SHIMANO 17 Twin Power XD C3000XG

A new Twin Power has been born, tuned with the keyword of extreme durability (XD)! The mission is to provide reliable durability for shore jigging, sea bass games on rocks and wading, and micro jigging. One of them is "increased gear strength". Shimano's unique high-precision processing technology ensures strength comparable to the previous model's one-size larger model. In addition, waterproofness is improved with the waterproof structure "X Protect" reinforced by the labyrinth structure. The durability of the drag has also been greatly improved by adopting a carbon cross washer. It is a tough machine that overturns conventional wisdom.

HAGANE Gear
A metal block is pressed with a pressure of about 200 tons and finished with micron-level precision without cutting. A unique technology called precision cold forging produces hard, resilient gears, allowing for a smooth reeling experience.

Carbon Cross Washer
The drag starts smoothly under low and high loads, and the change in drag performance due to frictional heat is very small. It is also a highly durable material.

HAGANE Body
By using highly rigid aluminum, the reel's deflection, distortion, and twisting are firmly suppressed. It protects the delicate gear meshing and enables smooth reeling.

X-SHIP
Larger diameter drive gear, optimal positioning of both pinion and drive gears, and two-point support by bearings on the pinion gear. The meshing of these sturdy gears maintains a light reeling that is resistant to loads.

G Free Body
The G Free Body is used, with the worm shaft placed above the drive gear and the center of gravity closer to the hand. Lightweight The weight feels even lighter at the sensory level, allowing for aggressive fishing with excellent operability.

NEW Magnum Light Rotor
We have succeeded in removing the material from the line roller side. Rotational inertia has been reduced by up to 14%.
The NEW Magnum Light Rotor has achieved an unprecedented level of rotational lightness that defies common sense. The secret lies in the complete rethinking of the symmetrical rotor structure that was previously taken for granted. The bail return mechanism that was previously installed on the line roller side has been installed and transplanted to the cam side. Furthermore, we have succeeded in reducing the rotational inertia by up to 14% by reducing the weight of the line roller, making the bail out of titanium, and optimizing the positioning of the rotor thickness. Please experience the sensitivity and operability that comes from the unknown rotational lightness.

NEW Magnum Light Rotor
Rotor rigidity increased by up to 30%.
The evolution of the rotor is not limited to lightness. The rotor rigidity on the line roller side is an important factor that contributes to drag performance, but the NEW Magnum Light Rotor is (30% more rigid than the previous model)

Titanium one-piece veil
Equipped with a one-piece veil made of lightweight and strong titanium, manufactured in a seamless one-piece mold. It looks beautiful and is trouble-free.

Large diameter drag knob
Equipped with a large diameter drag knob. It is highly operable, allowing for quick and fine drag adjustment even during the fight, allowing the angler to fight as they wish.

Impregnable waterproof structure X Protect.
Waterproof structure with water-repellent treatment and labyrinth structure.
The X Protect used in the Twin Power XD requires lighter rotation performance, so a new waterproof structure was developed specifically for it. We have stuck to a non-contact type that does not impair the lightness of rotation, and by combining a new water-repellent treatment and a labyrinth structure that prevents water from entering, we have achieved high waterproof performance while being non-contact. Due to its lightness of rotation, it can also be used for line rollers, and the salt-sticking durability of the line roller bearings has been greatly improved in addition to the body part.
