Shimano’s Beastmaster MD 12000 Electric reel stands as the pinnacle of fishing technology, boasting powerful winding with multi-point hooking capabilities in deep waters. Designed to capture large fish like yellowfin tuna and Swordfish with unparalleled speed, this reel is not only unbreakable but also Shimano’s strongest and largest in history. At its core is the Monster Drive (MD) system featuring the newly developed GIGA-MAX Motor, achieving 2.5 times the motor torque and a hoisting endurance of 38kg. The reinforced gear system, embodying Shimano’s technological expertise, combines overwhelming speed and power. With a drag force of 43kg, it stands as the strongest in Shimano’s history, capable of reeling in super-large fish. The Hagane body, a rigid metal housing, ensures durability, while the heat dissipation system and Kenkenmaru screen enhance its suitability for long fights and provide real-time underwater information. The Shimano Beastmaster MD 12000 redefines big game and deep sea fishing, marking a new era with unprecedented power and speed.
Features:
- Hagane Body - The Hagane Body is produced from high rigidity aluminium or magnesium. This creates stiffness and impact resistance, while at the same time eliminating flexing of the body. The result is a rock-solid housing and support for the moving internal gearing and greater efficiency throughout the reel.
- Giga-Max - This is the industry's first brushless motor. A high-speed, high-torque motor that employs a powerful special rare-earth magnet. The brushless motor means a much longer lasting motor.
- Cross Carbon Drag - The Cross Carbon Drag provides the smooth drag release and durability.
- Thermo Adjust Drag Control - A control function that suppresses abnormal heat generation in the drag to maintain stable drag performance. If the drag slips while the motor of the electric reel is on, the gear will idle, causing abnormal heat generation in the drag section. In order to suppress this heat generation, the motor speed is automatically reduced when the drag is slipping.
- S A-RB - Shimano S A-RB bearings are high corrosion resistant ARB ball bearings with an extra shield for improved protection against sand, salt or dust.
- Electronic Exciting Drag - This audible and highly exciting electronic sound that the reel makes when the mode is selected.
- Colour LCD Screen - LCD screen for easy use and operation.
Line - Dog Tooth Fluidcast X8 8 Carrier 80lb Braid
This line is ideal for deep dropping due to the 8 strand braid paired with the teflon coating, which combine to provide a round, thin and super smooth braid. Not only does the Teflon coating provide extra smoothness to the line, it also has water repellent properties so that the line doesn't soak up too much water and become heavy and lose strength over time.
When deep dropping you need a smooth braid to minimise friction and heat generation in the line due to the heavy weights and fish being hauled up, which is exactly what the Dog Tooth Fluidcast X8 achieves.
