The Shimano Twin Power SW C is a saltwater spinning reel for casting poppers and stickbaits and for jigging from the boat. It has a rigid HAGANE body and gears, Infinity Drive for easier winding under load, and 13 to 25 kg of max drag depending on size.
It is for UAE anglers chasing queenfish, trevally, kingfish and tuna from boats and rocky shores, who want near-flagship toughness at a lower price. The 5000XG and 6000XG suit light popping and casting; the 8000HG is for heavier popping and jigging.
