DAIWA TANACOM 1200 / SALTIST BENT BUTT COMBO

DAIWA TANACOM 1200

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.

Saltist SJ56 B/B Rod Specifications:

Heading wide to chase game fish or deep dropping for bottom fish can be incredibly challenging and rewarding. It is the ultimate endurance test for heavy-duty tackle. 

Year on year, both trailer boat gamefishing and the use of electric reels have been increasing in popularity. Now, the large overhead reels used for these applications have found a reliable and affordable partner in the Saltist Bent Butt rod. Daiwa’s new Saltist Bent Butt was born through the want to create a durable price conscious rod that looked the piece. An attractive black and silver cosmetic combines with an absolutely bulletproof blank, resulting in a stunning rod that will get the job done time and time again. An integrated solid tip provides the rod with a tip section that is sensitive enough to feel the lightest touches from the deep and effectively roll a circle hook to provide a reliable hook up. It also has the perfect action to keep lures swimming nicely even in adverse weather conditions. 

While the composite construction allows the blank to smoothly transition into an incredibly powerful bottom section that provides confidence during the hook set, and affords anglers immense low-end power to lift big fish from the depths.
