The Shimano Twin Power FE is a high-end spinning reel series designed for anglers who demand dependable power, rock-solid rigidity and refined smoothness in every turn of the handle. A lightweight yet super-rigid aluminium body and rotor keep the reel precise under load, making it a perfect choice for modern lure fishing with high-resistance baits and long presentations.
Under heavy pressure the Twin Power FE stays composed and stable. The rigid aluminium construction keeps the body and rotor from flexing, so the internal gearing can work at peak efficiency even when you fish deep-diving crankbaits, heavy soft baits or when a strong fish makes a sudden run. The compact, well-balanced design gives the reel a surprisingly light feel for its power class, reducing fatigue during long days on the water.
The family includes a wide range of sizes from compact 2000 models for light and finesse presentations up to powerful 5000 versions for demanding predator tactics. Anglers can choose between standard, high and extra-high gear ratios to match their preferred style – from slow, controlled retrieves to fast, aggressive lure work.
The Twin Power FE is packed with Shimano's latest engineering solutions to deliver long-lasting smoothness and reliable power. HAGANE Gear provides a cold-forged main gear with a precise tooth profile, while X-SHIP supports the pinion gear at both ends to keep the drive train aligned under load. Micro Module II and Silent Drive work together to minimise play and vibration, giving the reel a refined, almost frictionless feel when turning the handle.
The INFINITY technologies take performance even further. INFINITY DRIVE reduces internal friction and increases torque, so the reel feels lighter and stronger at the same time when winching heavy lures or fighting strong fish. INFINITYXROSS improves the way the gear teeth mesh for durability and power transfer, while INFINITYLOOP creates a slow oscillation pattern that lays the line more evenly on the spool to enhance casting distance and control.
To handle sudden runs and close-range lunges, the Twin Power FE uses the advanced Duracross Drag system. It offers a smooth, predictable start-up combined with strong maximum drag, helping you protect light lines while still having the braking power to stop big fish near snags or structure.
The Twin Power FE range covers a broad spectrum of predator and lure fishing techniques. Smaller sizes like C2000 and 2500 are ideal for light and medium spinning, fishing small crankbaits, spoons or soft baits for perch, trout and smaller predators. The 2500S HG version brings extra speed for techniques that need a fast pick-up, such as working soft baits in current or covering water quickly with reaction lures.
The 3000 and compact C3000 models add a little more line capacity and power, making them well suited to stronger lines and slightly heavier lures. They are a versatile choice for zander, pike-perch and all-round predator fishing where a balance of casting distance, control and stopping power is required.
Anglers targeting bigger predators or heavier tactics can look towards the 4000 and 5000 sizes. Standard and HG (high gear) configurations offer powerful retrieves for large crankbaits, big soft baits or fishing in deep water, while PG (power gear) versions deliver slower, torque-focused winding for maximum control when working resistance-heavy presentations or when fighting large fish close to cover.
Every reel in the series benefits from the Long Stroke AR-C spool concept, which helps the line peel off in tighter, more efficient coils for longer, more accurate casts. Combined with the Anti-Twist Fin that improves line management between the line roller and the spool, the Twin Power FE keeps your line running smoothly, reducing tangles and helping you get the best performance out of light braids and modern fluorocarbon or monofilament lines.
For anglers who will not compromise on their tackle, the Shimano Twin Power FE brings together strength, smoothness and confidence-inspiring control in a compact, refined package that is ready for serious lure fishing in demanding conditions.
