Concept Movie
Key Feature
Thoroughly trained model of trust
The first generation Twin Power took its first step as Shimano's highest grade spinning reel at the time. At the root of this was simplicity and robustness. It was the product of many actual fishing tests conducted by the development team, who are highly skilled craftsmen. Since the first generation, Twin Power has been one of the first to incorporate cutting-edge materials and mechanisms, and has captivated anglers with a fresh appearance that coexists with a sense of security and exhilaration through coloring and design that match the concept. The current Twin Power is the core model of the Core Solid series, which has built the foundation of Shimano spinning reels, and the idea of simplicity and robustness has not wavered and has been inherited to this day.
Design refined in the field
The reason why Twin Power is simple and sturdy yet sensual is because it is like a tool that a craftsman has cultivated to fit in his hands. The spool design, which can be said to be the face of NEW Twin Power, is not extravagant, but has a ruggedness, yet it has been completed by silently connecting delicate lines. It's as if it speaks to the angler's sensibilities. It can be said that it is a model that satisfies the hearts of anglers not only by owning it, but also by using it. Among the many spinning reels out there, this may be the reason why many core anglers continue to use the Twin Power of all generations.
The true goal, where reliability increases as the load increases
In addition to the metal rotor and HAGANE body, the Twin Power has been further strengthened by adding Infinity Cross and Infinity Drive inherited from Stella. Prevent the target from escaping and tear it out from its roots. The sense of rigidity that transmits the angler's full effort into the handle at that moment that determines the fate of the game is sure to inherit the twin power concept that drives the real thing.
Selected models with metal rotors
Like the 20 Twin Power, the NEW Twin Power uses metal for the rotor. The metal rotor is highly rigid and has a moderate amount of inertia, providing a moist and smooth rotational feeling. Furthermore, it suppresses deflection and distortion, contributing to improved hooking and drag performance.
Only the Core Solid series Stella and this Twin Power are equipped with metal rotors. The metal rotor contributes to Twin Power's unchanging concept of simplicity and robustness.
Body design aiming for excessive rigidity
The CI4 used in Twin Power has a reinforced structure in which high-strength carbon fiber is kneaded into the resin. This combination of carbon fiber achieves higher rigidity compared to reinforced resin.
This is an experiment to compare the amount of deformation when a constant load is applied to reinforced resin, CI4 , and aluminum specimens.
Because CI4 is kneaded with carbon fiber, it has higher rigidity and less deformation than reinforced resin.
Twin Power achieves high rigidity by combining CI4 and aluminum in the body. Even with the CI4 body design, sufficient rigidity is achieved during normal use.
However, what Twin Power has been pursuing for many years is excessive rigidity for actual fishing. By using aluminum for the foot, which is particularly loaded in the body, it has excessive rigidity not found in other reels.
The goal was overwhelming gear durability
[ Infinity Cross ]
Advances in gear tooth surface design and manufacturing technology have improved the contact area between the drive gear and pinion gear. As a result, we succeeded in distributing the load on the tooth surface of the gear over a wider area. It prevents intensive damage and damage, and is about twice as durable as the previous design. * Based on our standard gear durability test

Powerful winding that allows you to always take the initiative
When the rod makes a large arc and stops the target from escaping, you put your hand on the handle knob. The power of the hand is not transmitted to the reels. I can't compete... The solution to such moments is the Infinity Drive, which enables powerful winding even under heavy loads. Because of its powerful reels, it can be lowered than what it is usually used to, and as a result, the angler can take the lead in the powerful reel to catch the big game more easily.
A clear cast feel
For example, when casting a lure. The lure you throw will pull the line and land in the water. However, the Infinity Loop has achieved a casting feel that makes anglers forget the existence of the line. That feeling is like being released, and it's also like shooting an arrow. The significant reduction in resistance when releasing the line not only enables long casts, but also contributes to stabilizing the fall speed after landing on the water.
Line trouble suppression structure for more comfortable fishing
This is an anti-twist fin that prevents the line from sagging, prevents the line from falling to the bottom of the spool, and reduces the phenomenon of the line being wrapped around the spool while being twisted. This prevents the line from getting entangled in the spool or the unnatural winding that can occur with any spinning reel, which many anglers have experienced so far, making fishing more stress-free.
