Daiwa Seaborg 500J Electric Reel

Deep Drop, Full Control

The Daiwa Seaborg 500J Electric Reel brings compact power to serious deep-water fishing. Unlike oversized electric reels that live in rod holders, this 500-size platform is light enough to fish comfortably in hand—so you can feel the bite, set the hook, and stay connected throughout the fight. It’s built for anglers who want electric power without giving up the hands-on experience.

Inside its compact frame, the Seaborg 500J features Daiwa’s advanced MAGMAX G brushed motor, delivering up to 166 lbs of momentary winding power for hauling fish from the depths. The intuitive JOG Power Lever allows precise thumb-controlled retrieval speed, giving you the ability to fight fish with control similar to traditional reels. A strategically placed MAGSEALED ball bearing protects critical internals from water intrusion while maintaining smooth rotation. With capacity for approximately 440 yards of 50 lb braid, it’s ready for deep snapper, grouper, tilefish, rockfish, lingcod, and halibut.
