The Shimano BEASTMASTER MD 12000 Electric Reel is Shimano’s largest and most powerful electric reel ever built — purpose-designed for anglers targeting massive fish in extreme deep-water environments. Combining immense winding power with impressive retrieve speed, the BEASTMASTER MD 12000 is engineered to handle the toughest offshore battles with confidence.
At its core is Shimano’s advanced Giga-Max Motor, delivering 2.5 times the motor torque along with an incredible 38kg of practical winding endurance. This overwhelming lifting power is backed by a reinforced gear system built with Shimano’s renowned attention to durability and precision, ensuring smooth and dependable performance under extreme loads.
When the fight turns serious, the BEASTMASTER MD 12000 responds with Shimano’s most powerful drag system to date, producing an astonishing 43kg of drag pressure to help stop and control truly giant fish.
The immense internal power is housed within Shimano’s rigid HAGANE Body, designed to minimise flex and maximise strength. A dedicated heat dissipation system helps manage drag-generated heat during prolonged fights, maintaining performance when the pressure is on. An extended 80/92mm handle also provides extra leverage and control when fish are close to the boat.
Powerful, fast, and built without compromise, the BEASTMASTER MD 12000 opens a new chapter in deep-drop and big-game fishing — a true beast designed for anglers chasing the ocean’s toughest opponents.
Features & Technology:
- 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 an upgraded 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. *Comparison with BEASTMASTER 9000
- HEAT DISSIPATION SYSTEM
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. *Comparison with BEASTMASTER 9000
- ENHANCED GEAR SYSTEM
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 80/92mm 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.
- HAGANE
HAGANE is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.
- CROSS CARBON DRAG
The CROSS CARBON DRAG provides the smooth drag release and the durability.
- 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,
- GIGA MAX MOTOR
The GigaMax Motor utilizes a brushless design to provide high torque and high speed while maximizing durability.
- 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-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.
- 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.
- FINE DOT LCD
Fine Dot LCD Display provides ultra clear resolution in full sunlight.
