Shimano ForceMaster 9000

The Shimano ForceMaster 9000 is a heavy-duty electric reel designed for demanding deep-sea fishing for species such as alfonsino and rockfish, as well as yellowfin tuna, live-bait fishing and other big-game applications. Its large line capacity supports long fights with powerful fish and deep-water fishing.

The Tankenmaru Scale helps anglers identify bottom depth and visualize changing seabed contours, making bottom detection easier and helping reduce snags. A rigid HAGANE Body provides a solid foundation under heavy loads, while the powerful drag system uses four sets of carbon cross washers to deliver a maximum drag of 25 kg, comparable to the BeastMaster 9000.

Heat Free System II improves heat dissipation through ventilation that releases internal heat and supports motor performance during demanding use. The reel also features a high-strength cold-forged aluminum clutch lever and a lightweight, rigid CI4+ handle knob for secure operation.

Additional technologies include HAGANE, HAGANE Body, Tankenmaru compatibility, e-Exciting Drag Sound, S A-RB, Raku-Raku Mode, Constant Speed Mode and Fine Dot LCD. The reel does not contain a lithium battery; Shimano recommends using a high-capacity battery such as the BT Master 11AH to fully utilize its performance.
