Shimano’s Beastmaster MD 12000 Electric reel stands as the pinnacle of fishing technology, boasting powerful winding with multi-point hooking capabilities in deep waters. Designed to capture large fish like yellowfin tuna and Swordfish with unparalleled speed, this reel is not only unbreakable but also Shimano’s strongest and largest in history. At its core is the Monster Drive (MD) system featuring the newly developed GIGA-MAX Motor, achieving 2.5 times the motor torque and a hoisting endurance of 38kg. The reinforced gear system, embodying Shimano’s technological expertise, combines overwhelming speed and power. With a drag force of 43kg, it stands as the strongest in Shimano’s history, capable of reeling in super-large fish. The Hagane body, a rigid metal housing, ensures durability, while the heat dissipation system and Kenkenmaru screen enhance its suitability for long fights and provide real-time underwater information. The Shimano Beastmaster MD 12000 redefines big game and deep sea fishing, marking a new era with unprecedented power and speed.
This line is ideal for deep dropping due to the 8 strand braid paired with the teflon coating, which combine to provide a round, thin and super smooth braid. Not only does the Teflon coating provide extra smoothness to the line, it also has water repellent properties so that the line doesn't soak up too much water and become heavy and lose strength over time.
When deep dropping you need a smooth braid to minimise friction and heat generation in the line due to the heavy weights and fish being hauled up, which is exactly what the Dog Tooth Fluidcast X8 achieves.
