The driving force that combines overwhelming speed and power is received by a reinforced gear system that is highly durable and has Shimano’s technological capabilities that pay attention to detail. In addition, the drag force, which is the decisive factor in fighting with super-big fish, has achieved an amazing 43 kg, and it is the strongest in Shimano’s history, winding a huge fish with unparalleled power.

GIGA-MAX MOTOR installed only in the Beast Master series. The biggest feature is that the motor has a brushless structure that does not have brushes made of carbon or copper that are used as a part to pass the current, so there are no parts to wear and it has a long life. At the same time, it is also an excellent feature that it can demonstrate strong power even at high temperatures where performance tends to decline.

The Beastmaster MD12000 is equipped with the newly developed NEW GIGA-MAX MOTOR, which has been enlarged to achieve overwhelming power and speed. The motor torque has achieved an amazing 2.5 times compared to the 19 Beast Master 9000.
Recorded overwhelming speed and strength in winding power and speed tests. You can experience a new dimension of motor power from the moment you wind it up.
Maximum drag force of 43kg that does not compromise even with huge fish.

When you pull a huge fish off the reef, the reel drag is loaded with more than you can imagine. At this time, a drag with uncompromising strength is a condition of a reel that can be caught, along with a sense of security for anglers.
The drag system mounted on the Beast Master MD12000 achieves a maximum drag force of 43kg, which is 72% higher than the 19 Beast Master 9000.
In order to fully demonstrate the overwhelming hoisting power of the NEW GIGA-MAX MOTOR, it is inevitable to improve the drag force. You can challenge large fish with more power than ever before.
Shimano 23 Beast Master MD 12000 spec
Shimano 19 Beast Master 9000 spec
Compared to the Shimano 19 Beast Master, which boasted the strongest power in Shimano electric reels so far, the maximum drag force is 18kg, the endurance is 18kg, and the line capacity of the same strength is increased by 300m. As the title “Shimano’s strongest power ever”, it is an electric reel that boasts the maximum power.

A heat dissipation system that enables long fights with big fish.

For example, during a deep sea fight with a grouper weighing over 50kg or a tuna weighing over 50kg, the temperature of the side plate will rise if the drag is slipping for a long time.
And the phenomenon caused by the temperature rise of the electric reel is the deterioration of each performance. The Beast Master MD12000 uses aluminum for part of its side plates, improving heat dissipation by 60% compared to the 19 Beast Master 9000 and strengthening the body.
A reinforced gear system that delivers high power and durability.

No matter how good the motor is, no matter how strong the drag, it is meaningless if the gear that conveys it is weak. Shimano’s commitment resides in the details of the gear.
The Beast Master MD12000 is equipped with a reinforced gear system that has greatly strengthened the gear system, such as bearing support for the reduction gear, and achieved the durability of the threat. The synergistic effect of NEW GIGA MAX MOTOR, powerful drag, and heat dissipation system realizes unprecedented winding strength and speed, stability and high durability.
Information power that influences fishing that does not miss a few opportunities.

For example, when detecting rough terrain, when baitfish and large fish react. Also, when the activity of giant fish lurking in the deep sea increases.
It is no exaggeration to say that whether or not you can grasp the information of the fish finder in real time in order to accurately capture the few opportunities will affect your fishing.
The Tankenmaru screen installed in the Beastmaster MD12000 displays Tankenmaru information such as water depth, seabed shape, reactions of schools of fish such as accufish, and the trajectory of the tackle in color on the LCD screen of the reel. You can know “now” in the sea.
In a serious match where you can’t take your eyes off of it for a moment, you will be able to obtain underwater information without looking away from the rod tip, line, and hand, which will be a great advantage.

A powerful handle that does not compromise on important moments.

In deep-sea fishing, force is required even when manually winding a sinker weighing 2 kg or more that has arrived at the bottom, or when the current is fast. Cutting the bottom at the same time is a big chance for big fish to bite.
Beast Master MD 12000 adopts 80/92mm long handle to enable powerful manual winding. What is worth mentioning is that after a large fish is electrically hoisted to the vicinity of the boat, it is easier to pull it up by operating the handle. It is a specification that is particular about fighting with big fish.
The handle length can be changed to 80mm/92mm.
