NEW Shimano Aldebaran DC 31, left-hand

Reel technology made in Japan

The Aldebaran DC is Shimano’s premium baitcaster, made with precision and without compromise. Equipped with Shimano’s exclusive I-DC5 Intelligent Digital Control braking system and the advanced HAGANE technology, this reel delivers top performance through and through. The Aldebaran DC is a true masterpiece of design and function and delivers excellent performance at the highest level.

The exceptional Aldebaran DC represents the zenith of Shimano’s baitcasting innovation and is praised worldwide by top anglers as the ultimate choice in terms of versatility and quality. This reel combines an ultra-light design with robust power and first-class feedback and was developed for those anglers who demand flawless performance. Lighter, more direct and more compact than any spinning reel, the Aldebaran DC can be fished for hours without fatigue. The Aldebaran DC is available in both a high-speed (HG) and an extra-high-speed (XG) version, letting you choose the ideal gear ratio for your fishing style. With Shimano’s remarkable I-DC5 braking system, you can expect unrivalled precision and casting distance that set a new standard for control and performance in all situations.

The impressively low weight of the Aldebaran is achieved by combining a magnesium HAGANE body with a Magnumlite (MGL IV) spool. The result is a reel that perfectly balances even the lightest rods. Inside the housing are 10+1 high-quality ball bearings, a MicroModule gear and X-SHIP to ensure silky-smooth running and powerful cranking performance. Fighting performance is further refined by the Cross Carbon Drag, which ensures smoothness and control, and by the Exciting Drag Sound, which gives audible feedback about line being pulled off. But it is the advanced I-DC5 braking system that sets this reel apart. This exclusive digital control braking system automatically adjusts the braking force to achieve optimal precision and casting distance. With three internal and five external adjustment options you can set the reel not only to the line used but also to the size of the lure (plus an additional friction-free setting). This is an exclusive Shimano technology which, combined with Silent Tune and the S3D spool, provides outstanding casting precision.
