SHIMANO TWIN POWER SW

Challenge the impossible with the uncompromising toughness of Twin Power SW.

With power and vigor, the Twin Power SW is all about unyielding toughness. The Twin Power SW reassures you with its highly rigid body parts for more aggressive fishing styles, a superior water resistance internal structure and unmatched power to reel in even the larger species underwater. The NEW Twin Power SW now inherits the Infinity Drive and Heat Sink Drag found on the Stella SW, giving it overwhelming power and durability for both shore and off-shore games!

PRODUCT TECHNOLOGIEHAGANE

HAGANE is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.

HAGANE GEAR

With amazing strength and durability, the HAGANE Gear is at the very heart of most Shimano reels. Shimano, through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives anglers the long-lasting smoothness and enjoyment that is felt when anglers first use a reel, over and over again. No cutting work is applied to the teeth of the drive gear during fabrication; instead, the entire surface is calculated in minute detail by a special 3D design and then formed by Shimano's cold-forging technology. The result is assured resilience. HAGANE Gear is the result of Shimano's endless pursuit for durability — this strength and power of forged metal continue to represent the fundamental concept of Shimano reels.

X SHIP

X SHIP provides improved gear performance. Large diameter drive gear, optimally positioned pinion gear and drive gear, and two points bearings supported pinion gear produce light reeling under load.

HAGANE BODY

The use of lightweight and rigid metals such as aluminum and magnesium firmly suppresses deflection, distortion, and torsion of the reel. This protects delicate gear meshing and enables smooth reeling.

INFINITYDRIVE

INFINITYDRIVE is a new main shaft supporting structure that improves winding torque and allows for incredibly smooth and light rotation.

HEATSINK DRAG

HEATSINKDRAG is a revolutionary structure to prevent the drag force reduction by drag heat. The ''HEATSINK panel'' located at the bottom of the spool dissipate heat generated by drag. In addition, the "heat-insulating sheet" has succeeded in reducing the temperature rise in the winding area.

SILENTDRIVE

The basic design of the entire body and drive-related parts were reviewed one by one to reduce minute rattles, gaps, and shaking between parts down to the smallest detail. It provides smooth and quiet reel rotation.

X SHIELD

The body is water-resistant equivalent to IPX8 by water-resistant seals on the body, side covers, and other parts of the body.

X PROTECT

For medium and small general-purpose spinning reels, which require lighter spinning, we focused on a non-contact structure that does not compromise the lightness of the spinning. In addition to conventional water-repellent treatment, a labyrinth structure that suppresses water penetration is combined to achieve high water-resistant performance despite the non-contact nature of the structure. It is used in the stopper bearing section and line roller section. Large reels for saltwater, a contact-type water-resistant structure is used for large spinning reels that require higher water-resistant performance. By physically cutting off the entry path of seawater with a low-sliding seal member, high water-resistant performance is achieved while suppressing rotational resistance. The stopper bearing and line roller parts are adopted, and the stopper bearing part in particular achieves a water-resistant rating equivalent to IPX8.

X TOUGH DRAG

Each washer is made of only metal and carbon to support the spool from both the top and bottom. Smooth and stable drag performance has been refined by improving heat resistance and durability.

AR-C SPOOL

The spool has a special spool ring shape. This creates a rectifying effect on the line and realizes both suppression of line trouble and long casting performance.

RIGID SUPPORT DRAG

By strengthening the spool support of the main shaft, the play and fluctuation of the spool during drag operation are reduced. The RIGID SUPPORT DRAG allows smooth and consistent drag delivery.

SA-RB

S A-RB bearings are put through the same process as Shimano’s A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the rotation of the bearing.

ONE-PIECE BAIL

ONE-PIECE BAILallows the line to travel unimpeded to the line roller. The seamless design reduces friction and decreases the chance of tangles or the line catching on the bail arm.

KAISUI OK

Models that can be used in saltwater

X-PROTECT for line roller

The X-PROTECT structure was installed in the stopper bearing of the previous model and greatly contributed to the realization of high waterproof performance. In addition to the stopper bearing section, the new TWINPOWER SW is equipped with the X-PROTECT structure in the line roller section, further improving its waterproof performance. As with the stopper bearing section, the sealing material physically blocks the seawater intrusion route, evolving a structure that can withstand high water pressure. The bearing inside the line roller is protected from the harsh environment, and the durability of the bearing is 10 times higher* than that of the conventional product.

X Rigid Rotor

By using an aluminum alloy and verifying the thickness arrangement in detail through repeated 3D analysis, we have achieved tougher rigidity, durability, and excellent rotation balance than ever before. This high rigidity also contributes to improved functionality of the drag and other parts.

X-PROTECT for stopper bearing

A contact-type triple lip structure is used in the stopper bearing section. The waterproof performance of the body part is equivalent to IPX8 waterproof standard due to the synergistic effect of the X SHIELD.

CI4+ handle knob

Models from No. 4000 to No. 8000 are equipped with handle knobs made of CI4+, a lightweight carbon material with excellent rigidity and durability. The new design also realizes a further weight reduction, and at the same time, a special coating is applied to prevent slippage, further improving the smoothness of the winding process. It provides an excellent feeling of use. (Lightweight hollow oval round handle knobs are standard on the 10,000 to 14,000 models.)0 to 14,000 models.)
