The BEASTMASTER MD 12000 is Shimano's most powerful and largest electric reel ever, created to deliver the overwhelming power and speed needed to catch big fish in deep water. Giga-max motor, with 2.5 times (*1) the motor torque and 38kg of practical winding endurance. The drive power that combines overwhelming speed and power is supported by a reinforced gear system that incorporates Shimano's superior durability and attention to detail. The drag force, which is the decisive factor in a fight with an ultra-large fish, reaches an astonishing 43kg, making it Shimano's most powerful ever for reeling in huge fish with unparalleled power.
The Hagane body, a highly rigid metal body, houses this astonishing power. The body is protected from heat generated by the drag section by means of a heat dissipation system, enabling the angler to fight for long periods of time. The 80/92mm long handle makes it easy to reel in the fish when fishing near the boat's edge.
The strongest and largest ever Shimano power reel. The BEASTMASTER MD 12000, a "true beast" boasting power and speed never before experienced, marks a new chapter in big game and deep sea fishing.
