The Shimano Aldebaran DC is Shimano’s premium baitcasting reel, crafted with precision and without compromise. Equipped with Shimano's exclusive I-DC5 Intelligent Digital Control braking system and advanced HAGANE technology, this reel delivers elite performance. The Aldebaran DC stands as a true masterpiece in both design and function and delivers faultless tournament-level performance.
The exceptional Aldebaran DC is Shimano’s pinnacle of baitcasting innovation, praised by top anglers as the ultimate choice for versatility and quality. Built for those who demand top-tier performance, this reel combines ultra-lightweight design with robust power and responsiveness. Lighter than even the lightest spinning reels, and more direct and compact, you can fish with the Aldebaran DC for hours without fatigue. Available in both high-speed (HG) and extra high-speed (XG) options, the Aldebaran DC lets you dial in the ideal speed for your fishing style. With Shimano’s remarkable I-DC5 braking system, expect unmatched precision and casting distance, setting a new standard for control and performance in all situations.
The impressive lightness of the Aldebaran is achieved through the combination of a HAGANE magnesium body and Magnumlite (MGL IV) spool. The result is a reel that balances the very lightest rods perfectly. Inside the body there are 10+1 high quality bearings, MicroModule Gearing and X-SHIP, which deliver silky smooth, powerful winding. Fish-playing is further refined by the inclusion of Cross Carbon Drag, which offers smoothness and control across a wide range of pressure, and Exciting Drag Sound which gives audible feedback of the pressure being exerted. But it’s the advanced I-DC5 system that makes this reel so desirable. This exclusive digital control braking system automatically adjusts brake force for optimal casting precision and distance. With three internal and five external dial adjustment settings you can set the reel for not only the type of line you are using but also the size of lure, from large to light finesse (plus an additional friction free). This technology is exclusive to Shimano and combined with Silent Tune and a S3D spool design enhances casting performance to levels of precision rarely seen.
