The Daiwa Tanacom TCS500J Electric Reel offers impressive power in a compact and easy-to-handle package, making it an excellent choice for both stand-up and bottom fishing applications. Designed with the avid angler in mind, this reel is perfect for catching species like tilefish, cod, halibut, and lingcod, while also being capable of handling light kite fishing duties. The TCS500J is built around a durable and rigid aluminum frame, which ensures that the reel can withstand heavy loads while maintaining performance. Its smaller size and lighter weight make it ideal for hand-held operation, providing a comfortable fishing experience without sacrificing power or control.
Equipped with a JOG Power Lever, the Tanacom TCS500J allows anglers to adjust the reel speed easily with one hand, which is especially helpful when fighting fish. The variable speed control offers precise adjustments to line retrieval, giving you the flexibility to adapt to changing fishing conditions. This reel is also outfitted with a line counter and depth memory, allowing anglers to keep track of how much line is out and the exact depth, ensuring better control over bait placement and retrieval. The sealed electronics package ensures the reel remains protected from the harsh saltwater environment, prolonging its lifespan and keeping it performing at its best.
The Daiwa Tanacom TCS500J also features a sealed drag system with Daiwa's Automatic Tournament Drag (ATD), which delivers smooth and consistent drag performance. The ATD system uses advanced drag grease to minimize start-up inertia and deliver powerful yet controlled drag pressure. This feature ensures that even the largest bottom-dwelling fish can be brought to the surface without placing too much strain on the angler or the reel. The sealed drag system helps prevent contaminants from getting inside, maintaining long-term reliability and reducing the need for frequent maintenance.
Designed for versatility and durability, the Tanacom TCS500J’s lightweight construction does not compromise on strength or performance. Weighing just 28.2 oz, the reel is easy to handle and highly portable, making it suitable for a wide range of fishing applications. With a maximum drag of 33 lbs and the ability to hold a substantial amount of braided line, this reel is perfect for deepwater fishing or situations where powerful retrieval capabilities are required. Its washable design makes cleaning easy after a long day on the water, ensuring that the reel remains in excellent working condition for years to come.
