If you’re a fan of fishing, you know that the quality of your gear can mean the difference between landing a monster fish and going home empty-handed.
If you’re looking for an electric reel that can handle even the biggest catches, look no further than the Shimano Forcemaster! This bad boy is built to last and can take on any fish in any condition.
About The Shimano Forcemaster
Shimano’s new Forcemaster electric reel is designed for Florida fishermen who demand the best in performance and durability. This reel packs a whopping 55lbs of drag, making it ideal for fishing in deep waters or for kite fishing for sailfish.
Shimano’s Heat Free System II reduces the reel’s internal temperature when fighting big fish, allowing anglers to focus on landing their catch. This system also prevents the reel from overheating, extending its lifespan and making it more durable.
The Shimano Forcemaster 9000 pairs perfectly with both of Shimano’s Talavera Bluewater Deep-Drop rods, ultimately creating a full system to enhance performance when targeting deep-water species.
With line winding speeds of 153 yards per minute, anglers can quickly crank in bottom rigs or reel in kites to change out baits with the speed needed when it matters most during a hot bite.
Combined with the added power and durability of the Talavera Bluewater rods, the Shimano Forcemaster 9000 provides anglers with a top-of-the-line deep-water fishing setup.
Build
The Shimano Forecmaster electric reel is a high-quality reel that utilizes CI4 material. This material is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material and is 2.5x more rigid than its predecessor.
While improving lightness and rigidity, reel bodies and rotors built with CI4+ are further reduced in size and weight.
The Shimano Forecmaster electric reel is one of the best purpose-built reels on the market for a variety of reasons, but one of the most notable is its Cross Carbon Drag system.
This drag system is made from a material that provides more drag settings than traditional materials, meaning that you can tailor the reel’s performance to your specific needs.
The Cross Carbon Drag also offers smooth Shimano drag performance, increased durability, and a wider range of settings, making it one of the best options on the market.
For line capacity, you won’t be disappointed. Using Power-Pro braid, you can expect over 2000 yards with 40lb, and over 1000 for 80lb.
This isn’t all. This reel packs so many Shimano technologies it would take a while to describe them all, but here is a handy list of what we missed:
- S A-RB Bearings
- Fine Dot LCD Display
- Hagane Body
- e-Exciting Drag Sound
