SHIMANO 24 Twin Power 2500SHG

Simple and sturdy
Twin Power has continued to expand the possibilities of spinning reels and has made a solid evolution. From the first model to the current model, we have consistently pursued durability and functionality in actual fishing without over-decoration. This unchanging concept gives a sense of security to core anglers who frequently visit the field, and Twin Power firmly connects with anglers, becoming a part of them and engraving the experience in their hearts. Twin Power is equipped with the cutting-edge technology installed in Stella, Infinity Cross, Infinity Drive, Infinity Loop, Duracross, and Anti-Twist Fins. Pursuing functionality down to the smallest detail, it will be a presence that is close to the angler in an honest way.

There is no answer. Never has, never will

Fishing is a way to confirm the answer to a hypothesis you have made. The reason why you go to the field many times is because even if you catch a fish, you don't know if your hypothesis was correct or if it was the answer. Because the enemy is nature. Therefore, there is no answer in fishing. Not now, and not in the future.

For 37 years, Shimano has been refining Twin Power based on the concept of simplicity and robustness. Twin Power will continue to pursue the answer to what is truly simple and sturdy while constantly evolving spinning reel technology. There is no end to the pursuit of "toughness." Now and forever.

A thoroughly refined and trusted model

The first Twin Power took its first steps as Shimano's highest-grade spinning reel at the time. Its foundation was simplicity and sturdiness. It was the product of repeated field testing by the development team, who were all craftsmen. Twin Powers from the first generation onwards were early adopters of cutting-edge materials and mechanisms, and their colouring and design were in line with the concept, captivating anglers with their fresh appearance that combined a sense of security and elation. The current Twin Power is the core model of the Core Solid series, which has built the foundation of Shimano spinning reels, and the idea of simplicity and sturdiness has been passed down to the present day without wavering.

Design honed in the field

The reason why Twin Power is simple, sturdy, and yet sensual is probably because it is like a tool that a craftsman has developed to fit his hand. The spool design, which can be said to be the face of the new Twin Power, is not flashy, but is rugged and silently completed by connecting delicate lines. It is as if it speaks to the sensibilities of the angler. It can be said that this model satisfies the heart of the angler not only by owning it, but also by using it. This may be the reason why there are many core anglers who continue to use the successive Twin Powers among the many spinning reels.

The higher the load, the more reliable it becomes. A genuine goal

In addition to the metal rotor and HAGANE body, the power unit of the Twin Power has been further strengthened by adding the Infinity Cross and Infinity Drive inherited from Stella. It prevents the target from escaping and pulls it off from the roots. At that moment that determines the outcome of the game, the rigidity that transmits the angler's full force in the handle makes you convinced that it inherits the concept of the genuine Twin Power that pulls the real thing.

A selected model with a metal rotor

Like the 20 Twin Power, the NEW Twin Power uses a metal rotor. The metal rotor is highly rigid and has moderate inertia, providing a smooth rotation feeling. In addition, it suppresses deflection and distortion, contributing to improved hooking and drag performance.

Only the Stella and Twin Power from the Core Solid series are equipped with metal rotors. The metal rotor contributes to the unchanging concept of Twin Power, its simplicity and robustness.

Body design aimed at excessive rigidity
The CI4+ used in Twin Power has a reinforced structure with high-strength carbon fiber kneaded into the resin. This carbon fiber blend achieves higher rigidity than reinforced resin.

This is an experiment comparing the amount of deformation when a certain load is applied to test pieces of reinforced resin, CI4+, and aluminum. Because CI4+ contains carbon fibers, it has higher rigidity than reinforced resin and exhibits less deformation.

Twin Power achieves high rigidity by combining CI4+ with aluminum in the body. Even with a body design using only CI4+, the rigidity is sufficient for normal use. However, what Twin Power has been pursuing for many years is excessive rigidity in actual fishing. By using aluminum for the foot, which is the part of the body that bears the most load, the reel has an excessive rigidity that other reels do not have.

The aim was to achieve overwhelming gear durability

Infinity Cross reduces the load on the gear teeth and dramatically increases durability by approximately 2 times (※). Increasing the contact area of the gear reduces damage to the gear during power fights and jerks, leading to maintaining the best condition. Routine fishing centered on reeling can be done at a higher level, there is less need to think each time, and the sharpened five senses sometimes awaken the angler's instincts. Being able to sense minute changes in water currents, tides, lake currents, and fish behavior will be a great advantage for anglers.

Powerful winding that puts you in control at all times

When the rod makes a large arc and you put your hand on the handle knob to stop the target from escaping, the strength of your hand is not transmitted to the reel. You can't win the fight... The Infinity Drive allows you to avoid such moments by enabling powerful winding even under high load. Because it is a powerful reel, you can use a lower number than usual, and as a result, the angler can take the initiative and reel in the fish more easily.

A smooth casting feel

For example, when casting a lure, the lure hits the water by pulling the line. However, the Infinity Loop has realized a casting feel that makes the angler forget the existence of the line. The feeling is like letting go, and it is like shooting an arrow. The significant reduction in resistance when releasing the line not only enables long casts, but also contributes to a stable fall speed after hitting the water.

Line trouble prevention structure for more comfortable fishing

Anti-twist fins reduce line slack, preventing the line from falling off the bottom of the spool and reducing the phenomenon of the line being wound around the spool while still twisted. This prevents the line from getting tangled around the spool or unnatural winding, which many anglers have experienced with any spinning reel, allowing for more stress-free fishing.

Overwhelming wear resistance, smooth and reliable drag performance

Duracross uses a new material for the drag washer, which has increased wear resistance by more than 10 times (*). It is suitable for a wide range of fishing, from bass and trout fishing using light lines where smooth drag is important, and light saltwater fishing, to inshore and shore fishing where you may encounter unexpected large fish.

Anti-twist fins
These anti-twist fins reduce line slack, preventing the line from falling off the bottom of the spool and reducing the phenomenon of the line being wound around the spool while still twisted.

2500S high gear model
A high gear standard 2500 size that can be used for everything from bass to mainstream trout. This model is excellent for bass fishing that emphasizes quick response and lure operation in the current, and can handle anything from bass, trout, egging, and light salt.
