Maximum power. Surprisingly light.
The Shimano Thunnus 12000 F Ci4 is built for anglers targeting serious fish — kingfish, XOS snapper, and other powerful species — while still delivering the lightweight feel that makes long sessions easier.
Thanks to the CI4 body and rotor, this reel is significantly lighter than traditional reels in this class, reducing fatigue without sacrificing strength. Combined with Shimano’s proven Baitrunner system, it allows fish to run freely before you engage the drag and take control.
With high line capacity and strong drag performance, this is the reel you reach for when the fish are bigger and the stakes are higher.
Big fish capability. Less strain on you.
