This is a NEW RELEASE scheduled for March 2025. Keep an eye on our socials for release dates closer to time!
The MGL Series takes technical fishing to the next level, showcasing the lightweight and responsive performance of its low-inertia rotors made from CI4+ carbon fiber reinforced resin. The TWINPOWER XD is built for strength, boasting rigid specifications designed to tackle tough conditions. Featuring the robust HAGANE BODY, it’s further enhanced with INFINITYXROSS and INFINITYDRIVE technologies, delivering exceptional gear durability and powerful winding capability.
The new DURACROSS drag washers offer superior abrasion resistance alongside smooth, reliable drag performance. INFINITYLOOP enhances casting feel, while NEW X PROTECT shields the line roller from debris, and the ANTITWISTFIN minimizes line troubles for seamless fishing in demanding environments.
With a lineup of six models, ranging from the versatile No.C3000—ideal for both freshwater and saltwater—to the No.C5000, perfect for light shore jigging, the MGL Series has you covered for all your fishing adventures.

MGL ROTORMGL ROTOR adopts asymmetrical rotor construction and seeks to improve operability and sensitivity, achieving a different dimension of rotational lightness. Furthermore, the line roller is made lighter, the bail is made of titanium, and the rotor wall thickness is optimally arranged to successfully reduce rotational inertia. |
X PROTECTIn addition to conventional water repellent treatment, a labyrinth structure that suppresses water penetration is combined to achieve high waterproof performance despite the non-contact. Adopts for stopper bearings section, line roller section, and others. |

ANTITWISTFINANTITWISTFIN reduce line slack and prevent line from falling off the bottom of the spool, and also reduce the phenomenon of line wrapping around the spool with twisting. |
HAGANE
HAGANE is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.
HAGANE GEAR
With amazing strength and durability, the HAGANE Gear is at the very heart of most Shimano reels. Shimano, through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives anglers the long-lasting smoothness and enjoyment that is felt when anglers first use a reel over and over again. No cutting work is applied to the teeth of the drive gear during fabrication; instead, the entire surface is calculated in minute detail by a special 3D design and then formed by Shimano's cold-forging technology. The result is assured resilience.
HAGANE Gear is the result of Shimano's endless pursuit for durability - this strength and power of forged metal continue to represent the fundamental concept of Shimano reels.
MICROMODULEII?
The MICROMODULE Gear II has evolved with Shimano's unique manufacturing technology and a state-of-the-art gear-tooth surface design. The drive and pinion gear surfaces have been analysed and updated from the ground up in Shimano's pursuit of perfection to further improve the smooth gear feeling and reduce sound.
X SHIP
X SHIP provides improved gear performance. Large diameter drive gear, optimally positioned pinion gear and drive gear, and two-point bearings supported pinion gear produce light reeling under load.
HAGANE BODY
The use of lightweight and rigid metals such as aluminium and magnesium firmly suppresses the deflection, distortion, and torsion of the reel. This protects delicate gear meshing and enables smooth reeling.
INFINITYLOOP
Super slow oscillating that goes beyond slow oscillating. The speed at which the spool moves up and down has been made overwhelmingly slow through the evolution of the internal structure. The line is wound around the spool one by one in an orderly and precise manner, and the line release resistance has been successfully reduced significantly. This has realized an exhilarating casting feel and smooth line feed
MGL ROTOR
The new design of the MAGNUMLITE ROTOR produces unprecedented light and sensitive rotation. The rotor profile - which was previously symmetrical - is now asymmetrical, and the bail arm mechanism - previously situated on the same side as the line roller — has been moved to the opposite side. Furthermore, the line roller has been lightened, the bail has been made of titanium, and the rotor wall thickness has been optimally arranged to successfully reduce rotational inertia.
ANTI-TWIST FIN
ANTI-TWIST FIN ensures trouble-free line management. A flexible polymer fin is installed near the line roller to maintain line tension and prevent line from wrapping around the spool in an uneven manner. Also featured in the STELLA FK. The Twin Power features a redesigned spool edge and drag knob that minimises the possibility of the line becoming snagged. Utilising technology with a proven track record in Stella SW, a proprietary barrier coat is applied for strong abrasion resistance.
X PROTECT
For medium and small general-purpose spinning reels, which require lighter spinning, we focused on a non-contact structure that does not compromise the lightness of the spinning.
In addition to conventional water-repellent treatment, a labyrinth structure that suppresses water penetration is combined to achieve high water-resistant performance despite the non-contact nature of the structure. It is used in the stopper bearing section and line roller section.
G FREE BODY
G FREE BODY technology has been developed to shift the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the center of gravity closer to the angler's hand, the G FREE BODY helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.
AR-C SPOOL
Shimano AR-C Spool features a special spool ring shape. This design effectively minimises the possibility of issues when the line exits the spool, resulting in trouble-free line management and exceptional casting performance.
LONG STROKE SPOOL
The LONG STROKE SPOOL has a longer stroke compared to conventional spool designs. It contributes to improved casting feel and distance.
