BEASTMASTER MD 12000

SHIMANO's strongest and largest ever. A true BEASTMASTER that conquers even the super big and deep sea.

To reel up powerfully by multipoint hooking in full-scale deep water. It must also be able to catch large fish such as yellowfin tuna and kuei with overwhelming speed. Furthermore, it must not break. 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 38 kg 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 43 kg, 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 80/92 mm long handle makes it easy to reel in the fish when fishing near the boat's edge.
An undersea information screen displays undersea information in real time in color, essential for catching the moment when you encounter a big fish. 
The strongest and largest ever SHIMANO power rod. The MD12000, a "true beast" boasting power and speed never before experienced, marks a new chapter in big game and deep sea fishing.

*Comparison with the 1:19 BEASTMASTER 9000

*TANKENMARU screen/TANKENMARU scale can be used on all vessels equipped with a TANKENMARU master unit. The Accu-Fish function and fish depth display can only be used on vessels equipped with an ACCU-FISH-compatible master unit.

[About power source]
The product is not powered by a lithium battery.

To ensure full performance of the reel, we recommend the use of a high-capacity battery (our BT MASTER 11AH).

FEATURE

NEW GIGA-MAX MOTOR

GIGA MAX MOTOR is only available on the BEASTMASTER series. The greatest feature of this motor is that it is a brushless structure motor without brushes made of carbon or copper, which are employed as one part that conducts electric current, so there are no parts that wear out and it has a long service life. At the same time, it also has the advantage of being able to deliver strong power even at high temperatures, when performance tends to deteriorate. The BEASTMASTER MD 12000 is equipped with a newly developed NEW GIGA MAX MOTOR that has been enlarged to achieve overwhelming power and speed. Motor torque achieved an astonishing 2.5 times*. The wind-up power and speed tests also recorded unparalleled speed and strength. From the moment you wind it up, you will experience a new dimension of motor power.

Heat dissipation system: Improved heat dissipation and body reinforcement.

Improved heat dissipation in the side plate section.

During a long, high-load extreme fight, the temperature of the side plate section rises if the drag is allowed to slip for a long period of time. BEASTMASTER MD 12000 uses aluminum for some of the side plates, which improves heat dissipation by 60%* and strengthens the body.

Enhanced Gear System.

Gear system with ball bearings for amazing durability.

The gear system has been significantly strengthened, including bearing support for the reduction gears, to achieve a threat of durability. The synergistic effect with the NEW GIGA-MAX MOTOR provides unprecedented winding strength, speed, and stability. This is a reinforced gear system for long-lasting battle along with a brushless structure motor that boasts high durability.

80/92mm long handle.

When using a large 200-300 bait for live-lining, manual reeling with the handle is the standard operation after frequently repeatedly taking up the bottom or reeling in a large fish near the boat's edge with an electric motor. The 80/92 mm long handle allows for powerful hand-winding without compromising a single moment*. The specifications have been carefully designed for fighting with large fish.
*Handle length can be changed between 80mm/92mm.

HAGANEBODY_RL_EL
HAGANE BODY

The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing on the reel while fighting a fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power,


GIGAMAXMOTOR_RL_EL
GIGA MAX MOTOR

The GigaMax Motor utilizes a brushless design to provide high torque and high speed while maximizing durability.


THERMOADJUSTDRAG_RL_EL
THERMO ADJUST DRAG

Thermo Adjust Drag is a control function designed to suppress abnormal heat generation of the drag to maintain stable drag performance. If the drag slips while the motor of the electric reel is on, the gear will idle and cause an abnormal heat generation in the drag portion of the reel. As a way to suppress excess heat, the speed of the motor is automatically reduced by the Thermo Adjust Drag when the drag begins to slip.


e-EXCITINGDRAGSOUND_RL_EL
e-EXCITING DRAG SOUND

The e-Exciting Drag Sound is an electronic drag sound from the reel when a fish makes a run. This creates a modern solution to the mechanical clicker while adding excitement to an angler’s experience.


SA-RB_RL_EL
S A-RB

S A-RB bearings are put through the same process as Shimano’s A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the rotation of the bearing.


RAKUSOKUMODE_RL_EL
RAKURAKU MODE/FIXED SPEED MODE

Raku Raku Mode: Winding with constant tension to match the load on the reel. It is effective when anglers use thin line, targeting fish with soft mouths or eat upward. Fixed Speed Mode: Maintains and winds a constant speed regardless of the magnitude of the load applied to the reel. It is effective when anglers want to increase the winding power.
