The exact reel and bundle configuration is determined by the variant selected at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy an Electric Reel Combo for Drone Fishing?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you deploy baits 500–1,000 metres offshore via a fishing drone, every retrieve means recovering that entire line length — often with a substantial fish attached. Manually winding 800 metres of PE6 braid back onto a conventional reel while fighting a kingfish or large snapper is physically exhausting and slows your session dramatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn electric reel changes the game entirely. Variable-speed Power Lever control lets you dial in retrieve speed to match conditions, while the Tanacom 1200's 12 V DC motor handles the heavy lifting — leaving you fresh for the fight and able to fish multiple consecutive drone deployments without arm fatigue. Paired with the TANACOM X purpose-built blank, you get a rod designed specifically to work with a Dendoh electric reel, with action tuned for deep drops rather than a generic surf or boat rod pressed into service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTANACOM X Rod — Key Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposite graphite blank:\u003c\/strong\u003e Powerful but forgiving deep-drop action — strong enough to handle heavy sinkers and large fish, with enough tip movement to absorb violent headshakes and diving runs without breaking off\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeaguide heavy-duty stainless-steel frame guides:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built for the abrasion demands of heavy PE braid and repeated deep-water drops; stainless construction resists salt corrosion in Australian marine environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwivelling roller tip or heavy-duty fixed tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available in Daiwa's range with either option — select the roller tip to reduce line wear under sustained heavy load, or the heavy-duty fixed tip for your preferred rigging style\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePurpose-built Dendoh design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Guide spacing, reel seat and overall geometry are optimised around the specific demands of power-assisted deep-water fishing — not a converted boat or game rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTanacom 1200 Electric Reel — Technical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTANACOM 1200\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManual gear ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.1:1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLine per crank (manual)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e58.7 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBearings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2,040 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJ-Braid capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.42 mm \/ 1,000 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum drag\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegular winding power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum winding power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDC 12 V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRetrieve control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Lever (variable speed)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tanacom 1200's 1,000-metre J-Braid capacity at 0.42 mm diameter makes it ideal for drone fishing deployments into deep Australian offshore territory — whether you're targeting snapper on offshore reefs, kingfish around pinnacles, jewfish in deep gutters, or bottom species in 80–150 m of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePower Lever Control — Effortless Variable-Speed Retrieve\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tanacom 1200's Power Lever allows you to adjust retrieve speed from a complete stop to full electric winding with your thumb — without taking your hand off the reel.
