I'm thinking about picking up a Shmimano Beastmaster, can anyone give me thier opinions on this reel? I was told it was a very good one. I plan on using it on a heavy action rod set up for BIG pike and bigger bass in heavy cover. Thanks in advance, Walt

Hi Walt, Think Shimano Reels are very good. I own four SpeedMasters with Fightn' Star drag and they hold up to the BIG Kings on Lake Ontario just fine. I've smoked a Penn on those fish, but never a problem with Shimano. hope this helps fred | |||||

HI; I have a Beastmaster, and it (as are all of my Shimanos) is one of my favorites. Good Stuff. Dirk |
