Shimano ForceMaster 1000

The Shimano ForceMaster 1000 combines the light, responsive handling of a light-game electric reel with the power and durability of a 3000-class model. Designed for powerful hand-held fights, it features the NEW Touch Drive with an intermediate-speed setting and Speed Clutch for smooth one-handed control.

The MUTEKI MOTOR+ is a high-speed, high-torque brushed motor delivering a maximum drag of 15 kg, practical winding strength of 8. 5 kg and maximum winding speed of 210 m/min, providing the power needed to challenge large pelagic fish.

A reinforced gear system, similar to that used in the BeastMaster 1000EJ, supports the reduction gears with bearings to improve durability under heavy loads. The S Compact Body improves palming and reel stability, while the Fire Mach System uses multiple S A-RB bearings on key rotating shafts to achieve fast, smooth rig descent.

Touch Drive provides 31-step speed adjustment and allows an intermediate maximum speed to be preset, helping prevent excessive retrieval speed. Tankenmaru Scale can display bottom depth, bottom contours and fish-school information when used with compatible systems.

Other features include electric constant-speed winding control, handle-speed display, e-Exciting Drag Sound, CI4+, S A-RB, Raku-Raku Mode, Constant Speed Mode and Fine Dot LCD. The reel does not contain a lithium battery; Shimano recommends a high-capacity battery such as the BT Master 11AH to fully utilize its performance.
