MEGA POWER, MEGA SPEED
Mega power & mega speed to target higher-grade targets
■ MAGMAX MOTOR
The strength of Seaborg’s new custom motor is in the same class as the mighty Marine Power 3000. The power and speed are quiet and smooth, and with an output of approximately 1.3 times greater than previous motors. This is the ultimate battle machine. With all this power, the new aluminium composite housing is designed to maximise the release of heat and keep the motor cool, ensuring that the power is available all the time. This monster has a tough heart inside, to challenge any fierce battle in the sea.
■ Magmite structure & FF structure
Magmite structure that maximizes the power of the motor by making full use of the limited space inside the electric reel. Maximum power and speed up in a small space. In addition, the cooling effect of the motor is improved, contributing to further motor drive efficiency. By placing the motor in front of the spool, the reel is designed to have a low profile, and the FF structure makes it easy to hold and use. In addition, a level wind is placed between the motor and the spool to achieve further compactness.
■ MEGATWIN-PRO
Daiwa’s original Seaborg Megatwin reel design utilises a two-gear ratio system. The new Seaborg employs a totally redesigned system that allows the user to immediately switch between mega-power mode and mega-speed mode by simply touching a button. During retrieve or when battling a monster the new speed function switches smoothly and effortlessly. With this functionality, an angler can alternate to the best speed, depending on the situation.
■ ATD (Automatic Drag System)
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.
USABILITY TECHNOLOGY
A monster machine that achieves even more comfortable operation and high durability
■Jog Power Lever
The new Seaborg Jog Power Lever system is designed for standup fishing techniques. With the standing fight concept in mind, the Jog Lever will allow an immediate response to wind the line. When standing with the rod/reel outfit in your right hand the lever can be controlled with your left thumb. Alternatively when using your left hand to hold the outfit, pinching the lever with your right hand will allow you to control the machine easily. This easy to use function will allow you to continuously lead the fight against your target.
■ Aluminum JOG
The aluminum JOG has an excellent finger grip and allows delicate operation and intuitive waking even with wet fingertips.
■Comfortable
One-handed operation JOG system You can turn the clutch from OFF to ON and JOG winding with your left thumb. The power lever operation that picks up and winds with the right thumb and index finger is effective even when wearing gloves in cold climates.
・Operate the JOG lever with your left thumb
・Pinch with your right thumb/index finger to operate the power lever
■FALL BRAKE DIAL
“Fall brake dial” that can instantly set the falling speed of the device. The large aluminum dial allows delicate operation even with wet fingertips.
In drop fishing, stable drop control improves the attachment of bait during the fall, and in surume squid fishing, it catches the touch of squid that reacts in the middle layer.
Can be adjusted from MIN (free) to MAX in about half a turn (2 pairs of dial guide stickers are included, including spares)
■MAGSEALED BALL BEARING
Daiwa’s ultimate technology – Magsealed Ball Bearing prevents water and dust intrusion inside the ball bearing which greatly reduces reel corrosion and noise. Applied to the spool shaft surrounding, a place where salt and dust intrusion is most likely to happen and maintenance is difficult. This will improve the long-term durability and the smoothness.
■ Dot Screen Display
Out in the field it can be tough to read anything on an LCD screen due to sun glare or sunglasses. The Seaborg’s LCD screen displays large letters/numbers and uses a dotted LCD screen to make it easier for anglers to see the display. Line input procedures are selectable in Japanese or English languages. Just let the D-Vec letters on the start screen lead you to the exciting world of Dendoh reel fishing.
* On the menu screen, the large button that makes it easy to press PiCKUP and MEMO at the same time for 2 seconds further supports comfortable operation.
*In order to prevent entanglement, it is not possible to wind up electrically when the water depth counter is 0.0.

Other functions and specifications
Function/Specifications | Feature |
---|---|
Aluminum die-cast body | The aluminum body material, which has high rigidity and little deformation, firmly supports the drive section including the motor, supporting a powerful fight. |
Ultra spool free | High-speed drop performance realized by separating the gear of the spool and the motor part to eliminate resistance to the rotation of the spool. |
Number of CRBBs/Total number of BBs | 6/13 |
Constant speed winding mode | A convenient function that automatically adjusts the hoisting speed according to changes in the load on the reel and always hoists at a set constant speed to prevent breakage. |
Electric slow winding | A function that allows “slow winding”, which is said to be an effective technique for various target fish. Of the electric winding speed adjustment, set the speed at low speed to slow. |
Display correction function | A function that can be easily corrected during actual fishing when the counter display deviates from the thread color. |
Drop prevention spool-free adjustment dial | A spool-free adjustment dial with a structure that does not fall off even if it loosens before you notice it. |
Counter from top/bottom | Since the water depth can be measured from both the top and the bottom, accurate fishing is possible in any situation and fishing. |
Short winding/stop switch | A short winding function that winds up at the set speed just by pressing the switch when removing tana or thread dander. Choi stop switch is also used. |
Jerking/ jerking switch |
A convenient function that invites you to the electric reel. You can freely set the width, waiting time, and range of jerking, so you can capture as you wish. |

<Precautions when inputting> The magmite structure is a structure that strengthens the motor output and improves the heat dissipation effect of the motor. As a result, please note the following points if you continue to wind for a longer time than usual, such as when inputting.
1: Set the jog power lever to MAX in the speed range and input.
2: Please note that the frame tends to get hot when inputting the thread.
3: For safety, wrap the frame (motor part) with a wet towel, etc., and be careful of heat.
