2024 Shimano SLX DC Review and First Impressions | The Most Popular Casting Reel of All Time?

In this video I will be testing the Shimano SLX DC Baitcasting reel for the first time! I will take the reel to a local pond to do some bass fishing. I think the best way to do a reel review is to put the reel to the test by catching some fish! I am excited to make this video because this reel is the most popular and iconic fishing reel on the market today. I will share my thoughts about the reel at the end of the video!
Subscribe to the channel for weekly bass fishing videos! My goal is to share fishing tips that will help you enjoy your time on the water! I also want to show how much fun fishing can be!

I’ve been throwing a Metanium dc for the last 2 years and it’s awesome! $500 is a lot though!

I was just at that pond, got nothing 😭😂

do you recommend a 6’6 rod or 7 ft rod for the slx dc, also 1 or 2 piece for the rod? i fish from the bank

[@thesouthwes]

Personally I’d go with a 7 ft one piece

what's the difference in the ratios?

[@thesouthwes]

They are how many times your spool rotates per full turn of the handle. So the lower numbers are slower speed reels
