If you're looking to purchase the Shimano SLX DC, please consider these 5 do's and don'ts.

#1:
Do make sure you're using all of the tools on the reel to maximize your casting efficiency, and preventing unnecessary frustration

DO NOT use incorrect settings, or not use all of the tools and expect positive results. You're setting yourself up to fail.

#2
Do make sure you're spooling the reel to capacity (or as near as possible) so the braking system works as intended.

DO NOT try and get away with having less line that needed.. less line = fast spool speeds = more backlashes.

#3
Do test and find out what works best for you!

DO NOT believe that you're confined to one setting.. once you're comfortable start tweaking and get the most of the reel.

#4
DO condition your line. whether this is through casting, line conditioner, or some other method.. this will save you major headaches.

DO NO assume that you can just spool the reel, and go make legendary casts.. line memory will get you, I promise ;)

#5
DO research, test, and trial and error.. Read reviews, talk to friends, go to the official website..

DO NOT take my word for this exclusively.. While I have experience, you researching, and putting in the time to learn the reel through whatever means you have available, will ultimately provide you the information you need to be successful with this equipment.
