Shimano TwinPower XD FB Spinning Reels – Ready for the Inshore Angler
Built robustly without the sacrifice of smoothness, finesse, and premium feel Shimano has offered anglers for decades, the Shimano TwinPower XD FB Spinning Reels serve to elevate inshore angling performance and dominate many the nearshore fisheries around the world. Its balance sets the reel as the toughest of the MagnumLite series, well suited for precise lure control and fishing with all day long.
The Perfected Balance
Making up the framework of the reel is its Hagane metal body, offering high rigidity and impact resistance. The material and its design eliminate potential reel flex, especially under load such as when fighting a fish. This ultimately results in every bit of an anglers actions and effort turning more directly into cranking power, increasing efficiency through strength.
The Hagane metal body is mated to the reels Ci4+ MGL rotor, constructed of a super tough carbon-reinforced resin material. It cuts much of the weight of the traditional rotor, improving the start and stop inertia for more precise and faster manipulations that benefit a wide range of techniques and tactics. Sacrifices were not made to the rotor's strength, as the design has been proven to be up to 30% more rigid, complimenting the reels high drag performance perfectly.
First-Rate Winding Experience
At the heart of the reel is its Hagane cold forged gearing, highly resilient to hard use with amazing strength and durability. Shimano further refined the reel's gearing design with their InfinityXross technology, which improves surface contact and meshing between the drive gear and pinion. It does this by extending gear teeth horizontally to distribute load across a wider surface area, eliminating potential stress points. Overall gear durability is improved, lasting countless fish and hard use for seasons to come.
Achieving New Distance
Aiding in the ease of anglers looking to reach far breaking fish or simply cover water, Shimano incorporated their InfinityLoop technology which drastically reduces line friction on the cast. Several advancements and redesign efforts extend the spools oscillation with an extremely slow speed, tightening overall line lay with a more precise wind. Ultimately, casting becomes much smoother and lighter lures become much easier to throw.
