The strongest electric reel Shimano has ever built.
The Shimano Beastmaster MD 12000A isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a complete step into another class of power. Built around the Monster Drive (MD) system, this reel delivers overwhelming torque, speed, and durability for targeting the biggest fish in the deepest water.
At its core is the next-generation GIGA MAX brushless motor, producing 2.5x more torque than previous models. Combined with a massive 43kg drag system and a fully reinforced gear train, this reel is designed to dominate swordfish, hapuka, bass, and giant offshore species.
This is not just an electric reel…
This is a machine built for giants.
Go deeper than ever. Fight harder than ever. Win.
