DAIWA TANACOM 500 and 750: A Game-Changer in Power-Assist Reels

Compact, Powerful, and Perfect for Stand-Up Fishing​

Daiwa's TANACOM 500 and 750 reels are making waves in the fishing world with their smaller, more compact designs. These reels are much smaller than typical electric reels, allowing anglers to fish with them in-hand rather than in a rod holder. This innovation opens up new possibilities for power-assist reels, particularly for stand-up fishing applications.

Perfect for Specialty Fisheries​

Due to their ability to fish lighter lines, the TANACOM 500 and 750 are ideal for targeting species such as:

• Tilefish
• Cod
• Halibut
• Lingcod
• Sand dabs

Their versatility even extends to being used as a light kite reel. With a sturdy aluminum frame, these reels remain rigid under heavy loads, ensuring durability for the toughest of catches.

Advanced Features for Easy Use​

The TANACOM series comes equipped with a Variable Speed Control for real-time fish retrieval adjustments. This allows anglers to fine-tune the reel’s performance to the situation at hand. The Rugged Power Cord and English-language programming make the TANACOM not only functional but user-friendly as well.

The TANACOM 500, for example, is packed with power and precision, utilizing 6 ball bearings and a roller bearing. It can exert 33-pounds of drag pressure, making it capable of handling large fish while keeping smooth operation.

DAIWA TANACOM S500J: Bringing Power-Assist to the Masses​

DAIWA continues to innovate with the introduction of the TANACOM S500J, a power-assist reel designed for anglers who prefer to hold the reel in hand while fishing. This model bridges the gap between traditional electric reels and handheld fishing gear, allowing anglers to feel the bite and experience the fight firsthand.

JOG Power Lever and Motor Performance​

A standout feature of the TANACOM S500J is the JOG Power Lever, which functions much like an adjustable throttle. With the press of a finger, anglers can control the retrieval speed of their fish, making adjustments as necessary to handle the catch. The reel also features a powerful brushed motor, providing high torque for maximum winding power and strength.

The LCD Display offers essential features like:

• Line counter
• Depth memory
• Reel speed

These tools provide anglers with real-time data, ensuring a seamless fishing experience.

Built to Last: Tough Construction and High Drag Capacity​

The TANACOM S500J boasts a corrosion-resistant design with a durable aluminum frame that ensures long-lasting performance even under extreme conditions. With 33-pounds of drag pressure, it has enough power to tackle tough deep-sea fish like grouper, snapper, and tilefish, making it an excellent tool for both Atlantic and Pacific fisheries.

The Perfect Pairing: DAIWA's New Outrage Rods​

To complement the TANACOM S500J, DAIWA has introduced the Outrage Rods. These rods are built with HVF Nanoplus graphite blanks, ensuring optimal sensitivity and power while reducing weight, making them perfect for long days on the water. With X45 construction, anglers can enjoy improved casting accuracy and reduced blank twist, while Fuji K guides enhance the rod's durability.
