The Daiwa Tanacom Boat is a short rod designed for boat fishing and, above all, for deep-water fishing with an electric reel. It features a Glatech blank, progressive action, excellent sensitivity to bites, and strong weight-holding capability on the bottom, even in currents.

Key Features

The current version available on the market is listed as 1.80 m long, in two sections, with a packed length of approximately 115 cm, a weight of around 609 g, and a casting weight range of 150 to 800 g. It is equipped with Pacific Bay guides, a Fuji SiC tip guide, a tubular screw-on reel seat with a safety ring, a solid tip, and a swivel at the butt.

The Glatech blank combines unidirectional fiberglass with spiral-wound carbon, providing a balance of flexibility, lightness, and strength.

Recommended Uses

This rod is designed for heavy offshore fishing in deep waters using an electric reel, where you need to retrieve heavy rigs and withstand strong pressure. It is well-suited for bottom fishing targeting species such as pollock, black cod, or capelin, and can also be used for heavy trolling depending on the rigs and conditions.

Its short length makes it easier to handle from a boat?especially a RIB?and more comfortable for setting the hook, controlling the line, and fighting a fish on board.

What it offers in practice

Its main appeal lies in the combination of sensitivity and power: it transmits bites well while still being able to hold a heavy weight on the bottom. The progressive action helps absorb sudden runs and jerks, which is useful when fishing deep with heavy rigs.

In practice, this is a more specialized rod than a versatile boat rod: it really comes into its own when paired with an electric reel, a strong braided line, and rigs designed for heavy weights.

User Profile

The Tanacom Boat is designed primarily for anglers who regularly fish in deep waters and want a sturdy, user-friendly boat that pairs well with Daiwa Tanacom electric reels. For traditional inshore fishing, it would be oversized; for regular deep-sea fishing, however, it is an excellent choice.
