Daiwa Seaborg G 1200M Electric Reels 2024

The Seaborg G1200M is the capacity reel of Daiwa's 2024 MEGATORQUE-G generation, the “Big Monster.” It swallows 1,420 yards of 65 lb braid (1,090 yards of 80 lb), which is deep-drop and daytime-swordfish territory, and pairs that spool with the same 79 lb drag and two-speed motor gearing as the standup-oriented G800MJ. When the water is measured in thousands of feet, this is the size that does it without compromise.

MEGATORQUE-G power, MEGATWIN gears

The MEGATORQUE-G motor replaced the previous 1200MJ powerplant with more torque in an aluminum, heat-shedding housing, backed by a 3-year / 300 km motor warranty. MEGATWIN is genuine two-speed gearing under power (170 m/min no-load in high, a torque-rich 60 m/min low), shifting automatically as load builds, or manually at a button. Momentary winding power is 350 lb (159 kgf).

Drag built for the long pull

ATD with nine large carbon washers (up from seven on the prior generation) and an aluminum drag radiator that carries heat off the stack: 79 lb (36 kg) max, smooth from the first inch. A MAGSEALED ball bearing guards the spool shaft among 22 bearings total, and the forged-aluminum power lever gives one-thumb control of speed and clutch.

The electric brains

Auto jigging (one-, two-, three-step and random patterns), adjustable auto-stop with approach alarms, chum timer, timer and constant-speed winding, depth alarms with 10 m revision, a fishing-history log, and a big dot LCD that reads in feet or meters, nine languages, with always-on backlight and an overload-protection breaker. It pairs with Daiwa's Bluetooth REMOTE JOG (sold separately) for running the reel from a distance, handy when one angler is managing several deep lines.

Rated DC 12-24 V (usable 12-26 V). On a 24 V system it winds meaningfully faster and harder. Daiwa's Super Lithium or Tough Battery series is the recommended source; it will not run on household AC.
