Mega Power & Mega Speed: ‘AUTOMATIC MEGA MONSTER’

A mega-power, mega-speed electric reel based on the SEABORG 500MJ, featuring an aluminium JOG system, a NEW Fukase clutch system and an automatic depth-stop function. This flagship model is suitable for a wide range of targets, from bluefish such as yellowtail amberjack and yellowtail to multi-hook catches of Japanese flying squid, as well as bottom-dwelling fish in mid-depths and even the most challenging Fukase-style yellowtail amberjack fishing. At its heart lies the MAGMAX motor, which combines torque with explosive power. The motor housing incorporates aluminium components, creating a robust configuration that offers excellent heat dissipation and durability. It also features the MEGATWIN-PRO system, which allows for comfortable, shock-free switching between power and speed gears. Furthermore, the Tough Drag ATD system smoothly absorbs the powerful runs of bluefish whilst maintaining consistent drag, ensuring you can handle even unexpected Big Ones with confidence. In terms of operability, it features an aluminium JOG power lever for comfortable one-handed operation, ensuring you never lose control during winding with its instant retrieval. Furthermore, the fall brake dial allows you to instantly set the descent speed, making it excellent for detecting how bait settles on the bottom and for capturing the mid-water reactions of squid during Bottom Fishing. In terms of durability, the MAGSEALED ball bearings—featuring waterproof and durable technology—ensure that initial performance is maintained over time. Furthermore, the counter unit incorporates a large dot-matrix LCD display that remains clearly visible even when wearing polarised sunglasses. New features include the ‘NEW Fukase Clutch System’ and the ‘Automatic Depth Stop Function’. The AUTOMATIC MEGA MONSTER is designed to handle a wide range of targets throughout the year.

DAIWA Technology

JOG POWER LEVER
The power lever has been repositioned to the centre of the body, and its design has been changed from a lever to a jog dial style. This allows the angler to perform reeling and engage or disengage the clutch using just the thumb of the hand holding the Rod, completely freeing the other hand from operating the lever so that the angler can concentrate fully on handling the Rod. This flexible one-thumb operation enables precise control of the lever, allowing the angler to adjust the reeling speed at will.
MAGSEALED BALL BEARING
Using its proprietary technology, DAIWA has succeeded in becoming the first in the world to apply MAGSEALED technology to the ball bearing itself. A wall of magnetic fluid prevents water and foreign particles from entering the interior of the ball bearing, thereby significantly reducing rust, salt deposits and abnormal noises whilst maintaining the ball bearing’s inherent rotational performance.
MEGATWIN
The MEGATWIN system, which has realised a long-standing goal for electric reels, is a mechanism unique to DAIWA electric reels that allows the user to switch between two gear ratios to adjust power and speed. By enabling the user to switch between MEGA-POWER and MEGA-SPEED, it is possible to change modes at the touch of a button, whether retrieving a Rig or fighting a Big One.
MAGMAX MOTOR
The MAGMAX MOTOR is a custom motor designed exclusively for DAIWA electric reels. The ‘special neodymium magnets’, which form the core of the motor system, are ideal for generating sufficiently high torque even at low speeds under light loads, combining toughness with power. As well as accommodating delicate power adjustments such as ‘slow reeling’ and ‘gentle stops at the Gunwale’, this responsive brush motor also excels in burst power.
ATD
The ATD operates smoothly in response to the fish’s pull and maintains a consistent drag. Designed to minimise slippage and ensure excellent tracking, it allows you to concentrate on the fight without having to worry about drag settings.

Other Features

MAGMIGHT Structure
A design that makes full use of the limited space inside the electric reel to maximise the motor’s power. It delivers high power and high speed within a compact space. Furthermore, it improves motor cooling, which in turn contributes to even greater motor drive efficiency.

