The 2024 Shimano Twin Power, Solid to the Core



Introduction: For as much as I enjoy and rely upon my Shimano casting reels, for some reason, when it comes to spinning reels, that enthusiasm is not at the same level. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy my Stella and Vanquish reels, but beyond those two models, the enthusiasm cools. Over the last season there has been one spinning reel that our Editor-in-Chief, Zander, has been raving about since he fished it earlier this season at Lake Champlain and a field day on the smallmouth. He liked the reel so much he has since purchased two of them. Given his enthusiasm for this latest entry into the Shimano CoreSolid lineup I felt it was about time to see what this refreshed Twin Power reel was all about.

I was surprised by one thing, you called that reel mid-tier. Is it really one? I thought it still a high-end reel, just not the very best.

JDM price point is ~$330

JDM price point for the Exist is ~$630

You can almost get two TwinPowers for the price of the Exist... that's middle to me

Thanks Cal for the answer! I get your logic now and it is fair.

Is there no longer a metal ring on the spool lip or straight up aluminum?
