SHIMANO 23 Power Aero TD Hyoujyun

Catch big fish with Shimano's unique twin drag and overwhelming winding performance!
The Power Aero TD (Twin Drag) is a power model packed with Shimano's latest technology, including the twin drag that instantly starts, which is essential for big game casting fishing. The Infinity Drive provides powerful winding, the Rigid Cast provides a solid sense of rigidity when casting, and the Silent Drive provides quietness when winding, supporting comfortable and relaxed big game fishing. It has also evolved further by incorporating X-Protect, which improves waterproof performance, and the highly durable drag washer Duracross. In addition, the drag knob assembly has been made compact without compromising operability, resulting in a significant weight reduction of over 10g.

Instantly restores drag settings when waiting for a bite. Twin drags that instantly activate are essential for casting big fish with a stationary rod

TWIN DRAG Instant start twin drag
Not only can you instantly turn the drag on and off, but you can also adjust the drag setting when waiting for a bite according to the target fish and the conditions of the fishing spot. When targeting large gizzard shad with a stationary rod or flathead or flounder using live bait, set the drag setting when waiting to bite loosely so as not to cause discomfort to the target fish. Also, when fishing in a fishing spot with a fast tide or when targeting red sea bream or yellow porgy, if you want to set the drag a little stronger, set the drag setting when waiting to bite strong. It is very troublesome to fine-tune these drag settings when waiting for a bite after every cast. It also makes it difficult to return the lure, which can lead to problems. The instant-activation twin drag eliminates this hassle and sluggishness.

Step 1
First, loosen the drag knob A. Then, turn the preset knob B according to the target fish and the fishing conditions, and set the drag to your desired waiting-for-a-bite state. Then, you're done.

Step 2
When casting, tighten the drag knob A and cast. (It tightens instantly.)

Step 3
After casting, simply loosen the A drag knob and the drag will instantly return to the standby state you set earlier.

* If you adjust the B preset knob first, you can instantly restore the drag setting that was in standby. This is the instant-start twin drag.

Drag knob assembly significantly lightened by over 10g

The drag knob assembly has been completely redesigned and resized. By minimizing the area where your fingers come into contact and trimming down other areas, we have succeeded in significantly reducing the weight by over 10g (※) without sacrificing ease of use.
