[Light jigging, light casting tackle select] Suitable for spinning light jigging, SLJ, bonito casting 2025 Latest, Twin Power XD

Twin Power pursues ease of use in light game fishing

Twin Power has repeatedly changed its models with technological innovations that have evolved with the times in pursuit of durability and functionality in actual fishing. The high performance of Twin Power has been proven by its many achievements to date. The pinnacle of Shimano’s spinning lures is the Stella, but the Twin Power, equipped with the latest technology, is a popular model that has captured the hearts of many anglers. The Twin Power Magnum Light Series is the Twin Power XD model.

The difference between the Twin Power of the Core Solid Series, which has always been based on the concept of “solidity and quality,” and the Twin Power XD of the Magnum Light Series, which focuses on lightness, sensitivity, and operability, is that while the normal Twin Power uses a metal rotor, the XD model uses a low-inertia, carbon fiber-reinforced resin CI4+ rotor. XD is a model that pursues light operability and sensitivity. The Magnum Light Series’ Magnum Light Rotor is used in the smaller saltwater models Bankish, Vanford, Mirabelle, and Twin Power XD, with Twin Power XD focusing on strength. This strength is ideal for fishing with repeated reeling and stopping. This makes it ideal for casting in offshore games such as bonito fishing, where the angler casts and reels fast to attract fish, and for light jigging and super light jigging, where the angler repeatedly shakes and jerks the lure.

Magnum Light Rotor is characterized by its lightness of rotation and maneuverability over normal twin power. There are many performances brought about by its lightness.

What Magnum Light Rotor brings

Magnum Light Rotor, a low-inertia rotor made of CI4+ carbon fiber reinforced resin used in Twin Power XD, features lightweight rotor material and asymmetrical construction for light winding. Its lightness and improved maneuverability increase sensitivity. It is easier to feel fish bites while reeling the lure, as well as changes in the water. The lightweight rotor also makes the initial movement of reeling quicker. This not only allows the angler to move the lure more precisely, but also to respond immediately to sudden chances of a hit. Incidentally, the metal rotor used in the normal Twin Power in the Core Solid series has a moist and smooth rotation, and is good at keeping a constant reeling action without any stall. Its true value is fully demonstrated in fishing where lures are cast a long distance and reeled in over long distances to attract targets.

Strength inherited from Twin Power, performance inherited from Stella

The strength of the XD model’s body is also inherited from TwinPower’s philosophy of quality and solidity. The body is a hybrid structure of CI4+, a high-strength carbon material, and aluminum, with CI4+ being a structure in which high-strength carbon fiber is kneaded into the resin, making it more rigid than ordinary reinforced resin. Although it is possible to form the entire body with CI4+, TwinPower XD pursues even greater rigidity by using aluminum for the foot section, where the load is applied.

The Twin Power XD also features the Infinity Cross, Shimano’s proven design and manufacturing technology used in the latest Stella, and the Infinity Drive, which enables powerful reeling. In addition, the new drag washer DURACLOTH provides overwhelming abrasion resistance and smooth and reliable drag performance. The Infinity Loop is also equipped, which allows the line to be wound in an orderly and precise manner, greatly reducing line release resistance and improving the casting feel. This also leads to smooth and accurate drag release.

While maintaining the lightness and sensitivity of the Magnum Light Series, the Magnum Light Series is equipped with Infinity Cross, which increases the installation area of the gear tooth surface and distributes the load on the tooth surface to improve winding performance, and Infinity Drive, which reduces friction resistance in the drive unit.

Equipped with DuraDrag, which has overwhelming wear resistance and works smoothly to improve drag performance. It is not only light and maneuverable, but also strong and durable, and can handle large and strong pulling fish with ease despite its small size.

The infinity loop, which allows the line to be wound around the spool in a precise manner, allows the line to be released smoothly when casting or falling, and more accurately and smoothly when using the drag to release the line.

In addition, NEW X-Protect reduces the intrusion of foreign objects into the line roller, and Anti-twist fins reduce line trouble. The NEW Twin Power XD, equipped with all the latest technology, can be used for a wide range of offshore light games and is sure to be a strong ally for anglers. We hope you will try it for yourself and experience its comfort.
