Shimano Twinpower C5000XD XG Blackout Topwater Spin Combo 7ft 11in 40-70g 2pc

Take on the topwater Kingfish

Jigging is an effective way to target Kingfish but for sheer fun and the adrenaline rush, nothing beats topwater Kingfish! That’s why you’re going to appreciate the Shimano Twinpower C5000XD XG Blackout Topwater Spin Combo.

The Reel
In Shimano’s pursuit of the ultimate in durability and performance, the Shimano Twinpower C5000XD XG Spinning Reel has been born and set a new benchmark for saltwater spinning reels.

Hagane Gear
The battle tested cold forged Hagane Gear has received a significant upgrade through advancements in Shimano’s high precision technology, resulting in a strength rating that is comparable to one size larger in the previous model.

X-Ship
Additionally, XShip provides vital pinion and drive gear support, ensuring optimum arrangement for ultra-light smooth reeling. To further protect the engagement of the XD’s internals, the Hagane Body acts as a rigid aluminum armor that firmly suppresses any distortion and twisting when under load. }

X-Protect
To oppose unwanted saltwater intrusion, X Protect provides the Twin Power XD with Shimano’s highest degree of protection. Developed specially for the XD series, X Protect leverages a waterproof labyrinth structure on top of the anti-reverse bearing which blocks any internal saltwater entry into the body. This is also combined with a new water repellent treatment that is applied to the body, line rollers and roller clutch, making the reel ideal for saltwater applications.

Magnum Light Rotor
The new Magnum Light Rotor enables effortless winding through a 14% reduction in rotational resistance and a 30% improvement in rigidity. G Free body shifts the reel’s center of gravity closer to the reel seat, perfecting the reel’s balance and feel when in your hand.

S-ARB
9 SA-RB bearings and 1 roller bearing are designed for this reel. These bearings have been through the same process as A-RB bearings, but feature shields on both sides of the bearings, reducing the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearings’ rotation.

11kg Drag
A carbon cloth drag stack creates 11kg of drag pressure and a large diameter drag knob gives you the ability to easily adjust your drag during the fight. Finished with a metallic blue base with silver and gold highlights, the Shimano Twinpower C5000XD XG Spinning Reel stays true to its premium pedigree!

The Rod
Providing the perfect balance between power and finesse, the new Shimano Blackout Spinning Rod features T45 blank technology to create a strong, powerful and crisp action with superb sensitivity in a sleek black design. Coupled with WINN grips to provide the ultimate comfort. This rod will not only help you land the fish you’re after, but it will allow you to do it in style.

WINN Grips
Unlike traditional cork or EVA grips, the new WINN grips are made from high quality polymer formulated to provide firmness, texture, sensitivity and comfort even when wet.
