Shimano 24 Twin Power C3000XG

Premium Power and High-Speed Performance in a Versatile Spinning Reel

The Shimano 24 Twin Power C3000XG is a premium spinning reel designed for anglers who demand a combination of refined smoothness, strong cranking power, and fast line recovery. Built with Shimano’s advanced Twin Power platform, it offers excellent rigidity and durability while maintaining the smooth operation expected from a high-end spinning reel.

Featuring a 6.4:1 Extra High Gear ratio and an impressive 94cm line retrieve per crank, the Twin Power C3000XG is ideal for techniques that require quick slack-line recovery, fast lure control, and efficient hooksets. Its C3000-size body provides an excellent balance between lightweight handling and additional power compared with smaller 2500-size reels.

At 215g, this reel is light enough for finesse applications while offering a 9kg maximum drag, making it highly versatile for bass, walleye, pike, trout, and other freshwater predators.

The reel is in mint condition, has been rarely used, and performs almost like new. It has also been upgraded with a metal handle knob, providing enhanced durability and a premium feel during retrieves.
