In this video, I answer the question "Is the Shimano SLX DC XT really a bait finesse Digitally Controlled reel in disguise?" It's not marketed as a BFS reel, but after using it seemed to have potential. So I decided to push it as low as I could. The real question is: did I bring lures that were light enough?
Seriously, this reel just blew my mind. This reel truly could revolutionize finesse fishing and make it virtually impossible for anyone to backlash. Watch the video to see why!
