The Shimano BM9000 Beastmaster Electric Dendou Reel is built upon the brushless Gigamax motor that greatly improves high end torque, speed, and durability all the while producing less heat. We all know that the generation of heat is the downfall of all electric reels, especially under high drags and torque when daytime swordfishing or hauling in other giants of the deep. In addition to the Gigamax motor, the Beastmaster also incorporates a Thermo adjust drag that provides a 50% heat reduction, along with Heat Free System II that allows any built up heat to release through the side vents within the reel’s side plate. With the heat reduction technologies built into the BM9000, the reel also offers extreme power, with 55lbs of drag at full and 250lbs of winding strength. Normally reels with this type of power and capabilities are extremely heavy and cumbersome, while the Beastmaster weighs in at only 53oz and is easily maneuvered around your boat after the initial hook up. Whether you are kite fishing, deep dropping for tilefish and other deep water dwellers, or even daytime swordfishing, the Beastmaster from Shimano is a fantastic option that can simply get the job done.



Shimano Technology Found In Beastmaster Electric Dendou Reels :
  • S A-RB Bearings - These bearings undergo the same anti-corrosion process as Shimano’s A-RB Bearings, with the addition of shields on both sides of the bearings to reduce the possibility of salt, dirt, or other foreign objects inhibiting the bearing’s rotation.
  • E-Exciting Drag Sound - Produces an audible drag sound in place of a mechanical clicker to provide the angler better feedback when a fish makes a run.
  • Gigamax Motor - A brushless motor design that provides the angler with extraordinary torque, high speeds, and supreme durability.

Great Deep Drop Reel
February 15, 2019
Holds appx 1800 ft of line with 200 lb top shot for swords - only problem is it doesnt stop at 500lb+ fish. Got spooled sitting at 1600 feet after fighting a fish with nearly locked drag for an hour. Oh well, keeps you coming back.

what can i say about the BM9000. compact. powerhouse that is a staple of my charter biz. from deep drop sword to big eye tuna off the bottom to 50 lb class tiles it has never let me down. Swordfish to 360 lbs and big eye to 222lbs on this little girl. For the money you can not beat this reel . performs as well as some of the 4500$ reels on the market while be light and super easy to fish. with little draw on your boats batteries!

Are there any lugs for attaching kidney/bucket harness or shoulder harness on this reel? 
1 Answer
These reels are not constructed with any attachments for a harness. However you can purchase these: https://www.tackledirect.com/braid-reel-rest.html which attach above the reel seat and act as lugs to attach to a harness.

1- Is it possible to program the display screen to the Arabic language and to obtain a brochure in the Arabic language?2- I bought from youplatinum hook rods tdps645080wtsinIs this reel suitable for him?3- They recommend the best portable lithium battery that works for a long time that fits this reel, with mentioning its price.. (I am not talking about the car battery).4- The best brand of 80 libra braid is suitable.
1 Answer
Unfortunately we cannot obtain the information you need from Shimano Fishing USA. I would recommend contacting Shimano Fishing Asia for further assistance on your request. https://fish.shimano.com.sg/content/fish/asia/sg/en/homepage/ContactUs.html Unfortunately we do not carry any portable lithium battery packs that would work for the Beastmaster 9000A. Here is a link to a portable battery option that is compatible with the Shimano Beastmaster 9000A. https://batpower.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=242 For line options I would recommend Power Pro 80lb 1500yds Braided Spectra Fishing Line Moss Green. This is a strong durable line that would work well with the Beastmaster 9000A.

Can i use wire line in this reel
1 Answer
This reel has an aluminum spool therefore the dissimilar metals may cause some corrosion issues if spooled with wire line. You can use braided line which when used with weights or heavy lures will cut through the water column and get deep.