Overwhelming wear resistance, smooth and reliable drag performance
By adopting a drag washer made from a new material, Duracross has increased wear resistance by more than 10 times (*). It is suitable for a wide range of fishing, from bass and trout fishing using light lines where drag smoothness is important, light salt fishing, to inshore and shore fishing where there is a possibility of encountering unexpected big fish.

Technology
Hagane
HAGANE is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.
Hagane Gear
With amazing strength and durability, the HAGANE Gear is at the very heart of most Shimano reels.
Shimano, through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives anglers the long-lasting smoothness and enjoyment that is felt when anglers first use a reel, repeatedly. No cutting work is applied to the teeth of the drive gear during fabrication; instead, the entire surface is calculated in minute detail by a special 3D design and then formed by Shimano's cold-forging technology. The result is assured resilience. HAGANE Gear is the result of Shimano's endless pursuit for durability — this strength and power of forged metal continue to represent the fundamental concept of Shimano reels.
Micromodule II
The MICROMODULE Gear II has evolved with Shimano's unique manufacturing technology and a state-of-the-art gear-tooth surface design. The drive and pinion gear surfaces have been analyzed and updated from the ground up in Shimano's pursuit of perfection to further improve the smooth gear feeling and reduce sound.
X Ship
X SHIP provides improved gear performance. Large diameter drive gear optimally positioned pinion gear and drive gear, and two points bearings supported pinion gear produce light reeling under load.
Hagane Body
The use of lightweight and rigid metals such as aluminum and magnesium firmly suppresses deflection, distortion, and torsion of the reel. This protects delicate gear meshing and enables smooth reeling.
Infinity Loop
Significantly reduced line emission resistance, slippery cast feel
"Super" dense winding beyond dense winding. Due to the evolution of the internal structure, the speed at which the spool moves up and down has been overwhelmingly reduced. By wrapping the lines neatly and precisely one by one on the spool, we succeeded in significantly reducing the release resistance of the lines. It has achieved a slippery cast feel and smooth line delivery.
Infinity Xross
INFINITYXROSS provides superior gear durability through industry-leading design and cutting-edge manufacturing technology. Advancements in the gear tooth design improve the surface contact and meshing between the drive gear and pinion gear. This revolutionary design efficiently distributes the load placed on the gear tooth surface across a wider area to prevent damage from stress points while significantly improving overall gear durability.
INFINITYDRIVE
INFINITYDRIVE is a new main shaft supporting structure that improves winding torque and allows for incredibly smooth and light rotation.
Duracross
DURACROSS provides smooth, reliable drag performance and incredible durability. The material is reinforced by weaving in new fibers in a manner orthogonal to the direction of the fibers that make up conventional drag washers. We have succeeded in increasing abrasion resistance more than 10 times while maintaining smooth drag performance.
Silent Drive
The basic design of the entire body and drive-related parts were reviewed one by one to reduce minute rattles, gaps, and shaking between parts down to the smallest detail. It provides smooth and quiet reel rotation.
Anti Twist Fin
Elastic fins are installed near the line roller section. By suppressing line slack, the fins reduce the phenomenon of line dropping out of the lower part of the spool and line wrapping around the spool while the line is still twisted.
X Protect
For medium and small general-purpose spinning reels, which require lighter spinning, we focused on a non-contact structure that does not compromise the lightness of the spinning. In addition to conventional water-repellent treatment, a labyrinth structure that suppresses water penetration is combined to achieve high water-resistant performance despite the non-contact nature of the structure. It is used in the stopper bearing section and line roller section.
G Free Body
G FREE BODY technology has been developed to shift the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the center of gravity closer to the angler’s hand, the G FREE BODY helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.
AR-C Spool
The spool has a special spool ring shape. This creates a rectifying effect on the line and realizes both suppression of line trouble and long casting performance.
Long Stroke Spool
The LONG STROKE SPOOL has a longer stroke compared to conventional spool designs. It contributes to improved casting feel and distance.
Ci4
A new carbon material that is an evolution of the lightweight carbon material Ci4. The rigidity and durability have been significantly improved while maintaining the lightness, making it possible to make the reel smaller and lighter.
Rigid Support Drag
By supporting the spool with two bearings in the main shaft and spool, it suppresses spool fluctuation and provides stable and smooth drag performance.
S A-RB
S A-RB bearings are put through the same process as Shimano’s A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the rotation of the bearing
ONE-PIECE BAIL
One-piece bail allows the line to travel unimpeded to the line roller. The seamless design reduces friction and decreases the chance of tangles or the line catching on the bail arm.
