SHIMANO FISHING REELS Twin Power XD PG A Spinning Reel

The TWINPOWER XD re-writes the rule book and is the most powerful model in the MAGNUMLITE series. Designed for the inshore saltwater angler, it is at equally at home fishing for large predators in freshwater thanks to its sensitivity and super fast rotation. The ultra-light, fast-response MGL rotor provides precise lure control, while HAGANE Gear and aluminium body provide durability for relentless cranking power. The addition of MicroModule II and Silent Drive further enhances the smoothness and fishing experience. Add to that the internal protection from saltwater with X Protect, plus superior casting performance from the Long Stroke Spool design and you have the perfect strong, lightweight and durable reel for the serious saltwater angler. Specifications: - Body Material: Ci4+ - Bearings: 10+1 - Family Type: Spinning - Extra Spool: No - Spool Material: Cold Forged Alu - Waterproof Drag: Yes - Handle: Screw In Machined Alu Single Handle - Weight (g): 245 - Gear Ratio: 4.4:1 - Max Drag (kg): 11 - Line Capacity (mm/m): 0.25-260/0.30-180/0.35-130 Technology: HAGANE GEAR: - The HAGANE Drive Gear is produced by Shimano’s coldforging technology, without the need for additional machining. This delivers a longlasting smoothness, strength, lightness and power at the very heart of the reel. Traditional diecast, machined gears are less durable under heavy loads. MICROMODULE_II: - Improved Micro Module gearing, making the reeling extreme smooth. XSHIP: - XShip is a combination of features that work together to create much greater efficiency. By positioning the pinion gear close to the centre line of the large diameter drive gear, more power is transferred from the handle to the rotor. The pinion gear is also supported by two Shimano ARB roller bearings. This creates more stability. HAGANE BODY: - The HAGANE Body is produced from highrigidity aluminium or magnesium. This creates stiffness and impact resistance, while at the same time eliminating flexing of the body. The result is a rocksolid housing and support for the moving internal gearing and greater efficiency throughout the reel. MGL ROTOR: - The new design of the Magnumlite Rotor produces unprecedented light rotation. The rotor profile, which was previously symmetrical, is now asymmetrical. The bail arm mechanism, which was previously situated on the same side as the line roller, has been moved to the opposite side. This improves balance and combined with a lightweight line roller, titan bail and optimum arrangement of rotor thickness, a 14% saving in rotation inertia has been achieved increasing sensitivity to previously unreached levels. SILENT_DRIVE: - Removed ‘clicking’ sound and ‘handle play’ and overall improved smooth reeling. G FREE BODY: - G Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel’s centre of gravity closer to the rod. This has been achieved by moving the worm shaft oscillation mechanism 19mm from the bottom of the reel to the top. By moving the centre of gravity closer to the anglers hand position, the G Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort. ARC SPOOL: - Shimano ARC Spool is a patented spool design with an angled spool lip. This design enables the line to leave the spool with less friction and in smaller coils resulting in longer more accurate casts. ARC spools are proven to reduce backlash and wind knots when using braid. CI4 PLUS: - CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4. This highly technical material is 2.5 times stiffer than CI4 and is used on many highend Shimano reels to increase weight savings. Use of CI4+ for the body and rotor also delivers remarkable stiffness for better reel efficiency. LONG_STROKE_SPOOL: - The long stroke spool has longer stroke compared to conventional spool designs. This longer stroke specification results in greater casting distance. S ARB: - Shimano S ARB bearings are high corrosion resistant ARB ball bearings with an extra shield for improved protection against sand, salt or dust. ONE PIECE BAIL: - The onepiece bail wire has no gap for line to snag on during normal operation. Made of Stainless Steel, it reduces friction and allows the line to get onto the line roller quicker. CROSS_CARBON_DRAG: - The cross carbon drag provides a wider range of drag setting, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.
