Shimano Aldebaran DC Casting

Shimano Aldebaran DC 31: The Ultimate Bait Finesse System (BFS) Reel. The Shimano Aldebaran DC 31 represents the pinnacle of precision baitcasting reel engineering. This BFS (Bait Finesse System) reel is uncompromisingly designed for anglers who demand elite performance when casting ultra-light lures.

Unmatched Technology and Performance

The heart of the Aldebaran DC 31 is Shimano's exclusive I-DC5 Intelligent Digital Control braking system. This advanced digital control drag automatically adjusts the braking force, ensuring unparalleled accuracy and casting distance in every situation. The I-DC5 system, a Shimano exclusive, offers exceptional versatility thanks to:

Three internal adjustments for line type.

Five external adjustments (from large lures to light lures, plus a free spool setting) to perfectly match lure size.

This technology, combined with Silent Tune and the S3D spool design, elevates casting precision to a new standard.

Ultralight and Robust Design

Built for fatigue-free BFS fishing, the Aldebaran DC 31 is even lighter than the lightest spinning reels. The impressive weight reduction is achieved through the combination of a HAGANE Magnesium Body and the Magnumlite Spool (MGL IV). The result is an ultralight reel that perfectly balances the most sensitive finesse rods.

Essential Construction Features:

HAGANE: Robust technology for power and responsiveness.

10+1 High-quality Bearings.

MicroModule Gearing and X-SHIP for powerful and silent winding.

Extreme Versatility

It is the compact and direct baitcasting reel perfect for hours of Black Bass or other predator fishing requiring maximum precision and responsiveness.
