Shimano Twin Power FE C3000 Reel

Shimano Twin Power FE C3000 Reel. For over 30 years Twin Power has built on a legacy of dependability and unquestionable power, and the latest Twin Power is no different. With extensive use of ultra light, super rigid aluminium in the body and rotor, plus Shimano’s very latest and most advanced gearing technology, this is a reel that can be totally trusted in the toughest situations.

If you are the type of angler who doesn’t compromise on your tackle, you are going to find the Twin Power the perfect choice. The ultra lightweight feel belies the undoubted strength and rigidity of the Twin Power, making it perfect for fishing with high resistance lures that require the most efficient winding power to work at maximum performance. Whilst other reels sometimes sacrifice weight for strength, or vice versa, the Twin Power offers you the best of both worlds in one stunning package. Select from a wide range of sizes, from the small but perfectly formed 2000, to a powerful 5000, including weight saving compact body versions. High and extra high gear options are available if you prefer your reels to have speed to burn.

Featuring the latest HAGANE technology, including HAGANE Gear, X-SHIP, Micro Module II and Silent Drive components, the Twin Power also benefits from Shimano’s three exclusive ‘INFINITY’ technologies (INFINITYLOOP, INFINITYXROSS, INFINITY DRIVE). In use you can’t fail to notice the powerfully smooth feeling as the gears mesh perfectly together. And when playing fish, the peerless Duracross Drag installs confidence rarely experienced, especially in critical situations. If you fish crankbaits, or softbaits at range, you’ll certainly benefit from the addition of the advanced Long Stoke AR-C Spool combination, which is proven to increase casting distance and accuracy and the faultless line management of Anti-Twist Fin that prevents slack line between the line roller and spool when stopping and starting a retrieve.

Hagane
HAGANE is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.

Hagane Gear
With amazing strength and durability, the HAGANE Gear is at the very heart of the reel. Shimano, through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives you the long-lasting smoothness and pleasure that you feel when you first use a reel, over and over again. No cutting work is applied to the teeth of the drive gear. Instead the entire surface is calculated in minute detail by special 3D design and then formed by Shimano's cold forging technology. The result is assured resilience. It's the fruit of Shimano's inexhaustible pursuit for durability; the strength and power of forged metal continues to represent the fundamental concept of Shimano reels.

Micromodule Gear II
State-of-the-art, gear tooth surface design and MicroModule Gear II, are further advanced through Shimano's exclusive manufacturing technology. The surfaces of the drive gear and pinion gear have been analyzed and updated from the ground up in pursuit of perfection.

X-Ship
X-Ship provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This means the gears will stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit is that friction between the spool shaft and gear are eliminated. This will enhance the casting performance of the reel with lighter lures, and allow for longer casts.

Hagane Body
The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power. It's efficiency through strength.

Infinity Loop
Super slow oscillating that goes beyond slow oscillating. The speed at which the spool moves up and down has been made overwhelmingly slow through the evolution of the internal structure. The line is wound around the spool one by one in an orderly and precise manner, and the line release resistance has been successfully reduced significantly. This has realized an exhilarating casting feel and smooth line feed.

Infinity Xross
INFINITYXROSS provides superior gear durability through industry-leading design and cutting-edge manufacturing technology. Advancements in the gear tooth design improve the surface contact and meshing between the drive gear and pinion gear. This revolutionary design efficiently distributes the load placed on the gear tooth surface across a wider area to prevent damage from stress points while significantly improving overall gear durability.

Infinity Drive
INFINITYDRIVE technology is an advanced structure that produces lower friction and lighter winding. Pinion gear is supported by the spool shaft instead of the pinion gear bearing on the spool side. Rotational resistance of the gear section has been reduced without compromising gear strength,

Duracross
DURACROSS provides smooth, reliable drag performance and incredible durability. The material is reinforced by weaving in new fibers in a manner orthogonal to the direction of the fibers that make up conventional drag washers. We have succeeded in increasing abrasion resistance more than 10 times while maintaining smooth drag performance.

Silent Drive
From the fundamental, whole body design to the most intricate parts of the drive train, including the drive gear, wormshaft, wormshaft pin and wormshaft gear, every piece has been carefully reviewed, and the smallest clearance gaps and wobbles have been eliminated to the highest tolerances.

Anti Twist Fin
Elastic fins are installed in close proximity to the line roller section. By suppressing line slack, the fins reduce the phenomenon of line dropping out of the lower part of the spool and line wrapping around the spool while the line is still twisted.

X Protect
For medium and small general-purpose spinning reels, which require lighter spinning, we focused on a non-contact structure that does not compromise the lightness of the spinning. In addition to conventional water-repellent treatment, a labyrinth structure that suppresses water penetration is combined to achieve high water-resistant performance despite the non-contact nature of the structure. It is used in the stopper bearing section and line roller section.

G-Free Body
G-Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the center of gravity closer to the anglers hand position, the G-Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.

AR-C Spool
The spool has a special spool ring shape. This creates a rectifying effect on the line and realizes both suppression of line trouble and long casting performance.

Long Stroke Spool
The LONG STROKE SPOOL has a longer stroke compared to conventional spool designs. It contributes to improved casting feel and distance.

CI4+
CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4. This highly technical material is 2.5 times stiffer than CI4 and is used to increase weight savings.

Rigid Support Drag
By strengthening the spool support of the main shaft, the play and fluctuation of the spool during drag operation are suppressed, allowing smooth drag delivery even under high load.

S A-RB
These bearings have been through the same process as our A-RB bearings, but feature shields on both sides of the bearings that reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearing's rotation.

One-Piece Bail
One-Piece Bail allows the line to travel unimpeded to the line roller. Its seamless design reduces friction and the change of tangles or cuts to the bail arm
