The Beastmaster XB has a large 10000 size spool and is the lowest priced Shimano Big Pit/Surfcasting reel. A great choice for new or occasional anglers, the fashionable black/grey body is complemented by a strong aluminium spool and powerful 4.6:1 retrieve ratio. With a name like Beastmaster you can be sure that this large, tough reel will meet your expectations. Offering excellent value for money, if you are new to long range fishing, or want a second reel for carp or surf fishing, the Beastmaster is worth considering. Although not a match for the more expensive and technically advanced Shimano reels, the Beastmaster has a tough build quality and solid feel that you will find reassuring to use in even the toughest situations.
