Product Details
The Reel:
Shimano built the new Forcemaster 9000 to be versatile and to meet the needs of anglers deep-dropping for bottom fish or flying kites in South Florida for sailfish and other pelagics. Packed with 55 pounds of drag to provide the power needed under immense loads, the Forcemaster 9000 incorporates Shimano's Heat Free System II to reduce the reel's internal temperature when fighting big fish, allowing anglers to focus on what matters most it's not exhausting themselves winching on a reel. And with 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. The Forcemaster 9000 also 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.
The Rod:
Ideal to match with BeastMaster or ForceMaster 9000 for Kite fishing. Winthrop tip offers paramount performance for this style of fishing.
