Shimano Twin Power XD FB C3000 HG Reel

Shimano Twin Power XD FB C3000 HG Reel. The Twin Power XD is the powerhouse of Shimano’s Magnumlite series, built to be the toughest, most durable reel in its class. Loaded with Shimano’s latest technology, it’s engineered for smooth, effortless casting and retrieval in the harshest inshore saltwater conditions. Equally suited for heavy-duty freshwater fishing, the Twin Power XD delivers the extra muscle you need to tackle powerful fish with confidence.

If you’re a dedicated saltwater lure angler or often work heavy lures in freshwater, the Twin Power XD is a reel that will not only match but elevate your game. It’s remarkably lightweight yet incredibly tough, designed to tackle the challenges that test your skills and fire up your imagination. This reel takes what you thought possible and pushes it to a whole new level. The blend of weight reduction, sensitivity, and raw power is nothing short of sublime. With the Twin Power XD, you’re in full control — fishing your lures with precision and subtlety, yet ready to lay down the power when a strike demands immediate action. Whether it’s pulling a fish away from a rocky obstacle or battling it out in rough conditions, this reel makes no compromises, and neither will you.

Equipped with Shimano's latest HAGANE technology—including HAGANE Gear, X-SHIP, Micro Module II, and Silent Drive—the Twin Power XD is further elevated by three exclusive ‘INFINITY’ technologies: INFINITYLOOP, INFINITYXROSS, and INFINITY DRIVE. This cutting-edge combination delivers an effortlessly smooth power you’ll notice the moment you turn the handle, with each gear meshing perfectly and when it’s time to apply fish-stopping pressure the exceptional Duracross Drag gives you unmatched confidence, especially during intense fights. And when it comes to reaching fish feeding at distance, you’ll appreciate how the advanced Long Stroke AR-C Spool and Anti-Twist Fin work together to boost casting distance, precision, and line management—keeping slack line in check for seamless retrieves. The addition of the very latest X-Protect, for internal protection from saltwater, further enhances the design inspiration and ensures your Twin Power XD will never let you down when you need it most.

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
The HAGANE Drive Gear is produced by Shimano’s coldforging technology, without the need for additional machining. This delivers a longlasting smoothness, strength, lightness and power at the very heart of the reel. Traditional diecast, machined gears are less durable under heavy loads.

Micro Module II
Improved Micro Module gearing, making the reeling extreme smooth.

XShip
XShip is a combination of features that work together to create much greater efficiency. By positioning the pinion gear close to the centre line of the large diameter drive gear, more power is transferred from the handle to the rotor. The pinion gear is also supported by two Shimano ARB roller bearings. This creates more stability.

Hagane Body
The HAGANE Body is produced from high rigidity aluminium or magnesium. This creates stiffness and impact resistance, while at the same time eliminating flexing of the body. The result is a rocksolid housing and support for the moving internal gearing and greater efficiency throughout the reel.

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.

INFINITYXROSS
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.

INFINITYDRIVE
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.

MGL Rotor
The new design of the Magnumlite Rotor produces unprecedented light rotation. The rotor profile, which was previously symmetrical, is now asymmetrical. The bail arm mechanism, which was previously situated on the same side as the line roller, has been moved to the opposite side. This improves balance and combined with a lightweight line roller, titan bail and optimum arrangement of rotor thickness, a 14% saving in rotation inertia has been achieved increasing sensitivity to previously unreached levels.

Silent Drive
Removed ‘clicking’ sound and ‘handle play’ and overall improved smooth reeling.

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 centre of gravity closer to the rod. This has been achieved by moving the worm shaft oscillation mechanism 19mm from the bottom of the reel to the top. By moving the centre of gravity closer to the anglers hand position, the G Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.

ARC Spool
Shimano ARC Spool is a patented spool design with an angled spool lip. This design enables the line to leave the spool with less friction and in smaller coils resulting in longer more accurate casts. ARC spools are proven to reduce backlash and wind knots when using braid.

CI4+ 
CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4. This highly technical material is 2.5 times stiffer than CI4 and is used on many highend Shimano reels to increase weight savings. Use of CI4+ for the body and rotor also delivers remarkable stiffness for better reel efficiency.

Long Stroke Spool
The long stroke spool has longer stroke compared to conventional spool designs. This longer stroke specification results in greater casting distance.

RIGID SUPPORT DRAG
By strengthening the spool support of the main shaft, the play and fluctuation of the spool during drag operation are reduced. The RIGID SUPPORT DRAG allows smooth and consistent drag delivery.

S ARB
Shimano S ARB bearings are high corrosion resistant ARB ball bearings with an extra shield for improved protection against sand, salt or dust.

One Piece Bail
The onepiece bail wire has no gap for line to snag on during normal operation. Made of Stainless Steel, it reduces friction and allows the line to get onto the line roller quicker.
