DAIWA 26 Seaborg 500J

Developed with the keywords "lighter, tougher, and more comfortable," this new 500-size electric reel
features a lightweight design of 750g and a newly shaped aluminum JOG power lever with superior grip, making one-handed operation even more effortless.
At its heart is a highly durable, high-output MAGMAX-G motor (3-year/300km warranty).
With power, speed, and durability all in one, it's tough enough to handle even the biggest fish and is also suitable for electric jigging.
Furthermore, it can be linked with a remote JOG (sold separately). Comfortable remote operation while the rod is in a holder not only increases convenience but also doubles the enjoyment of fishing.
Easy settings can also be made via smartphone using DAIWA CONNECTED electric mobile settings. It is suitable
for targeting various fish throughout the seasons, including drop shotting, offshore squid, live bait fishing, mid-depth fishing, and jigging.

A design that combines lightweight construction with aesthetic appeal
Weighing 750g, it's approximately 9% lighter than the 19 SEABORG 500JP (820g) and approximately 23% lighter than the 20 SEABORG 500MJ (980g). Its refined, flowing form fits comfortably in the hand, and its screwless appearance evokes a baitcasting reel. The high-quality, lustrous silver finish adds a touch of luxury and status, a testament to the future of the Seaborg series.

Newly shaped aluminum JOG power lever
The angle and shape of the groove have been meticulously designed to allow for lighter and more agile jog operation with the left thumb on the handle. This ensures that the finger movement does not slip along the groove, allowing for precise operation. Made of aluminum, it offers excellent grip performance, and even with wet fingers, it allows for comfortable and smooth winding operation, enabling intuitive hook setting and speed control. Winding with the right hand is done using the power lever. In standing or rod-rest situations, it can be operated with either hand, giving the fish no leeway.

MAGMAX-G Motor (3-year/300km warranty)
Featuring a special neodymium magnet, this slide brush motor offers superior responsiveness and durability. It boasts excellent instantaneous power and four times the durability of conventional MAGMAX motors.
Winding is effortless, allowing anglers to control the retrieve precisely. Its torque also makes slow winding a breeze.

Magsealed ball bearings
It is used on the spool shaft on the side plate side, which is difficult to maintain and most prone to corrosion from salt. It maintains the initial performance of spool free/winding efficiency.

Fall brake dial
A braking system that allows you to instantly set the drop speed with just your thumb. You can control everything from spool free to maximum brake within a 180-degree range with just your thumb. Not only does it prevent backlash, but it also allows you to detect bait attachments during the drop and bites from fish or squid during the fall without having to thumb the spool with your finger.

Dot LCD Counter
The menu screen announcements are clear and the various settings are easy to understand. Furthermore, it features large, highly visible text that is resistant to backlighting and easy to read in the field. Since it doesn't reel in electrically below a depth of 0.0, concerns about line entanglement are eliminated.

Three types of drag electronic sounds are selectable (can be turned OFF)
- Pattern 1: High pitch (default)
- Pattern 2: Medium pitch
- Pattern 3: Low pitch.

Depth Alarm
An alarm sounds every 10 meters during the fall (FL) and retrieve (UP). Three patterns are available for each (OFF setting is also possible)
- FL/UP1: One alarm every 10 meters
