Rarenium vs Twin Power decision
Rarenium vs Twin Power decision
So i'm looking into a spinning setup for weightless plastics. Mostly 3, 4 and 5" senkos. Will likely be going with a Dobyns 703SF unless there's anything better under $300. I was originally looking at a 2500 Stradic FJ but i'd like to get the weight down a little more.
I'm having trouble deciding between a Rarenium Ci4+ C3000HG and the new Twin Power C3000HG that just came out this month. The Rarenium is 2 oz lighter, cheaper and will cosmetically be easier to match to a rod. For some reason though there's something about the Twin Power that keeps drawing me back in. Any insight?

Re: Rarenium vs Twin Power decision
The Rarenium and Twin Power are both JDM reels so my guess is that they had a very attractive name in Japanese that just got directly into English. I mean what exactly does Stradic mean anyways? Maybe a Shimano rep can give you more insight.

I would get the batemastur...or is the other way around
Seriously though I want a Twin Power. Monday Monkey recommended that reel to me, and I trust his judgement on import tackle.

They are sold in EU as well, though Twin Power has only saltwater version here at the moment.hawkoath wrote:The Rarenium and Twin Power are both JDM reels so my guess is that they had a very attractive name in Japanese that just got directly into English.

I hope you're right. I'd hate to think someone thought those names up on purpose!hawkoath wrote:The Rarenium and Twin Power are both JDM reels so my guess is that they had a very attractive name in Japanese that just got directly into English.

Bump. I'm faced with the same decision. Rarenium 3000HG vs Twin Power 3000XG. Has anyone had a chance to handle these reels yet?
