DAIWA TECHNOLOGY
■JOG POWER LEVER
The new Seaborg Jog Power Lever system is designed for standup fishing techniques. With the standing fight concept in mind, the Jog Lever will allow an immediate response to wind the line. When standing with the rod/reel outfit in your right hand the lever can be controlled with your left thumb. Alternatively when using your left hand to hold the outfit, pinching the lever with your right hand will allow you to control the machine easily. This easy to use function will allow you to continuously lead the fight against your target.
One finger operation, the JOG Power Leaver allows for instant, variable speed, and power adjustment without having to take your hand off the rod.
■ Magsealed ball bearing
Daiwa’s ultimate technology – Magsealed Ball Bearing prevents water and dust intrusion inside the ball bearing which greatly reduces reel corrosion and noise. Applied to the spool shaft surrounding, a place where salt and dust intrusion is most likely to happen and maintenance is difficult. This will improve the long-term durability and the smoothness.
■ FALL BRAKE DIAL
“Fall brake dial” that can instantly set the falling speed of the device. The large aluminum dial allows delicate operation even with wet fingertips.
In drop fishing, stable drop control improves the attachment of bait during the fall, and in surume squid fishing, it catches the touch of squid that reacts in the middle layer.
Adjustable from MIN (free) to MAX in about half a turn
(Two sets of dial guide stickers are included, including spares)
■ Dot Screen Display
Out in the field it can be tough to read anything on an LCD screen due to sun glare or sunglasses. The Seaborg’s LCD screen displays large letters/numbers and uses a dotted LCD screen to make it easier for anglers to see the display. Line input procedures are selectable in Japanese or English languages. Just let the D-Vec letters on the start screen lead you to the exciting world of Dendoh reel fishing.
* The photo shows “Seaborg 500MJ”, but it has the same function.
* To go to the menu screen, press the MEMO switch and the PICKUP switch at the same time for 2 seconds and scroll with the power lever to go to the various setting screens.
*To prevent entanglement, it is not possible to wind up electrically when the water depth counter is 0.0.
■ MAGMAX MOTOR
The strength of Seaborg’s new custom motor is in the same class as the mighty Marine Power 3000. The power and speed are quiet and smooth, and with an output of approximately 1.3 times greater than previous motors. This is the ultimate battle machine. With all this power, the new aluminium composite housing is designed to maximise the release of heat and keep the motor cool, ensuring that the power is available all the time. This monster has a tough heart inside, to challenge any fierce battle in the sea.

■ ATD (Automatic Drag System)
ATD gives you the power and poise to take control of whatever crosses your angling path. ATD is a combination of seven large carbon washers and improved drag grease. The new grease exhibits a low viscosity at rest, yet becomes more viscous immediately after drag startup. This reduces initial drag start-up inertia. When combined with the structural changes to the ATD Drag washers, results in a smoother stronger drag from the initial hook up, allowing you to concentrate on the fight. This tough drag function will adjust according to the pulling of fish.

■ MAGMIGHT structure
A structure that maximizes the power of the motor by making full use of the limited space inside the electric reel. Achieves Hi power Hi speed in a small space. In addition, the cooling effect of the motor has been improved, contributing to further improvement of the motor driving efficiency.
■ FF structure
By placing the motor, which should be called the engine of the electric reel, in front of the spool, the reel is designed to have a low profile, and the front motor structure makes it easy to hold and use the reel. In addition, a level wind is placed between the motor and the spool to enable a more compact design.
■ Belt drive
By transmitting power from the motor to the spool via a belt rather than a gear, it is quiet, lightweight, and highly efficient.
■ SYNCHRO LEVEL WIND
A mechanism that interlocks the left and right reciprocating motion of the level wind (line guide) according to the spool rotation when the device is dropped and when it is hoisted. Maintains a clean bobbin state and realizes a smooth gimmick drop. In addition, the drawer of the drag is smooth.
Other functions and specification details
| function | Feature |
|---|---|
| ■ One-push ON clutch | You can easily put the clutch in the hand holding the rod. A mechanism that can quickly remove diligent tuna in combination with a one-hand clutch. |
| ■ Aluminum die-cast body | Body material with high rigidity and little deformation. Firmly receives the drive section including the MAGMAX motor and supports powerful fights. |
| ■ Infinite | Eliminates rattling of the handle when winding by hand, realizing a firm and smooth winding feeling like a hand-wound reel. You can more comfortably operate when inviting or taking in a little. |
| ■ Ultra spool free | High-speed drop performance realized by separating the gear of the spool and the motor part to eliminate resistance to the rotation of the spool. Especially effective in squid fishing and Fukase fishing. |
| ■ Constant speed winding mode | Always hoisting at the set speed (ON), hoisting speed is automatically controlled according to the pull of the fish (OFF) |
| ■Electric slow winding | A function that allows “slow winding”, which is said to be an effective technique for various target fish. For the electric winding speed adjustment, set the speed from low speed to slow. |
| ■ Display correction function | A function that can be easily corrected during actual fishing when the counter display deviates from the thread color. |
| ■ Counter from top/bottom | Since the water depth can be measured from both the top and the bottom, accurate fishing is possible in any situation and fishing. |
| ■ Short winding / shortstop switch | A short winding that winds at the set speed just by pressing the switch when removing tana or thread dander. Set to both by mode selection. |
| ■ Master Shakuri / Shakuri Switch | A convenient function that invites you to the electric reel. The width, waiting time, and range of the jerking pattern can be freely selected. |
| ■ Fukase mode | Dedicated system convenient for hook fishing, such as Atari Alarm, Hook Click, and Fishing Tana Memory. |
| ■ Komasetaimu & Komasetimer winding | You can set the time from when you put in a device to when you retrieve it, and you can make accurate returns. With the timer display function, you can accurately grasp the time to put the device in. |
| ■ Hoisting speed actual value display | Function to display the actual winding speed. Useful as a guideline for speed when winding. |
| ■ Selectable boat stop | A function that automatically stops winding when the set length is reached during electric winding. If you set it to a length that is convenient for taking in, you can double the return efficiency and help prevent entanglement, which is the main cause of rod damage. |
| ■ Slow boat stop | A function that prevents disassembly due to impact by stopping slowly when the electric hoisting stops at the ship’s side. |
| ■ Yarn feed mechanism | A function that assists the rotation of the spool that ejects the thread by rotating the motor gear in reverse when the device is dropped. In combination with Ultra Spool Free, it is effective for fishing where you want to drop the device as soon as possible. |
| ■ Washable | It can be washed with water using a neutral detergent (however, washing by submerging it in water and hot water is strictly prohibited). |
| ■Alarm ON/OFF | ON / OFF switching of alarm switch sound is possible. |
| ■ Memory backup function | A backup function that memorizes the contents set in the mode for the next fishing trip. |
■Spool-free adjustment dial to prevent falling off
