Daiwa Sealine Saltwater Conventional Reel 300H
When it comes to tough-built ocean reels, nothing even comes close to Sealine. Piece by piece, there's no shortcuts, just rock-solid construction. So you don't need to add custom frames or metal side plates to make them hold up to your style of fishing. Or custom drag washers to handle record class fish. They're already built in. Built to take it, there just isn't another ocean reel worth.

SealineĀ® Features:

Comes complete, no expensive add-ons needed
Sealed stainless steel ball bearings
Machine-cut bronze and stainless steel gears
Smooth disc drag
Spool click
Hard anodized and paraffined finish
Strong aluminum spool and side plates
Rugged one-piece aluminum frame
High speed retrieve

If you can help fill in the gaps, that would be great.  Thank you.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Added some specs for the 30H and 50H

Here it is cleaned up a bit for easier reading.  Hope it works. 

Thanks go to Bryan for putting this info together.  It was just cut and paste for the spreadsheet.

So my 350h can out fish my 113h.  Gotta reset my line up.  Wasting that 350h with only 20lb string

Well, that all depends... :-\

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

JohnTuttle calls the Sealines "Japanese Senators". Alan T calls them "diamonds in the rough." If someone was to make stainless gear sleeves and gears for these reels they would be WORLD BEATERS for very little investment. They already come stock from the factory with stainless steel: setplate/bridge, dogs/pawls, ratchets. Also aluminum frame and side plates. Just a great value for the money. If I could machine parts; these are the reels I would focus on. Way back when; I too drank the Penn kool-aide, but not when it came to a 6/0 reel. I just couldnt see buying a 6/0 compared to the 600H. Soon Adam/Three Se7ens will have stainless inserts as Sal is showing in the above link for the 600H. Glad someone saw the merits of the 600H; hope more Sealine stainless parts/upgrade will come for others as well.

Coincidentally Leo, I just spent an hour looking at all my Daiwas yesterday. 

If you look at my Magforce 170 series, it is a framed, magged, 99 sized killer casting reel.  I went back to Ebay this morning to find another.  There's one there for $44.00!  A Tiburon 99 frame alone is going to cost you $69.00 plus.

If performance alone is what you are considering, you can't beat a Daiwa Sealine IMO.

If we had some Stainless parts, we'd be bullet proof a lot cheaper than going the full monty Penn route.  Maybe not as flashy, but fish can't tell the difference.

The primary "conventional" reels I'm taking on the upcoming 2015 SOA Charter will be two 600H's (100lb and 80lb), two 400H's (60lb and 50lb), one 300H (40lb), and one 30H (30lb). Every reel can double-duty and go up another weight class from what I've designated in the ( )'s.

All have been upgraded to T-bar handles and have CF washers in either 5-stack (400H and higher) or 3-stack (300H and lower) configuration.

Every one was bought used, and In terms of value, the most I paid was $60 each for the first two 600H's (have a third 600H as a backup/parts reel that was less than $39).

I have to admit, those Daiwa's are tough. I have a 900H, a 600H and a 27SH I got from Randy. I just need the ones in the middle now. ;D
Life is Good!

Rancanfish

Daron, I blame you for my recent purchase of a 900h.  I was reading one of your posts from a year ago where you said you'd hop on one at $100, and I found one for $89.  So I jumped, lol.

I'm gonna beef it all up with the parts available and then trade you for something.   :o

What are the specs on that mag force Randy

Hey Daron!

The 300H's and 400H's on eBay seem to be the harder ones to come by. The 30H's and 50H's come up a little more frequently. Pricewise, I've seen the 30H, 300H, and 400H go for more than the 600H--go figure.

Search on "Diawa" as well as "Daiwa"

If the name plate doesn't matter as much to you, this one is up:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/111675279858?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

You can call up Daiwa to see if they still have the name plates available (they are not listed on any schematic--gotta ask).

Since you've rebuilt your son's Magforce 170 (http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=11005.0), it has an all metal frame, yes?

Jason,  the version I have is the 170H so it is already 5.1 to 1.  New in the box. I've had it for a decade.

300 yds of 20lb mono capacity. 2Ball Bearing,  one of which is on the spool shaft itself.

Magged sideplate.  One piece topless aluminum frame. Stainless guts (chromed brass?), bronze gear.  Aluminum spool has a 1-3/4" wide opening.

(3) knurled screws let you pop off the drive side plate for inspection. 3 stack drag.

Has a pretty good sized counterbalanced crank arm. (24-56 Penn size)?

Loud dog operation, but I like that.  Clicker not so loud.

Feels hefty if you have average size hands like me.  Not as nice as a 506 size but a much better all round reel straight from the box.  Think I paid $35.00.

I have (2) 47H, (1) 50H, (1) 170 and (1) 250.  All in new-ish condition. I've had them all a long time.  Can you tell I'm a Daiwa fan?

If the 170 handle is the same as the 30H handle then 24-56 is slightly smaller on the rounded ends of the hole--needs a touch of filing to fit.

I'm right behind ya on the Daiwa fandom thing...the 170 may be the replacement candidate for my Penn 970...the latter seems to be gaining in value to a point where it maybe shouldn't be fished hard or at all. If the 970 was just $$$ and still in-production, then not an issue, but being $$$ AND out-of-production makes me a little wary. It was almost a Tolkien-esque quest just to find the 970 left side plates.
