Shimano Twin Power XD spinning reel

Technology involving the redesign of as many as 11 reel components to achieve the quietest possible operation.

Shimano-branded sealing technology to protect the reel's internal mechanisms from water ingress.

Technology that eliminates vibration on the spool, even when the brake is firmly applied. Ensures smooth brake operation.

Shimano brand technology based on a specially designed spool, which has a patented shape that allows the line to slip smoothly during casting.

Shimano brand reel design based on cold forged gearing. Such a gear is strong and offers greater resistance to overload than die-cast gears. The overall result is increased durability of the reel.

G-Free Body technology has been developed to move the centre of gravity of the reel closer to the rod. This was achieved by raising the drive shaft by 19mm. This move has directed the centre of gravity towards the angler's hand, resulting in better ergonomics and easier use. The result is less hand fatigue when fishing.

CI4+ is an improved version of the original CI4. This material, with its exceptional technological advances, is characterised by a stiffness that exceeds by as much as 2.5 times that of CI4, and can only be found in Shimano's most expensive, extremely lightweight reels. With CI4+, it is possible to achieve significant towing power while maintaining reliability and no risk of deformation of parts.

X-SHIP technology is an innovative system that significantly improves the efficiency and power of the reel's gears. Its main purpose is to eliminate twist and flex in the rotor. As a result, even during heavy loads, the crank turns smoothly and with ease.

SA-RB technology from Shimano is an advanced bearing system that is an evolution of the well-known and highly regarded A-RB solution. The most important feature of SA-RB bearings is their outstanding corrosion resistance, making them the ideal choice for extreme conditions such as offshore fishing or intensive use in variable weather conditions.

With LONG STROKE SPOOL technology, the longer stroke allows for smoother and longer casts while minimising the risk of line tangling. With the longer spool stroke, the user feels more precision and stability when casting, resulting in better performance and accuracy of casts.

It is an advanced solution that optimises the flow of line without any obstruction all the way to the reel. Its one-piece, seamless construction minimises friction, significantly reducing the risk of line tangling or the possibility of cutting into the reel arm. Thanks to this technology, anglers can expect smoother and more precise casting, resulting in more efficient and comfortable fishing.

MicroModule Gear Ⅱ technology is the latest development in gear design, which is further enhanced by advanced gear surface design and Shimano's exclusive manufacturing technology. It provides users with an incomparable experience when using equipment equipped with this technology.

The MGL ROTOR technology is a state-of-the-art rod rotor, made of lightweight Ci4+ material with an asymmetrical shape. This makes it lighter, which increases the smoothness of the rotation. The retrieve mechanism has been moved to the opposite side of the rotor to the reel, which changes the centre of gravity during rotation. These changes result in 30% less rotor resistance.

Cross Carbon Drag technology is a brake system that uses carbon fibre pads. It provides greater flexibility in settings and smoother operation during loading.