Basic Operating Procedures
Aluminium JOG Power Lever
<COMFORTABLE one-handed operation>
1. Operate the JOG lever with your left thumb
2. Operate the power lever by gripping it between your right thumb and index finger
*Don’t let your opponent gain the upper hand with split-second manoeuvres.
<aluminium JOG>
It offers excellent grip, allowing for intuitive hook-setting with precise control, even when your fingertips are wet from seawater or bait.
MAGMAX Motor
・A custom motor that has undergone power tuning, just like the 19SB500MJ.
・The motor housing incorporates aluminium components, providing excellent heat dissipation; as a result, it dissipates heat from the motor, thereby enhancing durability (endurance)
・High circuit breaker trip range.
MEGATWIN-PRO
・Smooth gear changes with minimal shift shock when switching between SPEED and POWER gears
*The system is manual, allowing the angler to switch between modes (SPEED: prioritises casting frequency / POWER: prioritises winding power)
*Please note that the colour of the IC counter’s LED does not change when switching to Mega Twin mode.
*The LED lights up when the clutch is ON (green) or OFF (red).
Fall Brake Dial
・A braking system that allows the descent speed of the Rig to be set instantly using a dial.
*Adjustment from MIN to MAX (*labels 1–10) is possible over an angle of approximately 180 degrees.
 Not only does this prevent Backlash, but by maintaining a steady descent speed, it also improves the bait’s appeal when fishing with a Bottom Fishing rig and allows you to detect the slightest nibble from a squid as it descends.
*Included items: Includes a guide sticker
Dot-matrix LCD
・The on-screen prompts are clear, and you don’t need a manual to adjust the various settings.
 *Menu screen: Press and hold ‘PICKUP’ and ‘MEMO’ simultaneously for 2 seconds
・Large text that is easy to read in the field, with excellent visibility even in backlight conditions.
 *The display remains clear even when wearing polarised sunglasses. (Improved visibility compared to conventional LCDs)
・Displays D-Vec when the power is switched on.
Rod clamp
・Aluminium rod clamp (included)
*Can be fitted to diameters ranging from Φ16 to Φ28

Fukase Mode
・Equipped with a clutch sensor; when set to free-spool mode, the clutch engages automatically upon detecting spool rotation. Its instantaneous operation helps prevent Backlash.
・You can choose from four different ‘Ataria alarm tones’ and four different ‘Fukase click tones’.
 Even if you have four rods out on the same FUNE, you can tell which is which by the sound.
Automatic Shelf Stop
・Equipped with a clutch sensor; when the automatic shelf stop function is set, the clutch engages automatically at the specified shelf or at the seabed.
⇒ Faster casting, better catches
*Automatic operation also allows you to fish whilst steering the boat
<memo: Shelf Suspension>
On the shelf where a hit was recorded, press the shelf memo button at the bottom ⇒ The machine will automatically stop at the saved shelf the next time it is activated.
<SHELF Hold Request>

*The standard winding speed is the average speed at which 100 m is wound with a 1 kg load at a supply voltage of 13 V.
*The JAFS standard winding power (power range for the Mega Twin mechanism) and speed are approximate values based on the regulations of the Japan Fishing Tackle Manufacturers Association, assuming a supply voltage of 13V.
*The JAFS standard winding speed refers to the value measured at a supply voltage of 13V in accordance with the Japan Fishing Tackle Manufacturers Association standards. It is the winding speed under no-load conditions at the outer diameter of the Spool.
*The figures in brackets are approximate values based on the use of Super Lithium.
*Regarding the power supply*
This electric reel is compatible with 12V to 16.8V direct current (DC). It cannot be used with power sources outside the specified range, such as 100V alternating current (AC) from a domestic mains supply or 24V DC from boat equipment. Furthermore, due to generators and wiring, the voltage of a boat power supply can easily become unstable, which may cause the reel’s protection circuit to activate, resulting in the reel stopping or rotating intermittently. To ensure the reel performs to its full potential, please use a genuine Daiwa battery designed for electric reels (please check ‘View Details’ for compatible batteries).
