The Shimano Beastmaster 9000B makes a major leap forward in electric reel technology with the introduction of the GIGAMAX MOTOR, a brushless motor designed to provide high torque and high speed while maximizing durability. The motor complimented by the new THERMO ADJUST DRAG system which is a control system made to suppress abnormal heat generation and maintain stable drag performance under load. It does this by automatically reducing the speed of the motor whilst the drag is slipping. The reel boasts a cross carbon drag system giving it 25kg of pressure.

Whether you’re bombing the abyss off the continental shelf, targeting mid depths or just want to have the low down pulling power in “shallow” water to get your tasty table fish to the boat before the men in grey suits get to them, the Beastmaster 9000B has the technology to do it all and keep doing long into the future.

Combo Breakdown

If you're chasing a powerful electric setup that can handle heavy rigs and serious fish, this combo is built for exactly that. The Shimano Beastmaster 9000B sits at the heart of it and brings some serious pulling power to the table. Shimano’s GIGAMAX brushless motor delivers a strong combination of torque and speed, which means the reel can lift heavy sinkers and big fish efficiently while still retrieving quickly when you need to reposition baits or check gear. The Thermo Adjust Drag system is another clever feature, helping control heat and keep drag performance stable during long fights.

We’ve paired it with the Shimano Status Elite Deep Drop 6'8" PE5–8 rod, which matches the reel perfectly for this style of fishing. Built on a carbon composite blank combining E-Glass and graphite, the rod has the strength needed for heavier electric setups while still maintaining the sensitivity to detect bites and movement down the line.

To complete the setup, it’s spooled with Daiwa J-Braid x8 80lb Multi-Colour, which is ideal for electric reel fishing. The 8-strand construction gives you excellent strength and smooth performance through the guides, while the colour changes help anglers easily track depth and line out when fishing different water depths.

Overall this combo gives you a seriously capable electric setup that can handle both shallow reef fishing and deeper offshore drops. Electric reels like this are perfect for taking the strain out of winding heavy sinkers and big rigs all day. They’re great for long sessions on the water, older anglers, anyone dealing with shoulder or arm injuries, or anglers who’d simply rather let the reel do the hard work while they enjoy the fishing.
