SHIMANO - FORCEMASTER - 600 / 601 DH - ELECTRIC JIGGING / BOTTOM FISHING REELS
A powerful, compact device that puts everything in your hands
What kind of electric reel can be controlled more intuitively and safely by anyone, and can broaden and deepen the fun of fishing? The Force Master 600 series pursues and evolves this question.
The Touch Drive Speed ​​Lock has evolved with the concept of "not letting the fish you have caught fall apart". Hooking mode allows you to instantly set the electric hook in any position. The new fall lever allows you to control the fall speed. By equipping it with these new functions, the operability of the electric reel in both winding and falling has been upgraded to a new dimension. The heart of the reel is the MUTEKI motor +, which is excellent in power and speed, and the maximum drag force is 10 kg, which is 25% higher (※1). In addition, the display that provides information to anglers is colored, and it is equipped with a Tanshinmaru screen that conveys information about the sea. It also has the information power to not miss an opportunity. The line winding amount PE2 300m/PE3 200m is highly versatile for hairtail, bait red sea bream, bluefish, etc., and can be used for a variety of fish species in various fields all over the country. With the addition of these new functions, it has evolved powerfully, while maintaining durability and achieving lightweight and compactness. Lure, hook, reel, and avoid. With everything in your hands, you can enjoy it stress-free, either electrically or by hand.
The lineup includes four types: the 600 and 601 single handles with excellent winding power, and the 600DH and 601DH double handles for rhythmic lures. We offer the fun of manipulating an electric reel to all anglers.
*Compared to the 1:20 Force Master 600

To what extent can an electric reel move simultaneously with human will? If you could operate it naturally, as if you were holding a hand... At the thrilling moment of hooking, in the midst of a breathtaking fight, you can control it instinctively, as if you were breathing. In order to achieve true operability, not only mechanical values ​​are required, but also functionality and design rooted in ergonomics that do not interfere with human movement. The new Force Master 600 adds advanced information capabilities to reliable power and speed, along with operability and design that can be handled more intuitively and with peace of mind, packaged in a highly versatile compact body. Introducing a powerful compact that puts everything in your hands. |
The answer to the question of how to operate an electric reel and not lose a hooked fish is right here. |

Evolved operability, Touch Drive Speed ​​Lock. Touch Drive Speed ​​Lock allows you to instantly reel in the line at the desired speed (mid-speed setting) with a single touch. Just like the accelerator of a car, pressing Touch Drive again accelerates and releasing it decelerates, allowing you to follow the movement of your target and control the speed freely. In what situations is it actually useful? For example, when a hairtail bites, the preset mid-speed is too slow to catch up, so pressing Touch Drive again will accelerate it faster than the mid-speed, and releasing Touch Drive will decelerate it and return to the mid-speed. The advantage of this operation is that it is now easy to prevent pulling (loosening) immediately after placing a load on the tip of the rod. Similarly, when pumping the lure when fighting with bluefish or when delicately lifting it up with thin line for bait-based red sea bream, it can be easily accelerated or decelerated in accordance with the rod action. |

Instantly reel it in at the desired speed to increase efficiency. Since there is no need to adjust the speed each time you reel in a horse mackerel, you can catch horse mackerel with very simple operations. *When Touch Drive Speed ​​Lock (regardless of ON/OFF) x Medium Speed ​​is set to ON. |
Hooking mode. Speedier hooking possible! |
![]() |
The difference from the above modes is that with one touch, you can reel in faster than the medium speed. For example, it is suitable for fish species that require instantaneous fast reeling, such as the feeding of a Tenya Tachiuo, and by reeling in instantly at high speed, you can hook the line more quickly. *Hooking mode can be switched ON/OFF. |
Easily and accurately control fall speed. |
![]() |
The fall lever allows easy and precise control of the fall speed, which was previously difficult to control. Now you can strategically lure with a slow fall. The new fall lever installed in the Force Master 600 series is equipped with a one-way roller bearing inside, so there is no resistance to handle rotation or motor winding even when the fall tension (brake) is applied. The braking force of the fall can handle a load equivalent to 80-gou weight. By checking the fall speed displayed on the counter, you can reproduce the hit pattern in various fishing such as Tenya Tachiuo, Komase Madai, Otoshikomi, and squid. |
High torque and power MUTEKI MOTOR+ and maximum drag force of 10kg for real fishing ability. |

