The Daiwa Tanacom Electric Reel (800 & 1200) is the next evolution in deep-drop electric fishing, combining cutting-edge engineering with the legendary reliability of the Tanacom name. Developed over five years in collaboration between Daiwa Japan, Australia, and the USA, the Tanacom 1200 introduces a complete redesign to deliver more power, greater speed, and increased line capacity — setting a new benchmark for offshore electric reels.

Featuring a motor housed inside the spool, the Tanacom 1200 achieves maximum efficiency by reducing power loss and increasing torque. Combined with a completely reengineered drivetrain and heavy-duty gears, this reel offers unmatched pulling strength for deep-water species such as swordfish, hapuka, blue eye trevalla, gemfish, and giant trevally.

The faster retrieval speed is a game-changer for deep dropping, allowing quicker bait checks and repositioning without sacrificing torque. With a massive line capacity of PE 8/1000m, you’ll have the confidence to target fish at extreme depths.

User-friendly innovations include a redesigned menu system with simplified navigation, making setup easy for first-time electric reel users while remaining familiar for seasoned anglers. The upgraded Dot LCD screen provides brighter, sharper visibility — even when wearing polarised sunglasses. From the aluminium ball knob for maximum cranking comfort to the Magsealed body and corrosion-resistant aluminium frame, every detail has been refined to ensure durability and performance in the harshest saltwater conditions.

The Daiwa Tanacom 800 & 1200 are the ultimate tools for dominating the deep, engineered to give you power, speed, and precision like never before.
