Overview
This exceptional combo pairs the Shimano Status Bluewater 5'6" DDM PE:5-8 Straight Butt Roller Tip Rod with the high-performance Shimano Forcemaster 9000 Electric Reel, creating a powerful setup for deepwater fishing. Designed for anglers targeting large species, this combination offers both the robust construction needed to withstand immense pressures and the efficient power to manage demanding deep-sea encounters.
The Shimano Status Bluewater rod is engineered with a Power-Carbon composite blank, blending high-power carbon and E-Glass technology for significant lifting strength and responsiveness.

- Ergonomic Straight Butt: An ergonomic aluminium straight butt on the rod ensures optimum angles for deploying baits, waiting for bites, and effectively battling tough deepwater species.
- Advanced Reel Cooling: The Forcemaster 9000 electric reel includes a watertight ventilation system, providing extra cooling to enable a higher torque range and increased efficiency across its gears.
- High Retrieve Rate: With an impressive retrieve rate of 140 metres per minute, the Forcemaster 9000 allows anglers to spend more time fishing and less time winding.
- Powerful Drag System: A maximum drag of 25 kg on the Forcemaster 9000 ensures ample stopping power for even the biggest deepwater species.
- Shielded A-RB Bearings: These bearings feature shields on both sides, reducing the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting their rotation, ensuring smooth performance in marine environments.
- HAGANE Body: The reel's HAGANE Body provides high rigidity and zero twist, with body stiffness and impact resistance that virtually eliminate flexing, directly transforming angler actions into cranking power.
- Large LCD Display: A clear, large LCD display on the reel provides essential on-screen information such as program, line out, power, and other relevant data, keeping you informed during your fishing expedition.
