The Shimano 2025 TwinPower XD FB – Built to Conquer Inshore Fishing
Shimano North America Fishing is out to set a new standard in inshore spinning reel performance with the new 2025 TwinPower XD FB. This reel is the toughest and most advanced offering from Shimano in the MagnumLite series of spinning reels. The TwinPower XD FB has been designed with the inshore angler in mind, putting incredible durability and refined sensitivity that will last season after season in the harshest saltwater conditions.
“The TwinPower XD FB is engineered for dedicated inshore anglers targeting species like redfish, snook, and striped bass in any condition,” said Blaine Anderson, Shimano Saltwater Marketing Manager. “This reel delivers the toughness needed to thrive in saltwater while maintaining the precision and control required for technical presentations.”
The core of the TwinPower XD FB is Shimano’s lightweight MGL Rotor, made from CI4+ carbon-reinforced resin. Making for a light and sensitive rotation of the rotor for increased control of the lure retrieve. Past the MGL Rotor, Hagane gearing matched with the Infinity Drive and InfinityXross technology gives the reel tons of gear durability to last. Shimano’s new Duracross Drag technology delivers smooth, consistent drag performance with extended longevity in the long stroke spool. It also has Infinity Loop tech to optimize the line lay on the spool. Finally, the X-Protect system protects the reel to enhance durability by repelling water while minimizing reeling noise.
The new 2025 Shimano TwinPower XD FB is available in three sizes, 3000, 4000, and 5000, and has an MSRP of $470 to $500, depending on the reel model. These should be available for purchase later this year through any Shimano dealer.
