The Sword Tamer! - Spooled up with 1250 yards of Powerpro Spectra braid and teamed with the 80/130lb Abyss SW
The Reel:
A true beast that can conquer the largest fish and tame the depths of the ocean.
The Beastmaster MD 12000 is the strongest and largest electric reel Shimano has ever produced, created with the mission of achieving overwhelming power, speed, and durability, for fishing in deep waters targeting giant fish. At the heart of the powertrain which bears the name MD ‘Monster Drive’, is the newly developed GIGA MAX brushless motor. With 2.5 times the torque and a constant practical hoisting power of 38kg, it has achieved significantly improved performance in comparison to the 19 Beastmaster 9000. The drag force, which is a decisive factor when fighting with large fish, has achieved an astonishing 43kg. The HAGANE body, a highly rigid metal body, houses this astonishing power. While an improved reinforced gear system, whereby the reduction gear is supported by bearings, achieves impressive efficiency and durability during long fights and fully demonstrates performance in actual battles. The synergistic effect of the new motor, powerful drag system, improved reduction gears, and heat dissipation structure provides unprecedented winding strength and speed, stability, and high durability. By combining the best Shimano technologies and design we have created a reel that overturns conventional concepts. The line capacity, PE8/1200m, has been designed to support anglers that are targeting large hapuka, bass, and swordfish.

The Rod:
Purpose built for those prospecting the depths of the abyss in search of large bottom dwelling species.
New for 2022 the Abyss SW has been redesigned by the team at Shimano New Zealand to offer anglers a range of offshore rods capable of taming even the largest bottom fish encountered in the depths of the ocean. At the heart of the Abyss SW is a T45 blank. Built by rolling graphite tape at a linear 45-degree angle and reinforcing it with two sheets of graphite rolled at opposing angles, the blank of the Abyss SW achieves a significant reduction in weight while maintaining incredible hoop strength and sensitivity. To compliment this robust construction the Abyss SW game rods utilise only the best components. Heavy-duty Fuji SiC and SiN guides have been used throughout the range to ensure optimal line management even under extreme load. While the grip assembly of the game fishing models has been upgraded to feature an innovative adjustable butt giving anglers the option to fish them in straight or bent butt configurations at the push of a button. The Abyss SW is set to reinforce its formidable reputation as the go-to choice for experienced offshore game fisherman looking for a reliable rod to match with their favourite Shimano electric reel.
