SEABORG 500MJ-ATSEABORG 500MJ-AT

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.

<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.

・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.

・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).

・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

・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.

・Aluminium rod clamp (included)
*Can be fitted to diameters ranging from Φ16 to Φ28

・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.

・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>
Select the shelf in advance on the menu screen ⇒ The machine will automatically stop at the shelf specified during loading
<automatic Stop at Bottom＞
Automatically engages the clutch upon detecting that the line has touched the bottom (Spool rotation stops)
*When used in conjunction with the Jigging setting, the Jigging action will commence automatically once the lure has come to rest on the ledge.
