The Reel
If you’re looking for a reel that provides a great deal of power and capacity for deep drops, this is the product for you. New to the market is the Shimano Dendou-Maru Forcemaster 9000 Electric Power Assist Reel. This highly efficient reel build is born from the Japanese Domestic Model catalogue and features only the best Shimano components available. Its 140m per minute retrieve rate allows more time fishing and less time winding with a max drag of 25kg even the biggest bottom dwellers will roll over on the Shimano Dendou-Maru Forcemaster 9000 Electric Power Assist Reel. Extra cooling features such as the water-tight ventilation system allows a higher torque range with more efficiency across the gears. Deep water fishing just got cooler!
Sealed Anti-Rust Bearings (S-ARB)
These bearings have been through the same process as Shimano’s A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides that reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearings’ rotation.
Hagane Body
This reel has high rigidity and zero twist. The body stiffness and impact resistance eliminates body flexing.The result transforms the angler’s actions directly into cranking power. It’s efficiency through strength.
The Rod
Designed for electric reel deep sea fishing, the Shimano Status Bent Butt Game Rod is constructed using high power carbon and e-glass blank technology to withstand and absorb the pressures of deepwater fishing. Its aluminium bent butt allows for optimum angles when deploying baits while waiting for bites and fighting tough deepwater species like bass, hapuka and bluenose. The Shimano Status Rod is aesthetically stunning – with a black blank highlighted with subtle flecks of silver, silver/blue bindings and a carbon weave. It makes not only a great performer but an attractive addition to your deepwater arsenal.
