SLX DC XT bfs lure testing would be much more interesting to see IMO. Thanks for the great info. 👍🏻
Ill make this easy on everyone. But the JDM SLX DC XT. Thank me later.
I bought 2
@@BackWaterAnglers I was looking at new stuff today and noticed it on sale for 188$ best deal ever. I can't even talk myself into upgrading to a 400$ reel. I wish it had a clicking spool adjustment and clicking drag star. If it did it would be perfect.
Facts 😂
Dats right mutha sucka Dats right!😂
I am looking at the SLX line right now but don't own any. What's better about the Japanese model?
I have an SLX 150 DC and I love it. I appreciate the amount of work you put into these videos..and your explanation of the differences between models.
Slx dc xt is my favorite in the slx reels, curado dc is my favorite kind of curado reel, i only have 1 scorpion dc which is the newest one they came out with, i think the 2021 model? I like the scorpion dc its just alittle heavy! I have a metanium i need the dc version! I want the new model if they ever come out with it!!!
I've got a slx dc left hand and enjoy it. People should look at the slx because of the price. I want to get a regular slx for saltwater fishing.
we need the bfs slx in the states. Theres a void in bfs in the low to mid bracket. kasting zephyr bfs is the only name brand reel below the curado bfs. Price a slx bfs at 130-150 and it would sell.
Go with the JDM. I want to get it myself but will wait for your test.
new 23 slx dc and also the slx dc xt tested as a bfs. I already have the older slx dc and the dc xt and the xt is hands down a better casting reel.
Really appreciated this look at the whole line up. Would be great if you could do the same for the tatula daiwa line! Great stuff as always!
I think you should try the SLX DC XT because it is cheaper at JLS as you mentioned. The SLX A does look like a great deal, yes but I don't think you really need to compare it to anything as it won't be much different than the original SLX, IMO.
Thanks as always.
i have picked up a couple of Vanford reels from JLS and they are really great. Thanks for the videos. You opened up my eyes to new markets.
Slx DC XT is easily the best bang for the buck. Probably can rival or out perform curados and cronarchs. It clearly punches above its weight class across the board. My only knock out of it, is the gear that reengages the reel. The machine cut is very rough, I simply replaced the part with a JDM 2017 scorpion part. Hands down best reel I ever owned.
What is the part number for the gear that you replaced? Thanks!
@@salaadin Do you own an slx dc xt and felt how rough it is when you reengage it after a cast? I owned 2 of them and realized its just how they are. It is called an Anti Reverse ratchet (ARR). The slx dc xt isnt made in japan, its made in Thailand if I could recall. The stock ARR is a couple of mm wider than the JDM 2017 scorpion ARR and it seems to be made out of steel instead of aluminum which is why it turns out to be roughly cut. 17 scorpion shares the same body and parts as the slx dc xt. After I switched that annoying ARR I cant put this reel down!
@@KyoloFlash No I don't own a SLX DC XT yet but I want one to pair with my Metanium DC so just factoring how much additional I need to spend for a comparable user experience. But thanks, I will go look for how much it will cost to replace that ARR.
We need a slx 200
Agreed..in a DC model as well.
Hey, I'm a shimano reel junky as well haha... you turned me on to the SLX DC XT 70 I had to have 1 after I saw your review on it, I absolutely love it!... Although I did buy a original SLX reel when they came out and I ended up trading back in to my local tackle shop after the drag star no longer clicked and the drag would also loosen itself after light use. Since they no longer stocked the original they gave me a SLX A instead ... it is alot quieter and the drag doesn't seem to loosen nearly as easily over time... Because I've already fished with the SLX A reel my vote would be the new SLX DC Japan model reel. Although my next purchase will probably be the SLX BFS reel ✌️
I have owned all of them! I kept the XT and the MGL. Sold the others and bought a curado
Just grabbed the 23 SLX DC. Wish this had come out a few weeks ago. You’d think the newest one is the best one. I’m sure I’ll be plenty happy with it.
I have several SLX models not including the BFS model. Honestly loving the 70 MGL right now. Great reel and tough to beat the MGL spool IMO. Definitely cannot pick a bad SLX reel; great line for every budget.
I like the curado and scorpion BFS Reels over SLX I know it’s the same reel but it’s because it’s green and gold that’s why but I never buy them because I would buy the metanuim 100 over both of these reels that’s me
Just got my scorpion Dc 17 based off your videos! Can be more happy!
I hope the slx dc xt is in here.
I want the JDM SLX dc vs the DC xt battle.. wondering what is the difference between IDC 4 vs IDC 5..
I would go with the JDM
SLX DC-XT reel. How much does the US charge you to import a reel from Japan?
Bro, Do a shimano DC Buyers Guide!
The 23 slx dc 70 is not the same frame as the usdm slx dc. It is a smaller frame to fit the new smaller mgl 3 spool. You can feel and see in person that it is a smaller reel
I vote new JDM DC and if you're feeling nice I need a bfs reel so I'll do the long term test if you send it down under to Oz 😉
New DC for sure but I really really want to see the new blue Bates real. Everyone is talking about the casting distance is best on the market
I’d really like to see the 23 SLX DC vs the 22 SLX XT. I’m enjoying the 23 but I’m curious about the XT. The 23 has the same MGL spool as the 22.
Can the new spool of 23 slx dc fit in the older 20slx dc model?
Can anyone tell me how much 15 or 20lb braid the slx dc xt would hold. Thanks
Please do a review of the JDM SLX DC 70
This one is easy, SLX DC XT. We all know that the SLX A is going to be a killer workhorse reel for the common man. The JDM SLX DC XT is for the hardcore gear head.
Japanese SLX DC
Where is the SLX BFS Black Reel I have mine on a 6’9” rod
Slx dc xt JDM
Why not both? Haha definitely get the DC XT!
My first baitcaster was the original slx for 70€ cant fault it, but now looking for another baitcaster to compliment it, since i cant be bothered using spinning reels anymore if a baitcaster is available. So thank you for making this overview!
me gustaría tener tener uno es muy bueno me gusta mucho yo kieto un slx
Hi brother I’m
Waiting for your opinion about the salty Stage prototype rod??
Why Japan models are cheaper than Americans?
Exchange rates are lower. Meaning American dollars has more value when converted to Japanese yen
Jdm 4 life
Nahh..save money for kastking ireel one ifc bruhh..we want you to review it.. hehe
Wonder Why are the Japanese are making 3 same models an putting on a different name in the MGL and the BFS PLUSthey making them in the same factory 😮🧐🤔
the slx dc tx makes the curado dc look like trash lol
Dc!!!!!!!!!
American version
Can anyone tell me how much 15 or 20lb braid the slx dc xt would hold. Thanks
