The Shimano Twin Power has a proud 30 year history. In 2020, the newly released Twin Power FD is equipped with a metal rotor that integrates Shimano’s Coresolid philosophy of quality and solidness. This is a feature that has been pursued for many years, engineered to suppress distortion and twisting of the reel body under load.
Rigidity and durability of the frame has also been improved significantly, thanks to the metal Hagane Body. In addition, the metal rotor creates a stable winding feel that is comparable to the Stella range – the ultimate in smooth operation. Micromodule Gear II is featured in the new Twin Power and ensures the gears align and perform with nominal resistance and minimal reel noise. Additionally, the Hagane Gear has been upgraded for added strength.
By combining Shimano’s water-repellent coating and specially designed, water channelling, labyrinth construction, X-Protect provides high-level water resistance without sacrificing light gear and rotor rotation. By incorporating the new Long Stroke Spool design, casting performance has also been improved.
The new Twin Power is built on a legacy of dependability - a reel that anglers can use with confidence in any conditions.
