A newly enlarged mechanical brake knob provides quick and precise control, making it particularly useful for controlled drop techniques and fall fishing. NEW GIGA-MAX MOTOR Exclusive to Shimano electric reels, the GIGA-MAX MOTOR uses a brushless motor design without conventional carbon or copper brushes. By eliminating these wear components, Shimano has improved motor durability and long-term reliability. Another major advantage of the GIGA-MAX MOTOR is its ability to maintain strong performance even under high-temperature conditions, where conventional motors can lose efficiency. In the new Beastmaster MD3000, motor torque has been increased by 40% compared with the 2016 Beastmaster 3000XP. This gives the MD3000 the powerful winding performance of the 3000XP combined with the high-speed capability of the 3000XS. The result is an electric reel that delivers an impressive combination of power, speed and durability, giving anglers the confidence to take on demanding deep-water and big-game fishing situations. 40% torque increase compared with the 16 Beastmaster 3000XP. For optimum performance, Shimano recommends using a high-capacity 10Ah electric reel battery. Large Mechanical Brake Knob The enlarged mechanical brake knob provides greater control for modern fall-fishing techniques. Its larger profile makes it easy to adjust quickly with your thumb while fishing. The improved braking force allows anglers to better control the descent of their rig, making it particularly useful when targeting Japanese common squid, spear squid and blackthroat seaperch, as well as when presenting bait during controlled drops. Powerful 25kg Drag System The Beastmaster MD3000 features a significantly upgraded drag system capable of producing an impressive 25kg of maximum drag. That's a substantial increase over the 20kg maximum drag of the 2016 Beastmaster 3000XP/XS, bringing the MD3000's drag performance closer to the level of the larger Beastmaster 9000. Combined with the powerful GIGA-MAX MOTOR, this drag system gives the MD3000 the strength required for serious deep-water and heavy-duty fishing. Reinforced Gear System Shimano has significantly strengthened the MD3000's internal gearing, including a bearing-supported reduction gear, to improve durability and winding stability under heavy loads. Working together with the new GIGA-MAX MOTOR, the upgraded gear system delivers outstanding winding power, speed and smoothness, while providing the durability needed for prolonged battles with powerful fish. This reinforced drivetrain is designed to make full use of the brushless motor's high durability and impressive torque, giving the Beastmaster MD3000 the strength to perform when it matters most.
