Quick take

Electric deep drop reel that assists retrieval of heavy sinkers and bait from the depths with power assist.

The Daiwa Tanacom 1000 is a power-assist electric reel made for deep drop fishing, where a motor does the work of bringing heavy sinkers up from the depths. It runs on a 12 to 16.8 volt system and still lets you fight fish on the handle. A line counter with depth memory, automatic stop and jigging modes, and a variable-speed power lever suit anglers who fish deep water.
