The new Diawa Tanacom 1200 is what we recently purchased to replace our older Tanacom 1000's.

The new reels offer 1100 yds of 80 lb. braid, 30% faster retrieval from previous model, and 20% more power. Diawa also moved the motor and gearing inside the spool itself. Hard to beat for $799.

I would recommend either Bo's Custom Rods in Denham, or Connely Rods in Palm Beach, FL

We just use the banax with rod combo from frigate sales for most stuff. Grouper, snapper, tiles..works great and they’re local and pretty easy to deal with if it needs to get worked on.

Fun fact they’re also great for black fin lol. We regularly put a diamond jig on it with blinky light at night under rig. Let it free spool down til it stops falling and slam it full speed. We call it the bait maker

Wouldn’t recommend for swords though. Nearly burned one up catching a 70lb pup.

If using for swordfish LP is the way to go.
