Shimano Beastmaster 9000B Status PE 5-8 Electric Combo With Line

The Shimano Beastmaster 9000B Status PE5-8 Electric Combo was built for hauling up the deep sea dwellers. Fishing the depths can be very hard work without the assistance of an electric reel, that's why this combo was made, it's perfect for chasing Blue Eye Trevalla, Gemfish, Swordfish and any other deep sea species.

Reel - Shimano Beastmaster 9000B Electric Reel

The Shimano 23 Beastmaster 9000B boasts unbeatable power, speed and longevity with its advanced brushless Giga-Max Motor. An impressive 25kg of Cross Carbon Drag guarantees that even the toughest fights can be won. The Constant Speed Mode keeps the retrieve speed steady and power consistent, no matter how intense the battle. Heat-Free vents in the side plate keep the reel working smoothly and effectively. It also features an aluminium-forged clutch lever and an LCD colour screen with an English language option. With a 900m capacity for PE 8 braid, this reel can take you to the depths.

Features:

• Hagane Body - The Hagane Body is produced from high rigidity aluminium or magnesium. This creates stiffness and impact resistance, while at the same time eliminating flexing of the body. The result is a rock-solid housing and support for the moving internal gearing and greater efficiency throughout the reel.
• Giga-Max - This is the industry's first brushless motor. A high-speed, high-torque motor that employs a powerful special rare-earth magnet. The brushless motor means a much longer lasting motor.
• Thermo Adjust Drag Control - A control function that suppresses abnormal heat generation in the drag to maintain stable drag performance. If the drag slips while the motor of the electric reel is on, the gear will idle, causing abnormal heat generation in the drag section. In order to suppress this heat generation, the motor speed is automatically reduced when the drag is slipping.
• S A-RB - Shimano S A-RB bearings are high corrosion resistant ARB ball bearings with an extra shield for improved protection against sand, salt or dust.
• Electronic Exciting Drag - This audible and highly exciting electronic sound that the reel makes when the mode is selected.
• Colour LCD Screen - LCD screen for easy use and operation.

Specs:

• Drag: 25kg
• Gear Ratio: 3.1:1
• Bearings: 12+2
• Weight: 1745g
• Power Pro Capacity: 80lb/980yd

Line - Dog Tooth Fluidcast X8 8 Carrier 80lb Braid

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.

Please note that picture is for reference only. The reel comes fully spooled, you DO NOT receive a 2000m drum.
