Shimano installed the DC digital braking system to the super weapon Metanium Mg, to make the lightest low-profile DC reel. This is the most advanced tackle in the market.
DC models have 80mm handles, and DC7 models have 84mm hanldes.
Intelligent DC4 system allows you to pick one of 4 casting modes.
 | Long casting (I-L); Achieving the longest casting distance with relatively heavy rigs in calm wind condition. |
| Middle distance (I-M); Have a little stronger brake than A mode, and you may cast with full strength. Used to cast long with nylon lines. |
| All round (I-A); Allows rigs to be cast without stress. Brake force at the end is reduced to add a few yards. Please set at A mode when you use with fluorocarbon lines. |
| Windy casting (I-W); Allow the best casting in winds from ahead. Great for bulky, light baits as well. |
Then I-DC4 system sets the appropriate braking force automatically. You just fish with fun.
