These are the big reels: two Daiwa Seapowers, the Seaborg 600MJ and G800MJ, and Shimano’s Beastmaster and Forcemaster 9000. They weigh 1 to 2.1 kg and cost about $885 to $1,620. The two Seapowers give 30 kg of drag for under $920 but wind slowly under load, and the G800MJ is the only one that takes a 24 V boat supply.