The Force Master 600 series is equipped with a MUKTEKI Motor+, which maintains high torque even at high temperatures and exerts strong power. In terms of actual fishing, it has excellent response time when driven, and you can feel the advantage in every scene of actual fishing, such as touching up the tackle, hooking, and fighting. The drag force, which is the key to mastering the performance of the motor, has been increased by 25% (※) to 10 kg. It allows you to reel in dragon-class hairtails and will not flinch when fighting with bluefish. *Compared to 20 Force Master 600 |
Easy palming and lightweight for one-handed control. |

The S compact body, with the power cable connector located on the handle side, allows for palming that feels like you are wrapping your hand around it. While providing sufficient line capacity and power for hairtail, red sea bream, and grunt, the reel size is kept at the same height as Shimano's smallest electric reel, the Force Master 200, allowing you to operate the touch drive and speed clutch with your palmed hand. In addition, while implementing and enhancing new functions such as a new fall lever, increased drag force, and a color display, the internal structure has been revised to reduce weight without sacrificing strength or durability. |
Versatile enough to be used with a variety of fish species. |

PE2 300m / PE3 200m. This line capacity means that it can cover a wide range of fishing up to 200 meters deep. For example, it is suitable for hairtail, bait red sea bream, bluefish, light drop fishing, flounder, tilefish, shallow squid, akamutsu, as well as grunt, striped jack, and horse mackerel fishing. Equipped with advanced functions, the Force Master 600 series is highly versatile and can greatly expand the range of fishing with just one unit. |
Information that can change the course of your fishing. |
![]() |
Will the seabed go down or up from now on? How have the schools of fish and the depths changed? The Tanshinmaru screen, which is equipped with a color fish finder display function, allows you to know the current state of the sea, which is difficult to judge even for experienced veterans. The display shows the seabed depth, seabed shape, school size, fish size (individual fish), and the trajectory of the tackle. For example, when fishing for hairtail, if a reaction appears in the middle layer, quickly searching for that depth can greatly change the development of the fishing. Also, when fishing for ground bait or drop fishing, knowing the moment when a school of fish appears increases the chance of seizing the opportunity. This information can be seen on the Tanshinmaru CV-FISH, but by displaying it on the reel display, you can naturally know the fish finder information while fishing without having to move your eyes significantly from the tip of the rod. *The Tanshinmaru screen can be used on all vessels equipped with the Tanshinmaru main unit. |
"Instant and precise" concept. System tackle creates outstanding operability. |
![]() |
When an angler feels a bite in their hand or sees it at the tip of the rod, they instinctively set the hook faster than they can think, and if they are using an electric reel, they move on to reeling it in. At this time, the ideal operation is for the angler to keep their eyes on the tip of the rod and the line stretching out into the sea, while concentrating on rod control, predicting the movement and size of the target and instantly deciding and accurately adjusting the electric reeling speed. To achieve this ideal faster and more accurately, the Force Master 600 is equipped with a touch drive speed lock that allows you to instantly reel in the line at the desired speed with a single touch, and allows intuitive speed adjustments by simply pressing and releasing your finger when fighting. This realizes a new dimension of operability for electric reels. Furthermore, by matching it with the rod's grip, the X-Seat Technical Gun Grip, which has improved operability, stable operation is achieved, allowing you to utilize the Touch Drive function, which is the strong point of the Force Master 600, more quickly, accurately, and for longer fishing sessions. It allows for precise operation without any thought at the "moment" of a bite or fight. In other words, it is a seamless combination of rod control and electric winding, so please experience the "instantaneous precision" concept. |

Touch Drive The touch drive seesaw pressure-sensitive switch on the top of the reel allows you to adjust the speed in 31 steps by pressing your thumb, and you can change the speed one step at a time with each press. This allows for flexible operation. In addition, a new intermediate speed setting function has been added that allows you to instantly reel in at your preferred speed with one touch. Even in situations where you accidentally press the switch when a fish is hooked and you put in too much force, the reeling speed will not exceed the set speed, so you can avoid cutting the mouth of horse mackerel, coming off the hook when the reel is shallow, and breaking the line when the line is thin. In addition, the intermediate speed setting can be freely changed (upper limit) according to the angler's preference. |
