the SLX is the most worth. In my opinion you don’t need the digital chip or the abs breaking system. The SLX is what I have and it casts really really far, and also is extremely light and sturdy. You don’t need the extra 10 yards of casting distance while paying 150 more dollars, but that’s my opinion. Great review! You really did a good job explaining everything!

    • @samwollman8214
      @samwollman8214 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      First off all the difference in price is $89 not $150 like you said so you should probably check your facts before acting like you know what you're talking about anyway the extra 10 yards of casting distance was from the SLX to the SLX XT And you gain even more from the DC Not to mention casting distance isn't the only thing.
