Daiwa - 22 Seaborg 200J

The 22 Seaborg 200J is a compact electric reel built for boat bait fishing in deeper water, where dropping and recovering rigs by hand gets old fast. It suits bottom fishing for reef and bottom species, deep baits and rigs fished well below the boat, and it handles the lifting work while you concentrate on the rod. Compared with the previous 200J, Daiwa lifted both winding power and drag, so there's more grunt on tap without a larger body. This is the right-hand wind single handle model.

• JOG Power Lever – A centre-mounted jog dial lets you control wind speed and the clutch with your thumb while keeping the other hand on the rod.
• Motor ON/OFF clutch link – Knocking the clutch out stops the motor so you can watch for bites on the drop, then it picks up at your set speed the moment the clutch goes back in.
• Dot matrix LCD counter – Large characters stay readable in backlight and through polarised lenses, and it also shows your hand-winding speed.
• Magsealed ball bearing – A magnetic oil barrier keeps water and grit out of the bearing to reduce corrosion and salt seizure.
• MAGMAX motor and ATD drag – Strong low-speed torque for slow lifts, with a drag that starts smoothly and keeps giving line as the fish runs.
• Mobile setting via the Daiwa app – Line length entry, function settings, maintenance records and name registration can be done from a phone.
• Depth alarm and electronic drag sound – Audible cues every 10 metres on the drop or wind, with three selectable drag tones or off.
