Daiwa Seaborg 500J Electric Reel

The Daiwa Seaborg 500J brings a new level of performance to deep-water electric fishing, combining compact design with serious power. Its 500-size frame is light enough to fish comfortably in-hand, giving anglers the ability to feel subtle bites while still having the strength needed for deep-drop applications.

Powered by Daiwa’s advanced MAGMAX G brushed motor, the Seaborg 500J produces up to 166 lbs of momentary winding power, making it capable of handling heavy loads from the depths. The JOG Power Lever offers precise, thumb-controlled operation, allowing anglers to adjust retrieve speed and fight fish with control and finesse—no rod holder required.

Built for long-term durability, a strategically placed MAGSEALED ball bearing along the spool shaft helps prevent water intrusion while maintaining smooth, consistent rotation. With the capacity to hold approximately 440 yards of 50 lb braid, this reel is designed for deep-water species like snapper, tilefish, grouper, halibut, and more.

Whether fishing the Atlantic, Gulf, or Pacific, the Seaborg 500J delivers the perfect balance of lightweight handling and deep-water power for serious offshore anglers.
