Daiwa Tanacom Bull 1000.

[Seazar]

Hi Raiders.

My ol' man has bought himself a Daiwa Tanacon Bull. He's had issues with his elbow at 63 years of age & has resorted to this reel plus he wants to try the bottom bash at Brownes.

I'm having a hard time agreeing with him as to what kind of battery power he will need. I assume he's going to try & fight the fish electrically as well. He might try the ol' Auto-Jig.

I think the Daiwa power pac is not enough for an all dayer. I would have said a 30 amp/hour battery would be enough. I would also say that nothing but a gel cell deep cycle will manage the constant discharging.

He wants to bring a battery the siz of a keg but I won't let him. We at least agree not to use the boat batteries.

Advice & opinions are all welcome.

Cheers

Seazar
