⚡ Daiwa Tanacom S500J Electric Reel (2024 Release)
Compact Powerhouse for Deep Drop & Jigging
The new Tanacom S500J changes the game for electric reels.
This is a USA Model with USA warranty.
Smaller. Lighter. More versatile.
Built for anglers who don’t want to be locked into the rod holder, this reel brings true handheld capability to deep drop and jigging — without sacrificing power.
With 33 lbs of max drag, a refined drive system, and a compact footprint, the S500J is ideal for targeting:
🎣 Tilefish
🎣 Grouper
🎣 Halibut
🎣 Lingcod
🎣 Cod
🎣 Sand dabs
Also doubles as a light-duty kite reel when needed.
🔥 Why This Reel Stands Out
✔ Compact, Low-Profile Design
Much smaller than traditional electrics — fish it stand-up, not just from the holder
✔ 33 lbs Max Drag
Serious stopping power (+11 lbs over previous models)
✔ Variable Speed Control
Dial in your retrieve exactly how you want it
✔ 6+1 Bearing System
Smooth, consistent operation under load
✔ Rigid Aluminum Frame
No flex. Built to handle pressure
✔ User-Friendly Setup
English instructions + plug-and-play operation
✔ Heavy-Duty Power Cord Included
Reliable connection for long days on the water

💡 Palmarius Insight
