Great comparison of Shimano spinning reels. I have the 4000 SW as well as the 10000 SW (‘19) models. I love both of them and the drag systems got my attention. I’ve used the 4000 fishing lakes (bass and Northern Pike), offshore for Calico bass and surf fishing (local surf fish). A great reel to have to handle all types of species. I mainly use the 10k model for offshore. It has a lot of drag potential in comparison to conventional reels. 👍🔥 great video. 🐠

You, my friend, sound like you are as Much of a Fishing Fanatic and enthusiasts as I am!!! I would LOVE to get to fish with you one day! Lol.

I go on excursions for 4-5 days 3 or more hrs away from where I'm at in Sanford Florida, and locally at Titusville or New Smyrna or such on other good days.. and pour weights, work on my gear, etc.. on days that are not very fishable... as well as Cook up my fish for Dinners on my days at home.. lol

I have both stella 6000hgc n tp 8000 hgc , tp just as good as stella , casting n durablity is so identical , n less parts , shouldn’t be as twice gosa price but it is noticebly better , alittle bit better in over all torque ,castibility n water protection , worm gear osc is just a winner any day vs locomotive one ,for those who pay high attention to their average longer distance casts. Btw nice review with this great reel , we r here blessed with GTs n tp is a true working horse .

[@brinkee7674]

Glad I got my Twin Power when I did. I got mine years ago from Japan and it has a completely different handle setup. Never had an issue with mine and it's been through hell and back. Is it sealed up like a Van Staal or ZeeBaas, No but it's the next best thing below a Stella, along with half the $ of those I mentioned. You call that over greasing? We would pack the body, this way if the is any sw intrusion there is little room for that water. My Twin Power didn't just get wet, it got dunked repeatedly.

[@unsalkarhan346]

Hi Ryan I need an expert opinion on a problem I'm having with my Twin Power 8000 PG. While checking the drag of the Twin Power SW-C 8000 pg I just bought, I realized that it was still a bit tight even when the drag was loosened to the end. Then I compared it with the 10000 pg I have. By the way, I know that the 10000 pg has a slightly different drag system. I loosened the drag of both of them to the end, checked the drag tension by turning the spool manually. 8000 pg was quite tight compared to 10000. I then measured the minimum drag values of both reels with a precision balance. 8000 PG’s spool stopped clicking at 900 grams. In other words, in the lightest drag (when the spool is close to coming off), a weight less than 900 grams cannot move (rotate) the spool. The minimum drag is 900 grams (approx. 2 lbs) In the 10000 PG, this value is 380 grams (approx. 0.85 lb). There is a difference of about half a kilogram. Is it normal that there is such a difference? Is it normal for the 8000 PG's loosest (lightest) drag to be so tight? So is this a situation specific to 8000 PG? I would be very grateful if you could share your opinions. Thanks in advance 😊

[@Unplugged704]

Great take down and review!! 👏👏 Wondering if 2024 TP FE is an improvement over this?

[@Yankees_1996]

A quick temp fix for noisy bearing while you wait to new bearing to replace that noisy bearing. Soak the bearing in WD-40 in a bottle cap, so the bearing sits under the level of the WD-40. It will break down the oxidation. Then you can fish while you wait for the new bearing. Continuing problem bearings, I replaced with ceramic.

[@user-nx8vp5sy5d]

Infinity drive, buy a lot of pinion gears, the shaft bushing wears quick on the Stella, remember that it’s very hard to buy replacement parts after the 10yr period. Most reels last a couple of years if you look after it, but infinity drive, Xlies parts do need replacement yearly. If you do your own maintenance then these items are irrelevant completely

[@jakeelson2458]

Would you be able to swap the saragosa part into the twin power? It's pretty poor design to have cheaper reels with better sealing when the twin power and stella are the top teir. The saragosa doesn't habe the drag to match the reel but yet the twin power has all the drag but less sealing.

[@gh0ztkid211]

Absolutely love the review! Can you do a similar tee video with the daiwa certate sw and the daiwa saltiga?!!! Interested to know what you think about the certate. I’ve got the certate 10k and 14k for tuna fishing and honestly so far absolutely love them. Have caught several yft and bft on them in the last year and a half but not enough and definitely not big enough fish to test it out to the full extent of what the reel can handle.

[@niallrampersad9124]

I'm deliberating between this SW model in a 4000xg model or the new TP FE for shore jigging(light) I'm honestly split between the two as I want that premium feel but i want it to last too, also the ease of getting parts and servicing. Which would you recommend?

@@eves08109 for bigger sizes definitely. I need a 6000 size reel. Went with certate sw and happy so far. its lighter, more line capacity, better drag, smoother, starts up quicker.

[@eves08109]

I was actually considering buying the Certate also and for smaller sizes that was a good choice. I was considering the biggest reel and since the Saltiga 20000H holds a generous amount of 80lb, plus with that drag I just have to get it!..I also have 5 BGs and love em!

[@aldraw]

Thanks for the thorough review. I'm debating upgrading from my Daiwa Saltist and Daiwa BGWQ to a Twin Power. I'm just getting tired of sending the Daiwas in every season because they get grindy. Mainly tuna fishing on a boat that tends to spray & splash. Need high drag, durability and a good seal, hopefully without breaking the bank.

The Twinpower is a definite upgrade from both of those reels. And service is easier with Shimano than with Daiwa USA.

Have not hooked up yet on SW10000PG but did get a keeper Snook and pulled a huge Moray (NPI, lol) eel out of a bridge fender with the 6k on a Shimano Trevala jigging rod.

Totally agree with the new twinpower. A simply amazing reel. No idea where you got your rating on your 2013 Stella from though. That was easily the worst Stella made to date.

2021 model has a C at the end meaning it's the third generation of Twinpower SW. The Twinpower SW 4000XGC has the body and gear of the 5000 and 6000 with a more compact 4000 spool. So the gear is bigger than the freshwater regular Twinpower 4000 or a Stradic 4000

@@aquaholiklee thanks for the info. So will a 5000 or 6000 spool will fit the 4000 body?

@@shimiavivi it will be oversized. The rotor is different on the 4000. The gear and main body is the same. Buy the 4000 if you need the same winding power but at a reduced weight. By the 6000 for more line capacity. The more compact rotor and maybe different handle on the 4000 is the reason for the weight saving.

[@maxschmidt9461]

About drag number flex: It's not! Honestly I still wish there were Reels with more drag for their size and even the 2020 Saltiga has given out on me cause I fished too much drag. It's when you target big fish, especially in freshwater and around structure where you need lots of drag but not a huge amount of line and even a 6k Shimano would be just fine if it had 40-50lb of drag that it can be realistically be fished at, but I have to use 8-14k Saltigas or the old Stellas and am still at risk of usin' too much drag, while the reel is already a bit much for the rod and the whole setup overkill for the lures that are fished. A 5-6k would be much better but I can only use them when I have room to play the fish and not too much current, or I'm able to follow the fish

[@Tyler-kw9ce]

Why not just fish an Accurate conventional reel? That's what I moved to once I realized a spinning reel wouldn't cut it. Twin drag washers and 40-50lb of usable drag as well as machined and assembled in the US.

[@maxschmidt9461]

@@Tyler-kw9ce they are an option, as well as the Aver Raptors, but they only have this drag in sizes comparable to a 20-30k spinner, and I need these small reels with heavy drag to cast lures, mostly 1-2oz and that all day long, a conventional without a worm guide just ain't suited for this, plus you need more weight to cast a two pound conventional properly.
