Delivery & Shipping

Do you offer free shipping?

We offer free domestic shipping on most orders over $150 subtotal. This excludes oversized and bulky items such as rods, blanks, gaffs, some tackle boxes, lobster nets, landing nets and other large items. Any 1 piece rod over 7'10" in length often incurs the biggest oversize fees charged by domestic shipping companies although we do have lower rates via other carriers on the West Coast. Any additional shipping fees will be automatically calculated at checkout before any billing is done.

What countries do you ship to?

We currently ship products within the US and to almost every country in the world, covering all available destination via UPS and DHL. International shipping times depend on the products and destination. Shipping rates are automatically calculated at checkout, for most countries we also collect Duties and Taxes and prepay them so you do not have to deal with the carrier or customs.

How long will it take to get my order?

Standard shipping can take 3-8 business days depending on location and order volume. If you have requested spooling on your reel or rigging on your lures then it could take an additional day or two. Next day & 2 day shipping is available on most domestic orders (for an additional charge). Orders placed after 12pm Pacific Standard Time will be processed the next business day.

What carriers do you ship with?

We work with UPS, FedEx, US Postal Service, GLS and DHL. When your order qualifies for free shipping or has a rod that qualifies for discounted shipping we reserve the right to choose which carrier it is sent with, otherwise you can pick the service you want. UPS Ground ranges from 1 to 7 day delivery, USPS Priority Mail is typically 1-3 days but is not a guaranteed express service, and USPS Ground Advantage takes roughly 3-7 business days. Longer rods are generally sent via GLS unless otherwise specified, this service ranges from 1 - 10 days.

Prop 65 Warning ⚠

The Tanacom S300J shrinks Daiwa's power-assist family down to a reel you can palm — and it erases the worst part of deep-water fishing, the long grind back up. The motor retrieves at over 600 feet per minute, and at 540 g (about 19 oz) the reel is light enough to fish hand-held all day instead of living in a rod holder. On our SoCal deep drops that means rockfish, reds, and lingcod without the sore arm the next morning; it covers snapper, grouper, and halibut duty just as well.

Power under your thumb

The compact BRITZ motor sits ahead of the spool — Daiwa's FF construction — keeping the profile low and comfortable in the hand, while the MAGMIGHT structure wrings maximum torque out of the small housing, so slow lifts under load stay smooth. Control runs through the JOG POWER LEVER: winding speed and clutch on/off under one thumb, so you feather the throttle and actually fight the fish the way you would on conventional gear, with your other hand on the rod.

Drag, gears, and the drop

The UTD drag puts out up to 28.7 lb (13 kg) and starts smooth, without the sticky initial hit that pops light leaders, while Infinite Anti-Reverse keeps the handle solid on the hookset. On the way down, the fall-brake dial sets drop speed across a 180° range — slow the fall so a bait swims naturally or a mid-column squid gets a look, and you'll catch bites on the sink you'd never feel otherwise. Cranked by hand, the 5.1:1 gearing picks up 70 cm (27.5") per turn on 12 ball bearings plus a roller, through a 72.5 mm handle arm with an EVA round knob.

The electric brains

Built-in auto jigging runs one-, two-, or three-step lift patterns — or a random mix of them — at the press of the PICKUP button, with the JOG lever setting the working speed, so the reel jigs while you watch the rod tip. An adjustable auto-stop winds the rig up and halts it short of the surface, with approach beeps on the way; fixed-speed winding, a timer and chum timer, fukase (bite-alarm) mode, and a line-release assist round out the menu. And if load or temperature ever spikes, an overload-protection breaker pauses the motor before any damage is done.

A counter you can read

The large dot-LCD counter reads depth in feet or meters, in any of nine display languages, and its backlight stays lit whenever the reel is powered — legible against deck glare, gray-light mornings, and night drops alike.

Like every electric reel it wants a dedicated battery: it runs on DC 12–16.8V — Daiwa's Super Lithium or Tough Battery series is the recommended source, and it will not run on household AC or 24V boat power.

Electric reel power & care basics

Power. Electric reels run on DC battery power only — never household AC, and never a 24V boat system unless the reel is rated for it (this reel's rating is in the spec table). A dedicated, waterproof reel battery — Daiwa's Super Lithium or Tough Battery series, or a marine deep-cycle — beats running off the boat, whose voltage swings can trip the reel's protection circuit mid-fight. Use only a lithium pack the maker specifies for your model.

If it slows down or stops: it's usually the battery, not the reel. Below about 10V the reel restricts its winding power, and an overload breaker pauses winding for a few seconds under an excessive load or heat spike, then resumes. A cord connected with reversed +/- polarity won't conduct at all.

Care. Rinse gently in cool fresh water (under 30°C/86°F) — mild dish soap and a soft sponge for grime, no solvents or stiff brushes — then dry completely, loosen the drag, and drain the handle knob before storage. Store the power cord disconnected and treat it as a consumable: Daiwa recommends a new cord every two years or roughly 60 outings. And don't open the reel up yourself — the electronics aren't user-serviceable.
