If you fish deep and haul big, the Daiwa Tanacom 1200 is your new go-to. This upgraded version of the legendary Tanacom series packs more power, more torque, and more capacity—built specifically for deep drop fishing in demanding saltwater conditions. Whether you're targeting barn-door halibut, black cod, or big lingcod, this reel’s max drag of 50 lbs and larger spool gives you the stopping power and stamina you need to fish Alaska’s deep water with confidence.
• More torque and drag than the Tanacom 1000
• Extra-deep spool holds over 1,000 yards of heavy braid
• Stronger frame and gearing to handle larger leads and bigger fish
• One-touch automatic retrieve with programmable depth memory
• Easier to handle than oversized commercial electrics

It’s everything we love about the Tanacom line—simplicity, reliability, and power—just scaled up for Alaska’s most demanding deep-drop situations. Ideal for serious bottomfish hunters who want torque without the bulk of a commercial setup.
