Advanced castability meets lightweight handling in the Shimano® SLX DC/Bass Pro Shops® Pro Qualifier® Baitcast Combo. A great reel and a great rod, together—you'll hit the water with confidence, every day.

Specially equipped with Digital Control braking, the Shimano SLX DC Baitcast Reel features a low-profile, all-metal Hagane® body. It's the perfect rigid framework for smooth, balanced winding, and houses the computerized cast control system, which automatically applies the correct brake pressure to prevent backlash and maximize distance. On the retrieve, you'll find the 4+1 bearing system to be lean and efficient, while the sturdy drag system provides up to 11-12 lbs. of maximum drag. Extended handle for extra cranking power.

The Bass Pro Shops Pro Qualifier Baitcast Rod is crafted on our exclusive RT3™ Graphite blank using Powerwall™ construction, which creates a strong, structurally sound rod with reduced wall thickness. With minimal weight and enhanced sensitivity, this rod is perfect for long days on the water. Fuji Concept "O" guides with aluminum oxide inserts; 2-piece minimalist reel seat with maximized blank exposure; split-grip handle for outstanding balance; lightweight EVA grips with X-wrap enhance comfort in all conditions.
