[@robberlin2230]

Tom Slater, one of the nicest blokes, good on you for representing Australia on the biggest stage in the world

[@tomslater574]

Thanks for the kind words Rob!

[@lazymarlinsportfishing9672]

Jamie do you think it could be used for high speed trolling in the Bahamas? Burned the motor up on the previous model trying

[@fishbluewater]

I have not personally fished with this reel yet so I could not say for sure but I think if you were not super hard on it and not doing a lot of reeling against the drag with the motor it would probably handle it okay

[@naturalmystics-kd9vt]

Do the tanacom reel come in left hand model ?

[@fishbluewater]

Good question. Not sure. Try checking with your local tackle shop or check the daiwa website

[@heshamaboubakr181]

Can it handle sword fish up to 150kgs?

[@HaiNguyen-el8db]

Couldn't find any option for jigging features in manual for this reel at all.

[@fishbluewater]

Probably because it was not intended for that. It’s a a big reel for jigging

[@213viliamu]

What's the recommended line in that bad boy? Was thinking of getting the 1000, until I seen this..maybe I should wait..

[@213viliamu]

Or I should say what's the capacity of line

[@fishbluewater]

Not sure on line capacity but it will definitely hold a good amount of 65 to 80 lb braid

[@213viliamu]

@@fishbluewater thx for the reply..still debating🤙

[@besearchingforwisdom6267]

Is the speed adjustable on that 1200?

[@fishbluewater]

Yes it is

[@falcosparverius1]

It would be a good reel for Pacific bluefin tuna fishing at night with a knife or flat fall jig which can be physically brutal. 🎣

[@Overlandout1234]

I bought 2 Tanacom 1200 for deep Yellow fin tuna,Ahi, will let you know how she performs

[@fishbluewater]

Sounds great!

[@fishbluewater]

Sounds good!

[@coastal_addiction]

Well how’s it working out?

[@magicfishingcharters2968]

Can it handle giant bluefin

[@fishbluewater]

Negative

[@robertsheets8405]

Do you think it’s beefed up enough for the occasional daytime sword trip, Maybe 3-4 times a year?

[@fishbluewater]

Would consider it for a bouy rod when daytime swording but you’d probably be pushing the limits with like capacity to use it as a the primary rod when fishing deeper particularly if the current is strong

Poor man version of Daiwa Marine Power 3000 😅
