Description

Shimano's ツインパワー (Twin Power), the core model of the Core Solid spinning-reel series, built around a 37-year "quality and resilience" concept. It is one of only two Core Solid reels — alongside the flagship Stella — to use a metal rotor, paired here with a HAGANE body reinforced with aluminum at the high-load foot for extra rigidity. The current generation adds Stella-derived Infinity Cross (gear durability), Infinity Drive (retrieve power), Infinity Loop (smooth, resistance-free casting), a Duracross drag washer, and an Anti-Twist Fin.

The C2000SHG variant carries a 1000-size body with an 81cm-per-handle-turn high-speed retrieve for quick line-slack pickup, making it well suited to working a lure in current or following up fast on long casts. It holds nylon 4lb-100m and covers a wide range of fishing up to light saltwater.

What makes it different

Built to fish, not just to sell

The drivetrain

A metal rotor and a HAGANE body reinforced with aluminium at the high-load foot give Twinpower extra rigidity, and Stella-derived Infinity Cross, Infinity Drive and Infinity Loop combine for a smooth, resistance-free retrieve and cast.

What it's built for

Covers a wide range of fishing up to light saltwater, with the C2000SHG's 1000-size body suited to working a lure in current or following up fast on a long cast.

How it fishes

An 81cm-per-handle-turn high-speed retrieve gives quick line-slack pickup, useful for keeping contact with a lure in current or catching up to a fish that turns and runs toward the rod.

Spools and spares

Pairs with a light-to-medium spinning rod, 4-8lb fluorocarbon or PE0.6-1 with a fluorocarbon leader.

Straight answers

FAQ

Is the JDM version different from the US or AU release?

Often, yes. JDM releases can differ in spool depth, weight and handle options, and the Japanese lineup is usually broader — including sizes and models never exported.

Will spare spools from my current reel fit?

Spool compatibility is per generation, not per model name. Check the model year and size code against the spool before buying — the model code is listed on every reel.

What size should I choose?

As a ladder: 1000–2500 for finesse and light lines, 2500–4000 for general lure work, 4000 and up for heavy or salt duties. Match the size to your line and water first.

PG, HG or XG — what's the difference?

PG is a slow, powerful gear for cranking. HG is the all-round high gear. XG is the fastest retrieve for picking up slack quickly — higher speed trades away winding torque.

What warranty or service do imported reels have?

There is no local service centre for a JDM reel. Repairs and servicing go back to Japan, usually with a fee and a multi-week turnaround — weigh that before you buy.

Can I still get spares for older JDM-only models?

Often, yes — Japanese makers keep parts lists for older models, and some spares are stocked here. See the spares and custom parts collection, or ask before you order.
