TANACOM 800/1200
DESCRIPTION
High power electric with basic performance that can aim from mid-deep area to big game.
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 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 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 now boasting a line capacity of PE8/1000m.
Setting up the TANACOM 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. 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 is set to elevate the bar once again. Dominate the deep with TANACOM.
Spec Detail
■ Dot Screen Display
Dot LCD display to enable clear view from a large range of agles and light conditions.
■ LINE COUNTER
There’s no need to guess how much line you’ve got out anymore with Daiwa’s Line Counter letting your know exactly. Dropping your back down to the right depth has never been easier.
■ ALUMINIUM BODY
Lightweight and incredibly strong, aluminium allows strength and weightlessness to be achieved without the cost and corrosion issues of other metals.

Technologies
■ ATD
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.
■ SYNCHRO LEVEL WIND
A mechanism that lets the level wind lower in synch with the rig, the spool rotates while moving side to side during line retrieval. Line lays more evenly thus allowing it to fall more smoothly, and also enhances drag performance.

Remark
Power supply
Daiwa’s electric reel is compatible with direct current (DC) 12V. It cannot be used with non-designated power sources, such as 100V AC for home use and 24V DC for ships. In addition, the voltage of the ship’s power supply is likely to be unstable due to the generator and wiring, and the protection circuit of the reel may be activated and the rotation may stop or become intermittent. In order to fully demonstrate the performance of the reel, please use Daiwa genuine electric reel battery.
