Shimano quality and reliability stands at the forefront of Shimano's Forcemaster 9000A. This reel delivers on strength, speed, drag and torque.

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 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.

Product Technologies: 

C14+

C14+ is an advanced version of the original C14. This highly technical material is 2.5 times stiffer than C14 and is used to increase weight savings. 

Cross Carbon Drag

This carbon drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.

Fine Dot Lcd

Fine Dot LCD Display provides ultra-clear resolution in full sunlight.

Hagane Body

The HAGANE Body is produced from high rigidity aluminium or magnesium. This creates stiffness and impact resistance, while at the same time eliminating flexing of the body. The result is a rock-solid housing and support for the moving internal gearing and greater efficiency throughout the reel.

Heat Free System Il

Heat Free System Il dissipates motor heat to ensure Forcemaster delivers peak power all day long.

S ARB

Shimano S ARB bearings are high corrosion resistant ARS ball bearings with an extra shield for improved protection against sand, salt or dust.

Electronic Exciting Drag Sound

This audible and highly exciting electronic sound that the reel makes when the mode is selected.
