The Daiwa Tanacom 800 hits the perfect middle ground between size and strength, giving you deep-drop capability without the bulk of the 1000. With a max drag of 51.6 lbs, deep braided line capacity, and auto-retrieve at the push of a button, this reel is ideal for Alaskan anglers targeting halibut, lingcod, and sablefish in deep water. Whether you’re jigging off the Kenai coast or dropping bait in Prince William Sound, the 800 gives you plenty of power in a more compact body.
• Mid-size power: smaller than the 1000, stronger than the 500
• 51.6 lbs of max drag for hard-fighting bottom fish
• Deep spool holds up to 880 yards of 80 lb braid
• Auto-stop, programmable memory, and one-touch retrieve

The Tanacom 800 gives you nearly the power and capacity of the 1000, in a lighter, more compact reel body that’s easier to manage on small boats or long trips. It’s a perfect match for Alaskans who fish deep water often but don’t need to max out on gear size. Easy to operate, dependable in rough conditions, and powerful enough for most deep-drop species we target here.
