Shimano SLX DC 150 HG Blackout Baitcaster Combo 7ft 7/28g 2pc

Supreme casting performance

The Shimano SLX DC 150 HG Blackout Baitcaster Combo is specially designed to handle the rigours of modern baitcasting. This team-up of top-quality Shimano gear combines the strong SLX DC 150 HG Baitcaster Rel with the reliable Blackout Rod, taking baitcasting to a whole new level .

The Reel
Built on the same platform as the popular SLX baitcasting reel with
the addition of Shimano’s unique I-DC4 Digital Control Braking
Technology, the new Shimano SLX DC 150 HG Baitcaster
Reel takes your casting performance to a whole new level.
The Shimano Digital Control Braking System utilises a microcomputer
to monitor spool speed 1000 times every second and apply the
perfect backlash and maximise distance. This means less thumbing
and trouble-free casting in all conditions.

Inside the SLX DC’s Hagane Body, brass gearing delivers reliable
cranking power and three SUS bearings and one bearing means
everything turns smoothly. The reel incorporates a compact design,
with the same line capacity as Shimano’s standard 150 sized reels.
Featuring a gear ratio of 8.2:1 means that the slow and methodical
fisho who likes a bit of speed is well covered. On top of this, the
5kg mas drag settings provide amazing stopping power should it be
needed.

I-DC4 Digital Control Braking Technology
Shimano’s new Digital Control braking system utilises a
microcomputer to monitor spool speed 1000 times every second and
apply the perfect amount of brake to prevent backlash and maximise
distance.

VBS
VBS uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to aid in
controlling the cast. The individual brake weights, when turned on,
are forced outward at the beginning of the cast when backlashes
most often occur, causing friction that reduces the speed of the
spool. Once the spool speed begins to slow, the pressure lessens,
allowing the spool to continue spinning. The result is a much more
consistent spool speed that is easier t manage and takes advantage
of the reel’s maximum casting distance.

HAGANE Body
HAGANE Body means this reel has a high rigidity and zero twist. The
body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body
flexing. The result transforms the anglers actions directly into
cranking power. It’s efficiency through strength.

The Rod
Providing the perfect balance between power and finesse, the new Shimano Blackout Baitcasting Rod features T45 blank technology to create a strong, powerful and crisp action with superb sensitivity in a sleek black design. Coupled with WINN grips to provide the ultimate comfort. This rod will not only help you land the fish you’re after, but it will allow you to do it in style.

WINN Grips
Unlike traditional cork or EVA grips, the new WINN grips are made from high quality polymer formulated to provide firmness, texture, sensitivity and comfort even when wet.
