Shimano Beastmaster MD 12000 A Electric Reel – Unmatched Strength, Speed, and Reliability

Built to conquer the giants of the deep, the Shimano Beastmaster MD 12000 A is Shimano’s most powerful and robust electric reel to date. Designed for serious offshore anglers targeting massive species like Yellowfin Tuna and Longtooth Grouper, this reel delivers incredible pulling strength and blazing fast line retrieval, reaching speeds of 170 m/min and offering up to 43 kg of drag pressure with Shimano’s Cross Carbon Drag system.

This flagship electric reel represents the pinnacle of Shimano’s innovation in deep-drop fishing, engineered to provide both brute force and precise control under the toughest conditions.

Monster Drive Power & Advanced Engineering

At the heart of the Beastmaster MD 12000 lies the all-new GigaMax Motor, a brushless powerhouse designed for maximum torque, speed, and long-term durability. Integrated into Shimano’s Monster Drive (MD) system, it delivers seamless power even under the stress of hauling up deep-sea predators.

To ensure optimal performance during long battles, the reel incorporates Shimano’s Heat-Free System, which channels excess heat through sideplate vents, helping to keep internal components cool and performing reliably.

Refined Control with Cutting-Edge Features

• Thermo Adjust Drag: Automatically moderates motor speed when drag slippage occurs, preventing heat buildup and protecting internal parts during intense fights.
