Daiwa TANACOM1000 Dendoh Fishing Reel, 30-40 lb, Black

Great product

I really liked how it was able to drop my sinker and bait in a controlled descent down 300 ft. The drag system is excellent and allows very fine adjustments w/o the lever getting loose. Once drag properly sets, it does a great job pulling up heavy loads. I had two giant rockfish at the same time and it was able to pull up (when some slight struggle) without breaking or loosing the fish in the process. It would slow when the fish fought back but then sped up when the fish wasn’t. Overall very happy with performance and overall quality.

I use this reel for Kite fishing off of Ft. Lauderdale, FL. It is a big powerful reel, strong enough to hold my kites in place with three live baits on a line. Great for catching Bill-fish, Kings and Wahoo. I can control my kite distance with a flip of a switch, depending upon my needs, and I can bring in the lines, re-rig and set them back out in a quarter of the time it would take with manual gear. These reels are also great for deep dropping in 600'- 1000' of water when fishing for queen snapper or golden tile fish. It takes the back breaking effort out of retrieving 1000' of line and a 2 to 4 pound weight from the bottom of the ocean. I plan on using it for night time sword fishing as well. This will make checking the lines infinitely easier! Need proof? Check out my avatar. That's me doing it not just posing with a fish. It requires a separate battery to operate, and can be cranked manually as well. Easy to use and the instruction manual is available on the Diawa website for download.

What are you waiting for? Buy it! If you have ever thought you wanted an electric fishing reel you should not look past than this one. I have used several electric reels deep dropping off shore. 300 to 900 feet deep and this reel performs like a Boss. We filled our cooler and enjoyed our day on the water with no muscle cramps from long cranking 8 to 10 pounders from the bottom. Great reel! Great price!

I have had this electric Daiwa tamacon 1000 for one year. I fish in Jamaican waters at depth of 600 to 2500 feet. I can say that the unit is very good, easy to use and have had a lot of good times catching several types of deep water fish. I have not had any other type of deep water fishing reel due to the fact that they can be very expensive, but for us$ 500.00 you can trust this reel, of course you have to be cautious and maintain it by always protecting it by always keeping it clean. You have to have a fully charged battery otherwise it will not be be to retrieve your line when it hits over 1000 feet or more, it needs full battery power 12 volts. I recommend this reel, as i am a fisherman by profession and use it 2 to 3 times every week, so before jumping to buy one of those very expensive deep water electric reel, buy this one. Dear Folks, I have to reconsider the recommendations i have given above. This is now decemebr 2019 and i have to let you know folks that this reel let me down. The motor overheated and it just just wend dead. Ofcourse i have used it a lot meaning twice a week for over a year. After taking apart, i found the motor could no longer run as the circuit board was not functioning, the retrieve function malfunctioned and never recovered. In order to fix it, i would have to source a new motor and a new circuit board. If you are going to use the same reel as a professional fisherman, dont buy it, if however you use it occasionally then it may a good buy.

Excellent Product ,for me one of the best Reel 👍🏾

Bought the reel and fishing rod for my husband and son after they saw someone with it on a deep sea fishing trip in Destin, FL. They went to Destin for Father's Day to test the reels out. My husband suffers from back, neck and shoulder injuries, but still loves to fish. He said he will never go back to winding a reel again. They caught a large cooler full of red snappers and were not exhausted after a 8 hour chartered fishing trip.

My husband has been using his tanacom 1000 sometimes 4 times a week for over a 20 months now and has nothing but positive things to say and full coolers of fish to return home with. .. this product is 100% dependable. He's even landed a 186lb grouper with it without issue! Great reel, wonderful price!
