Shimano SLX BUYERS GUIDE... WHICH SHOULD YOU BUY? 

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.

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 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.

We need a slx 200

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Go with the JDM. I want to get it myself but will wait for your test.

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

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.

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 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

I hope the slx dc xt is in here.

Just got my scorpion Dc 17 based off your videos! Can be more happy!

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?

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

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.

Can the new spool of 23 slx dc fit in the older 20slx dc model?

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

Can anyone tell me how much 15 or 20lb braid the slx dc xt would hold. Thanks

Bro, Do a shimano DC Buyers Guide!

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 😉

Japanese SLX DC

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.

Slx dc xt JDM

Please do a review of the JDM SLX DC 70

Where is the SLX BFS Black Reel I have mine on a 6’9” rod

me gustaría tener tener uno es muy bueno me gusta mucho yo kieto un slx

Why not both? Haha definitely get the DC XT!

Nahh..save money for kastking ireel one ifc bruhh..we want you to review it.. hehe

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!

Hi brother I’m Waiting for your opinion about the salty Stage prototype rod??

Jdm 4 life

Why Japan models are cheaper than Americans?

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
