Quick take
A 2020 Shimano Twin Power spinning reel with aluminum body and stainless steel components for saltwater fishing with solid drag and retrieves.
The 2020 Twin Power C3000MHG is a compact spinning reel from Shimano with an aluminum body and rotor, a high-gear design and a 2.2-inch handle. It weighs 7.5 ounces and brings in about 35 inches of line per handle turn, which suits anglers who work lures at a steady clip. A 1.9-inch spool holds 130 yards of 8 lb nylon, and nine bearings plus a roller keep the retrieve smooth.
