The Reel
Catch large fish such as Yellowfin Tuna and Longtooth Grouper at overwhelming speed. With 43kg of Cross Carbon Drag output and able to retrieve line at an astonishing maximum speed of 170m/min, the Shimano Beastmaster MD 12000 A Electric Reel is ready to tackle monsters of the deep. The strongest and largest electric reel in Shimano's history, the Beastmaster MD 12000 was born with the goal of achieving full-fledged deep water and overwhelming power and speed for catching huge fish.

The heart of the powerdrive train bearing the name MD (Monster Drive) is the newly developed new GigaMax Motor with significantly improved performance. This motor utilises a brushless design to provide high torque and high speed while maximising durability. Meanwhile the Heat-Free system allows for heat to be released from the vents in the sideplate, ensuring reliable performance. Finally, the addition of the new Fine Dot LCD screen allows for easy viewing in all light conditions.

The Rod
The Shimano Abyss SW Deep Drop Bent Butt Game Rod has been designed, tested, redesigned, tested, tweaked and tested again by Team Shimano and Tony Orton from Offshore Adventures and his busy charter crews. And now it's here!

Shimano's latest range of blue water-centric rods is built on ultra-tough Shimano T45 graphite blanks and fitted with top quality Fuji reel seats. The all-new Shimano Abyss SW Bent Butt Stand Up Game Rod is a dynamic, low maintenance game rod with Fuji SiN II guides and Aftco bent butt. It's engineered not only to look awesome from the tip to the butt section but it also completes MSL tests of well over specified line ratings at 45° and 60° respectively. And not only that, it's built tough enough to handle the rigours of day-to-day charter work. Get ready to do some serious fishing!
