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.
Very happy as expected, matched nicely to my miller brawler 2-5kg
This reel is so light I would think of it more like a 3000 or 4000 size reel. I have 2x Stella 5000's that are hardly getting used now, the weight of this reel is amazing. But this reel has 5000 capacity. It's my go-to reel for soft plastics snapper fishing, it can easily catching 1m fish. XG required an adjustment for me, its a little too fast for my preference, catching big fish requires a change in my timing on the lift and wind rhythm. You have to drop the rod tip more noticeably and you can only get one wind in per tip drop when its loaded agains the strong drag. Over all, a very fun and capable reel.
