I imported a Shimano Vanquish in late 2023 and it has the same spooling as this Twin Power and the Stella. Seriously great reels! I won't own anything but a Shimano.
@@ULFISHGETTER I don't buy cheap reels or rods for that matter. The high end Daiwa reels are good but the Vanquish, Twin Power, and Stella are on a whole different level. That reel you mentioned is on the same level as the Shimano NASCI and while decent for the price, it's definitely NOT comparable to the high end Shimano reels.
I important my reels now as well. I never buy a reel in states anymore. I've got the vanquish 3000 amazing reel!!! Also got the this twin power and the Stella as well. Shimanos game on whole different level then the other manufacturers
I’d choose the 24 TP over the Sella FK based on the features and price. Sure the 24 TP is not a Stella FK. I wouldn’t knock anyone that bought a reel that they are happy with. I’m older now. I don’t like to have the top of the line in anything. It comes with an inflated price at the end that doesn’t instill happiness in me. As I get older I tend to also lean towards lighter gear like a 23 Vanquish. I’ll be looking at the 24 TP when I go to the Tackle shop tomorrow. 😊 Great video!
Thanks for another great reel overview. The look and the specifications is very like the Vanquish that I have from overseas. I’ve been using the Vanquish 5K for slinging artificial baits for snook…due to the light weight and smoothness it’s been a great reel. I would assume this new Twin Power will be the same.
@@hookedup1 I have both they are both Great. I feel the vanquish is more of a lightweight Stella. I use my vanquish for open water fishing or very light structure. Snook wise absolutely love the twin power so much more Due to the it being a core solid reel vs the ci4+
i have the Stella 4K FK, curious to why Shimano would design an exact model... i do believe, the insides are designed a bit different. you can tell with the drag and the bail flip, when shimano starts to incorporate the Stella's design to the lower end reels, it means the Stella's are getting a redesign. great review of the reel though
Yes, not exactly like the FK. On top of my head the FK has (obviously) more bearings, special surface/coating treatment on the drive gear and a titanium one piece bail. If that doesn't bother you then the Twin power is more than enough..
oh high end daiwa reels like the EXIST if later on the gears feels bit off due to use over time they wont sell you the gears and some other parts so you need to send it to them to get it fixed.. shimano sells most the parts to you so you can do it yourself.. i was looking around doing some digging before i buy a new high end reel and noticed that . kind sucks cant get some parts and have to send it back as im a DIY person then many years later they will not support the reel anymore and you'll need to buy a new one
I have the stradics and every reel up to the stella love them all. One thing ill let you know about the vanford is the known flex issues are more from the size 2500 up to the 5000. The 500 , 1000 and 2000 have no issues because they are smaller and more compact. Thus i kept my 500 and 2x 2000s and sold my 2500 and 3000 vanfords. Now I have 2x twin power 3000 fes and 2x stella 3000 fks and love both of them. But theres definitely more differences then just the bearings between the two. The information is on Shimanos website i just dont want to write a novel. Lol But im like your first bud i can tell the difference between the 2 if i was blind folded. They are both smooth but stella is a more refined smoothness both in reeling and drag. ( Your 2nd bud you can tell you he's not a spinning reel guy without you even having to say anything 😂 his vote don't count ) I also dont buy Shimanos from the states anymore due to the greed and price increases the states put on their products instead I buy them directly from Japan. Yes they dont have warrantys but been using shimano for damn near 20 years+ i have only ever had 1 issue so im not worried about it The Twin Power Fe c3000XG is $303.62 The Stella FK c3000XG is $538.11 I bought one twin power and stella together and it was only $10 more then what one stella would cost here in the states. Plus free shipping and get it normally in 2.5 days from kobe , japan to front door. You cant even get that service here with the $50 " overnight " fees 😂 🤦🏽♂️ That being said for $300 id take the twin power all day every day. Another crazy thing is buying the twin from over seas is also cheaper then the sustain here and it's 2x the reel the sustain is. Food for thought for those looking at the sustain. ( Get the twin )
@@Salty_Sandro I personally don't do alot of surf fishing but I do know you want something that holds a good amount of line because of the style of fishing. I would probably at least get a 5000 size for surf. Inshore wise id go 2500 or 3000 size.
any reel can be used in fresh and salt, especially high end bass spinners. The twinpowers however were designed to be light heavy duty salt water game reels.
I prefer the Vanquish over the Stella and the TP; because i only fished freshwater fishery; it's has nothing to do with the price. Plus i prefer the color of the Vanquish over the Stella color paint job; atheistically i find the Stella kinda boring in opinion. Now they also make the TP almost the same color scheme as the Stella too; that even make the Stella less special 🤣
Many people has bad experience with overall quality of new Twin Power. Some experts claim that bearings are not good quality and then replace them, reel become smoother and more silent.
