Shimano Twinpower advice?
Submitted by snapper_seeker on Sat, 2014-08-02 21:11
Hi guys, I'm after some advice on the twinpowers, I'm looking at ordering one in from japan, either the 6000 or 8000pg model. I will be using it to flick live baits and lures around the metro area for mackies in Summer and want something a bit different. Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with them or any safe websites that you trust to order one in from. A big thanks to anyone who gives me some info!

Any reason why it has to be a twinpower? Wouldn't a sustain or biomaster bought locally do the same job with the added bonus of store warranty?

They don't make a 6000sw in the biomaster and I don't really like sustains as a few of my mates have had them break on them when it counts!

ill tell you what not to buy
ill tell you what not to buy dont buy a biomaster sw-a lol prob the worst reel ive bought in 15 years bought it for shore jigging due to its weight my fault unsighted unseen online what a mistake an alleged sw reel ? that flexes an turns sideways in the reel seat under only 5kg drag is a joke before it i was using an emcast sport on my kg evolution which flexes less an its as plastic as it gets better drag too .. how shimano came up with the price point on that pos is beyond me for one extra bearing under the spool over the solid near bullet proof saragosa sw which sits on it now. such disgust i had for the reel i put it up on gumtree an go rid of it cheap couldnt bring myself to post it up here or some of the facebook groups its THAT bad.
anyway to answer your question for gear from jp i shop at plat jp an http://global.rakuten.com
twinpower is great but for $200 more u can get a new in box 08 stella sw from ajpan with carbon handle an knob

Just made an order from plat, they're legit. I've used most of the big ones throughout Asia/japan, never had a problem. I always use PayPal.
