Shimano TwinPower XD FA Spinning Reel
Toughness and sensitivity are not often words affiliated with one another but both define the new TwinPower XD, Shimano’s toughest offering in the Magnumlite Series of spinning reels. The MGL Rotor provides light, sensitive rotation for increased control when working a lure or jig with purpose and precision. This rotor also enables anglers to come tight quickly to set the hook when an inshore game fish bites.
Equipped with Shimano’s MicroModule Gear II technology, the TwinPower XD delivers refined and ultra-smooth reeling performance. The rigid-aluminum HAGANE Body enhances rigidity and power transmission, improving efficiency when fighting even the toughest inshore species.

Great balance between durability and sensitivity. The reel responds well to light lures and performs reliably in windy conditions. The HAGANE body gives a strong feel when fighting fish.

Solid performance for inshore use. The reeling is smooth and the hook-setting is fast. A bit heavier than other Magnumlite models, but worth it for serious inshore fishing.
