Shimano 25 Twinpower XD

The Magnum Light series takes advantage of the lightness and responsiveness of its low-inertia rotor made of carbon fiber-reinforced resin CI4+ demonstrating its true value in technical fishing. The Twin Power XD among other reels stands out for its robust design focusing on strength. In addition to the solid feel of the HAGANE body the addition of Infinity Cross and Infinity Drive improves gear durability and reeling power. The new drag washer Duracross material provides outstanding wear resistance and smooth reliable drag performance. Furthermore the Infinity Loop improves casting feel NEW X Protect reduces the intrusion of foreign objects into the line roller and anti-twist fins reduce line trouble further enhancing usability in tough environments. The lineup includes six models from the C3000 which is effective in both freshwater and saltwater to the C5000 which is also ideal for light shore jigging.
Among the Twin Power series which is known for its simplicity and robustness the Twin Power XD is a model that focuses on light operability and sensitivity using the Magnum Light Rotor. Lightweight highly sensitive and with a comfortable winding feel it is equipped with the toughness that inherits the Twin Power lineage making it perfectly suited to technical games that involve repeated reeling and stopping. Meanwhile compared to the Magnum Light series which pursues lightness and response the Twin Power XD is characterized by the sturdy specifications that are typical of Twin Power. As a reel that combines the characteristics of each its presence is unshakable. The Magnum Light Rotor used in the Twin Power XD has an asymmetrical structure. It achieves unprecedented lightness of rotation and improved operability making it easier to sense changes in line tension on the rotor resulting in excellent reeling sensitivity. Furthermore the low inertia design improves the initial and still-acting response of the reel allowing you to instantly respond to sudden hits. With precise control you can freely control the lure's movement the sharpness of its action and the uniformity of the reel leading to a bite. The body is made of a hybrid of high-strength carbon fiber CI4+ and aluminum. CI4+ which incorporates high-strength carbon fiber into resin is more rigid than standard reinforced resins ensuring sufficient strength for normal use even when used alone.However the Twin Power XD follows the philosophy of simplicity and strength and pursues even greater rigidity by using aluminum in the foot area which is particularly subject to stress. It inherits the excessive rigidity that the Twin Power series has pursued for many years. While maintaining the lightness sensitivity and operability that are characteristic of the Magnum Light series the reel is equipped with Infinity Cross which increases the contact area of the gear teeth and distributes the load on the teeth and Infinity Drive which is an evolution of X-SHIP and reduces frictional resistance in the drive system further improving winding power and gear durability. An ironclad waterproof structure starting with Twin Power XDNEW X Protect reduces water intrusion into the line roller ensuring the maintenance of initial performance. The NEW X Protect technology featured in this model enhances the durability of the line roller by utilizing centrifugal force to expel water from the roller in addition to a labyrinth structure and special water-repellent grease. Unlike conventional designs the new design incorporates a water-blocking wall in the line roller utilizing the centrifugal force generated by the rotor's rotation to expel water from the roller. NEW X Protect significantly reduces the intrusion of waterborne contaminants and further protects the line roller by facilitating the expulsion of water that has already invaded. Not only does it reduce unpleasant noise and provide a comfortable rotation feel but it also boasts approximately three times the durability improvement in our test comparison.
