The SW technology which was previously exclusive to the flagship Stella adorns the Twin Power family. With sizes from 4000 through to a powerhouse 10000 size, these are seriously tough reels, appealing to saltwater anglers seeking all sizes of fish including big game blue water species. Freshwater spinning experts will also appreciate such top-end quality. Bristling with advanced features including AR-C spool, SR one-piece bail arm and Waterproof Rigid Support Drag. Gear ratios range from 4.9:1 on the 8000PG model, to a pacy yet perfectly measured 6.2:1 on the 5000. Powered by S A-RB bearings, these are true thoroughbreds.

  • Pinion Gear: Super hard brass
  • Stainless steel bail

Reel handle has play in it and I just opened the box for the first time
December 23, 2020
I just bought a twin power sw 5000 when I opened it and went to spin it I noticed the reel handle already had a little play in it for a $500 reel that shouldn’t be like that kinda disappointed
Pros
  • Super Smooth
Cons
  • Play in handle

I bought a 14k & I really like it, smooth with a powerful drag. I'd highly recommend this reel, a lot of the same features as a Stella but $400 less.
Pros
  • Smooth
  • Power Drag

Awesome Tuna Jig Reel.
August 30, 2019
lower gear ratio than the 14k with almost the same size spool. I spooled it with 65 braid and put this reel on the shimano game type J 605s and had the perfect setup for inshore tuna. Took fish to 68” on the jig with no problem.
Pros
  • Great reel.
Cons
  • None

Really? 4000XG comes with felt drag washers...

Really? 4000XG comes with felt drag washers...

Everything is fine except the handle and drag washers.
1. 4000XG handle is 60mm long with EVA knob vs. 5000XG handle is 65mm long with CI4+ knob
so, I upgraded 4000XG handle to 5000XG handle.
2. 4000XG has the felt drag washers so I upgraded to the Carbontex drag washers.
3. I added O-ring to Handle Screw Cap

Pros
  • feels strong
  • I think Twin Power SW is better than Twin Power XD

Currently using this reel in 3000, 4000, and 8000 sizes. Almost everything feels nice out of the box, but does it last? These reels are used hard, and have continued to preform at the highest level. My absolute favorite for everyday fishing. From speckled trout to tarpon its my favorite.
Pros
  • excellent drag
  • great handle
  • durable

I came here under the fish gear guide for dorado
September 25, 2018
I have seen these in person before at a local shop and was impressed with the smoothness of the retrieve, but i didn't think it would be used for mahi or even bigger fish (the guy who worked there was not very fishing knowledgeable), and couldn't even tell me the line capacity or drag. I usually don't like spinning reel setups and prefer using my Penn international 975 baitcaster reel setup when i fish for mahi. This reel does look like a monster though with 62 lbs of drag.....are you kidding me. You could probably tow a small car with that.
Pros
  • beautiful spinning reel. Smooth. 62 Lbs or drag.....What
Cons
  • $619 is expensive
