Daiwa Tanacom 800 Deep Drop Combos

Daiwa Tanacom 800 Medium Deep Drop Combos 

This combo is designed for fishing a variety of depths and is lighter than the tradditional 1000 and 1200 size deep drop combos. There are a few advantages of using the lighter combo and they are that you can more comfortably pick these combos up and hold them making it much more fun and sporting to use on the big ooglies. Another advantage is the fact that this combo only comes with 65lb line meaning you can fish stronger currenty and higher winds in deeper water due to the lower resistance but will still get 800m on it. We have also selected the two deep drop rods on the market that have a fast action with a nice soft tip so you can see the bites if you want to use these combos on smaller dimersals in shallower water. 

This combo includes:

• Daiwa Tanacom 800
• J Braid X4 65lb multi 800m 
• Penn Ocean Assassin Deep Drop / Shimano Tag-em Deep Drop 

The Reel: 

It’s not often Daiwa releases a new electric dendoh reel and there’s arguably no name more famous in the category than TANACOM. A total overhaul from the ground up, TANACOM 1200 is a project half-a-decade in the making between Daiwa Japan engineers and teams within Australia and America.

Sporting a totally new design incorporating the motor housed inside the spool has given Daiwa engineers the ability to increase the efficiency of the powerful motor, the same reliable unit that’s been used on TANACOM 1000 in the past. Installed in this new frame, the motor generates even more power thanks to an improved drivetrain which has been totally reengineered with beefier gears and internal components to improve durability and minimise power loss.

More power is also accompanied by more speed, a feat often difficult to achieve since a faster retrieve inevitably means lower torque, the same principal as to why bikes are easier to ride up a hill in low gear as opposed to high. The faster retrieve speed of TANACOM 1200 is a great feature when deep dropping, as your ability to reposition or check baits is sped up dramatically. A side benefit of the new design is an Increased line capacity. With TANACOM 1200 now boasting a line capacity of PE8/1000m. 

Setting up the TANACOM 1200 is also now easier than ever, with a redesigned menu system which has been simplified and carefully designed to offer easy user experience for first time users and familiarity for long-time Daiwa dendoh fans. The Dot Monitor LCD screen has also been improved, with a brighter display and better viewing angles when wearing polarised sunglasses.

All areas of the reel design have been addressed with the development of TANACOM 1200. From small quality of life improvements like the aluminium ball knob, to hugely functional changes like the increased speed & power. 

TANACOM has continually set the benchmark for quality and value for money in the electric reel space and the new TANACOM 1200 is set to elevate the bar once again. Dominate the deep with TANACOM 1200.
