I bought the larger 500 because I'm disabled in both hands but was able to pull big lingcod up from 320' easy!! I love the reel. Please remember everyone who buys one of these great reels, print the English manual BEFORE you go fishing... I had to totally wing it first trip. Can't wait to buy this 300J, many thanks for the video TackleWest!!!
Hi all, just bought the G300J today. Prior to that I downloaded the English manual and found out the display can be set to English. 😃 Great video by the way 👍
easily it can handle 30 pound Ive been fishing mine for over a year on the pacific coastal waters and landed a dozen fish over 20lbs easily at light drag. I used 300yds of P4 and translates as 55lb braid, I can use any topshot I want. I believe it would serve well as any as a 30lb class reel and be capable of landing fish 40lbs plus. And the G300J is supposed to have a motor 4x as powerful. I watched a Japn video and a guy hooked and landed an 80lb YFT with that reel.
bought this one direct from Japan when it first came out, I used it exclusively for Chinook Salmon. I absolutley love it. would like to try the newer G300J
The G300J is a newer version based on the same reel however it features one huge improvement, that is a newer model motor that is claimed to be 4x more powerful than the 300J motor is and it is as the Japanese intro video describes it. “LIGHT MONSTER”. I can only imagine how much more fun the G model would be to fish. I am trying to find out how I can get my hands on just the G motor to see if it is a direct replacement or if you have to buy the G300J whole reel to get it.
Nice video…thanks for posting….may I ask if the display characters on the LCD are in English? I have a Tanacom 500 so would I see most of the same options in English on this 300J?

hey id sure like to hear about your experience with the G300J.
You’re correct
What pound line are you using and also what fish do you recommend this for? Would it be ok for tilefish and barrel fish up to 30lbs?

I use a 20lb 9-strand braid on mine for 600 feet ++ deep
For a smaller size electric reel that spooled up super quick… great vid keep ‘em coming cheers 🍻 👍🏼
Thanks 👍 It is a really fast little reel!
@@TackleWest Looks like a new rule change is about to come in 🤦♂️
As always another great video and now I want an electric reel.

What is the difference between the 300J in this video and and the g300J?

What’s the difference between the 500 JP vs 500 JS and 500 MJ?
Spec shown 14+1 BB for 300j ang 18+1 for g300j
Hello,
What does the model with a letter G mean? 300? vs G300J
G means latest version with more power….ok for blue fin tuna up to 100lb range
How abou seaborg 300MJL? Retrieve power seems like more powerful but drag less than 300J ?
And in my country 300MJL more expensive than G300JL
What is the price of this reel. Please let know, thanks

You mentioned P3 / P4. Whats that in mm.
PE3/4 is roughly 30lb to 40lb braid
I used 20lb on mine for 600ft plus deep for fast sinking..
Nice video…thanks for posting….may I ask if the display characters on the LCD are in English? I have a Tanacom 500 so would I see most of the same options in English on this 300J?

Nice video thanks
God damned I'm feeling old, I finally discovered impact drivers and now this, too bad I can't cast a knot-caster to save my life😝
You don’t cast these
😂
Will the tackle shops be organising any events against these new criminal demersal proposals ?
More will come out over the coming week but we ALL need to stand up against it
@@TackleWest yes we do. Keep us posted
