I have got two Daiwa electric reels a 750 and 1000 Tanacom bull and have had no problems with either in the last 4 years. Caught plenty of Gemfish, bluenose,  and hapuka in up to 400 plus meters of water.

both shimano and daiwa make awesome electic reels i sell lots of tanacom bull 1000 reels and also the two speed seaborg mega twin reels match with a grandwave rod and you have a awesome combos a mate of mine commerial fishes with the daiwas and has no issues.....they are bullet proof

Don't what ever you do buy a Banax Kaigen. There is a fault with the line feeders and they are crap

I bought 2 Tanacom Bull 1000 reels and custom bent butt rods earlier this year and I wouldn't be with out them. They add a whole new level of humour and fun to our fishing as well as providing some of the best table fish available. We often stop while marlin fishing and grab a feed when we run over a likley looking spot. It is quick and easy and while its not sport fishing it provides for a tasty meal. I went for the Daiwas as I know someone who has fished them commercialy with no problems for years and I couldn't see any reason to pay more for the other brands. In saying that each to their own and I haven't used any others to compare but I certainly have had no reason to wish I had bought any another brand.

I upgraded all 3 of my daiwas (megatwin, bull 1000 and bull 500) when i bought them with carbontex by Ginger at Bartons. No problems at all...and i catch a few fish on em. A key thing to remember with them is that they are power assist reels, not winches. I work the rod as per normal manual winding, especially on big fish - and its still a hell of a scrap lifting decent bass up from 400m. Service from Daiwa has also been excellent.
