Is there a US version of the Twin Power 4000MHG?
No. Shimano North America's TWINPOWER FE table lists TP2500FE, TPC3000XGFE, TP4000XGFE and TPC5000XGFE, and none has the size code 4000MHG (checked 2026-10-05). The nearest listed US size is TP4000XGFE; the official values differ in gear ratio (5.7:1 in Japan, 6.2:1 in the US) and retrieve per crank (93 cm (≈ 36.6 in) in Japan, 40 in in the US).
| Item | JDM 4000MHG | US TP4000XGFE | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gear ratio | 5.7:1 | 6.2:1 | Differs |
| Weight | 260 g (≈ 9.2 oz) | 9.2 oz | Matches after our conversion |
| Max drag | 11 kg (≈ 24.3 lb) | 24 lb | Matches after our conversion |
| Retrieve per crank | 93 cm (≈ 36.6 in) | 40 in | Differs |
US values are Shimano North America official figures; ≈ values are our unit conversions of the Japanese figures. Gaps within rounding (0.15 oz, 1 lb, 0.6 in) count as a match.
Is the JDM Twin Power 4000MHG cheaper than the US TP4000XGFE?
It depends on the exchange rate, so we cannot give a yes or no. The official figures are ¥55,000 in Japan (before consumption tax) and $504.99 in the US (US MSRP). We do not convert currencies. Dividing one by the other, the Japanese list price is the lower number when one US dollar buys more than ¥108.9. TP4000XGFE is not the same size code as the Japanese 4000MHG, so this is not a like-for-like price.
The Japanese figure excludes Japan's consumption tax (the page says so); the US page shows its price without mentioning tax. Shipping, import duties and shop prices are not included.

Twin Power 4000MHG vs Stella, Stradic, Vanford and Vanquish 4000MHG
Reels from other series whose size code carries the number 4000, closest in weight first.
