sanger Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Hey guys, As a few of you know i've been looking at getting a jigging setup for a fair while now, it hasn't been a priority up untill now as im still overseas, but now im making my way back home slowly and i noticed the other day that shimano have decided to list the Twinpower SW on their website. I had previously discounted them as they were only available from japan and i didn't want to pay that kind of money and not have any support if something went wrong but if they are coming to aus then they might be at the top of my list again!!!! So i guess what im trying to say is does anyone have any info on pricing, release dates and availability??? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Trying to go for the buy quality buy once kind of mentality but im not a millionare so stella is to far out of reach but at a stretch the twinpower might get the nod over a saragossa. Still tossing it up though hence the need for price and release dates etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_beginner Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 mate i absolutely love the twinpower reels every single one of them especially the japanes version of last years however for a jigging combo my suggestion would be a saragosa theyll do the job and thne bigger models are pulling 20kg of drag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing im worried about is if i would miss the extra line capacity with the 18000 saragosa and wether the cost when i eventually find it, is worth the extra money.

bass_beginner Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 yeh the twinpowers max drag is 22 but in practice when tested we tested it closer to 18 ive seen 14000 saragosa test at 21 ive also seen the sragosas stajnnd up to big hoodlums in enzed as well as pull some big gts up north mate tbh i love the twinpowers i have 4 of them and would trust them in any size but id save the $$$ and then pump it into a twinnie else where along the line or if your gonna spend the money on a twinpower look at a saltiga or a stella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bass_beginner Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 played with them love them and the thing is theyve been out iin japan for 2 or 3 years now and alot of the japanese jigging guys rave about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestora Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I got the Saragosa and she is a great jigging reel, I think only advantage on the more expensive Twinpower or the Stella is mainly weight. When you are jigging all day long those couple of hundred grams make a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
