Shimano TwinPower SW C Spinning Reel

The Shimano TwinPower SW C Spinning Reel is a heavy-duty performer with overwhelming drag power to put a stop to your next prized gamefish. It features several key technologies brought over from Shimano’s flagship reel, the Stella SW C, boosting its capabilities to the highest levels. One key technology brought over was Infinity Drive, which works to optimize winding torque by 26%, with the ultimate goal of giving anglers more cranking power under load. This is ideal for getting fish out of deepwater structure or simply getting more line back on the reel after a powerful run. The framework of this reel is made up of a Hagane aluminum construction, achieving great rigidity to mitigate frame flex. With its mitigation, the reel functions more efficiently with every handle turn, with flawless operation of its internal gearing for best longevity.
