Daiwa 26 Seaborg Electric Reel

The Daiwa 26 Seaborg Electric Reel is the all-new 2026 evolution of Daiwa's standard electric reel platform, developed under the keywords "Lighter, Tougher, More Comfortable" to deliver a compact electric reel that's genuinely comfortable to fish in-hand or from a rod holder. Whilst most electric reels are large and heavy, quickly tiring anglers and forcing them to fish from rod holders only, the 26 Seaborg keeps the frame light and compact enough to feel the bite, set the hook, and stay connected through the fight in true rod-and-reel style. Inside the compact body sits Daiwa's most advanced MAGMAX-G brushed motor, delivering an astounding 166lbs of momentary winding power for cranking big fish up from deep water with serious authority.

The newly shaped aluminium JOG Power Lever sits perfectly under the thumb, allowing anglers to activate the reel and adjust retrieval speed with a simple push to play fish in a more traditional, hands-on way rather than relying solely on preset speeds. A strategically placed MAGSEALED ball bearing along the spool shaft prevents water intrusion whilst maintaining ultra-smooth rotation, dramatically improving longevity in the harsh saltwater environment. The level wind is built to accommodate thick leader knots passing through cleanly, eliminating the snag-and-stall issues that plague lesser electric reels when running heavy leader for big fish.

This reel is purpose-built for Australian deep drop anglers targeting prized deepwater species including bar cod, flame tail snapper, ruby snapper, and more found well beyond the reach of conventional tackle. The combination of compact size, MAGMAX-G power, JOG Power Lever control, and MAGSEALED durability makes the 26 Seaborg a versatile electric reel that opens up deep drop, electric jigging, and mid-deep sea fishing without compromise.