This happened with my certate LT daiwa replaced the bearings two years ago and it was like having a brand new reel. Ten times better than whatever bearings came with the reel
@tailwateroutfitters what's the feedback been on the smaller Stella's that came out last year? Do you think next year's stella sw just be a giant version of the stella 22? Great video btw
The Vanquish is consider the most lightest and high-end reel in the Shimano spinning reel line up. the Stella maybe the most high-end and the top of the top; but sadly the Stella bit heavy in physical weight
@@leepao6302 I love my vanquish I also own 3 twin power reels they are the smoothest reels I have ever used I had diawa reels they suck sold them off the ballistic was the worst of all
@@EK99_00 I have both. They both are practically the same reel. Theres a few small differences and one major one. The major one is that the vanquish is an over seas reel only and has no warranty in the states. If the reel needs to be fixed or repaired shimano themselves or Shimano authorized service centers won't touch them. That being said I have the 3000 and absolutely love it. One small difference Ive noticed between the two. The vanquish is more of a ci4+ built reel as the twin is a aluminum ( hagane ) built reel ( core solid ) so depending on where and what someone is fishing for that can make it a big decision on which to get. The twin is a perfect reel for structure fishing. Like docks or mangroves for snook and reds and the vanquish is a beautiful open water reel / finesse style reel. Other then that I love them both. Cant go wrong on either.
@tailwateroutfitters The same is with Stella, Stradic FM..I don't know, or is it about low quality control of the last production line of Shimano, or is it different quality for Europe.. Problem with quality overall exist, that's the fact.
The stella sw 2013-19 model 110% has major bearing issues. I've seen a guys stella seize up on the fish of a lifetime, lost the fish. Next day different guy on same trip rotor on his saragosa snapped clean in half fighting an 8lb fish!! I'll wait to see the new stella next year I'm willing to give them a chance at fixing their issues. I own a vanford 5000 and love it so I'm not anti shimano
@@kamadowoah4584yeah chances are those guys are not taking care of their reels. Most top notch anglers take good care of them. Then once a year send them in to have them fully broke down and re oiled and greased
Yes, i noticed that the new release of Shimano reels had low quality control. I own new stradic and the reels not smooth as before and the line management were very poor. The spool up and down very fast like they dont have the new technology.
@@Music4Ever80 unfortunately with any product due to the manufacturing process there's going to be a few that get by that are bad eggs. Unfortunately sounds like you have bad luck and have gotten those. I've been using Shimano 20+ years and only had one issue. Sent them the reel and they sent me a the updated model. Other then that they all have been solid , smooth and perfect reels. Again unfortunately the bad eggs do get through and that's a true fact. I've had more issues with St Croix rods and daiwa reels then anything else. Thus I stopped buying both and stopped complaining about both and its been the best decision I've made
Stop making another reel video until I buy one. I was locked in for Stradic FM, then locked in Saltist MQ, and now the Twin Power. Now what? Don't know what to buy which one anymore. 😂😂😂😂
@@justanotherday1st if you buy the twin power directly from Japan it's only $303 right now. Stella is only $554 just saying if that helps you make a decision
Why does everything have to be a "Stella killer"? Lmao, the Stella FK is 2 years older than this model. I have 2 Twin Power reels and call them the baby Stella. Everything from this reel is derived from the Stella FK. I guess in 2026 we will see the Stella FL and that will blow everything out the water again lol.
This isn't close to an exist copy. It's one of shimano's tuff spinning reels. While the exist is a finesse reel, the shimano exsence is their highest end finesse reel which is meant to compete with the exist. To be fair, for bass fishing the exist is better than the exsence, but it is worse for panfish
@@kyleanderson8670yeah I agree. The two reels don't look anything alike. The silver are two different shades. The design is completely different. I absolutely love both daiwa and Shimano but I'll reach for my Shimanos over my daiwas all day. They are little better sealed now then daiwa. Unfortunately daiwas mag seal is not what people think it is. As a wade angler I learned the hard way mag seal only protects from splashing not being sunk like daiwa makes it sound like it can be. I have sunk my stradic and Stella multiple times chasing snook around docks and rinse them off with freshwater and they still smooth as butter. Dropped my ballistic lt , back bay and certate and they all went bad. The mag seal needs a lot of work and I honestly think they need to go to a seal seal That being said daiwas customer service was awesome with all 3 of my reels. They saved my ballistic and back bay but they had to replace my certate for a small fee and got a brand new one.
@@kyleanderson8670 Don't talk wet!! The Shimano Exsense has nothing on the Daiwa Exist. Be more like a Stella for the comparison. By the way the Highest end Finesse reel for Shimano is the Vanquish as its the lightest series for Shimano for the reel sizing.

Is the 2024 TP FE a saltwater reel, or is the SW meant for saltwater?
any reel can be used in fresh and salt, especially high end bass spinners. The twinpowers however were designed to be light heavy duty salt water game reels.
tp fe vs new 24 certate plz
I am seriously in a loop and need help. I am wanting a surf reel mainly for striper blues and flounder, what reel do I get?
Van Staal
stella is stella. :) But.....Maybe I will buy this new one.
I wonder where they made?
Made in Japan
I am a great fan of TP. Paying only 60% of the stella price & you get 90% stella on a TP👍
There is NO way you can mix Stella with any other reel, the feeling is just different, I have tried all, I have two 22 Stella.
Have you messed with this new twin power?
Mantap
I would buy it over the Stella
Do you think suitable for jigging?
Stella metal body is aluminum not magnesium
Sold TP it is .
Certate is better. I have a 3k 24 twinpower and 4K 24 certate. The start up inertia on my 3K TP is awful compared to the certate or vanquish
May need to do a comparison between this and the certate 🤔
"Stella fk killer" legit has all technology from Stella :D
I'll pick a TP and a couple hundred more in my pockets over a single Stella and a empty wallet.
