Shimano Beastmaster XSA 7000 Reel

Shimano Beastmaster 7000 XSA Reel

A classic big pit reel, the Shimano Beastmaster 7000 XSA is surprising in its performance ability. Amazingly affordable, the Beastmaster XSA features a whole host of outstanding Shimano technologies that wouldn’t look out of place on a reel double its cost. Shimano’s patented ARC spool lets the line from the reel in small and precise motions which, when combined with Aero Wrap II, ensures perfect line lay with limited loss of speed. This allows you to cast outstanding distances with precision accuracy each time. Power Roller reduces line twist, almost eliminating the risk of tangles, and is especially effective when you’re fishing with a thin mono or a braid. Instant Drag allows you make microscopic adjustments to the reel drag quickly and easily – perfect for quick switches between free spool mode and fight mode when a big fish takes.

The frame of the reel is constructed from XT-7 – Shimano’s original and go-to material for robust and lightweight reels. A Zinc Diecast Gear system sits in this frame and works to give incredibly cranking power for handling those large fish.  Dyna-Balance counteracts reel movement on the retrieve, eliminating vibrations and increasing sensitivity and smoothness of performance. Super Stopper II completely eliminates rearward backplay when the reel is set into anti-reverse – giving solid hooksets each time.

The ideal big pit reel for the angler on a budget, this Shimano reel offers up a whole host of performance bonuses that will allow you to fish to your best every time. Shimano has been producing outstanding fishing reels since 1970. Producing tackle to exacting Japanese standards, Shimano is uniquely concerned about the environmental impact of fishing. Committed to bringing 21^st century technology to the art of fishing, Shimano produces products across the disciplines – focussing on specialist fishing as well as the coarse and match discipline.
