    First trip with the Kraken off Block Is. RI was a success! No issues whatsoever with drag, retrieve, operations. VERY QUIET motor with plenty of power. Ease of operation was spot on with the manual. This reel was tested with double hits of large Sea Bass using 40lb braid,12oz lead in 70ft. I plan to take it offshore for Sea Bass, Porgy and others 80mi out. If anyone is thinking about this reel, it is indeed a economical option to the Tanacom 500. Flexible inshore or nearshore E-Reel.

    @curtisjeffries9812 Год назад

    This reel finally arrived and its everything Scott has said it was. Its smaller than the Tanacom 750 and alot closer in size and capability to the Tanacom 500. Very lightweight as well. I managed to wind 543yds of 40lb Hercules 8 strand braid on it which is almost spot on by spec. I did spool some 20lb but because the reel itself has counter settings that are tuned to 40, 50, 60, 70lb sized braid, the ultimate length of line was off by quite a bit so, It appears 40lb is as light as you should go with this. If the Tanacom 500 is a bit too pricey, then the Kraken is a worthy and cost effective alternative.

      @redwood1957 Nope, it runs great. RAn out the battery on the last deep drop trip but it was the last 100' of the last drop and it had gone all day on more than it's limit of blue line tile from 350' and then 3 goldens and a bunch of rosies. Get the combo and an extra cheap 12v 5AH or so lipo off amazon as a back up for really long days. I just got in another to add another rig. Here's the combo: shrsl.com/44uxl

      @TlMiller-hw6pm We like the trevala jigging rods. MH action with a 30-80 or so line rating.
      We love the Kraken Reels! Just got our 2nd one as a combo. That little 5000k battery lasts all day on deep drop trips from 300-900'. We have many videos on the @scottnra YT channel using them and can't say enough good things about Piscifun. Plus the combo comes with everything you need including the charger for the battery!

    @raybly6613 8 месяцев назад

    so what about fit and finish? I'm thinking about tanacom 750 and price isn't a big factor either way. I do like the fact they come is left hand. if you had a choice which would you chose money not being a factor?

    • @scottnra
      @scottnra  8 месяцев назад

      @raybly6613 I don't think I can honestly answer that questions having never run the Tanacom 750. I have heard of one bearing failure on a Piscifun and they that person got sent a whole new reel. I would think that anyone that can service one can service the other. I like that Piscifun also sells the batteries and can't wait for the 10,000mah ones to be back in stock. I will say that the Tanacom 1000s and 1200s I've unused have much easier to figure out line counters.

    What rod you think i could pair this with for deep dropping in the 500-800 range

    • @scottnra
      @scottnra  Год назад

      @shaunalon1074 I kiek the Tanacom Dendoh rods. They have a good flex but plenty of power. Having flex so the rod doesn't unload during the fight help you not shake off fish. If you ant to also jig with it, the Tanacom like this one shown is hard to beat. I'll have video of that in action coming very soon!

    • @scottnra
      @scottnra  Год назад +1

      @user-qu3ze8nv8d I don't know of nay application where you would want an electric reel in FRESH water so being as how this reel is designed for salt like all the other electrics out there, I'm pretty confident in the seals. We are going to give it a good run for the money on durability this year (when the dang wind quits in the Deepwater areas that is) So far it looks like a very smooth and durable reel and works great.

The good news is ether way it stops before the swivel gets to you rod tip in plenty of time to hand crank the last few yards. Thanks for the sugestion!
