Someone here in Vancouver is selling a brand new antique Daiwa Sealine 600 for peanuts would that I had a use for it and the patience to source parts when it finally needs some.
I know those who own these reels say they were some of the Best Daiwa ever made.

is it jigmaster-sized? hard to tell. no, must be the size of a 6/0 senator!
What type of fishing line is on that reel? Strength? Thank you for any information.

Looks like Gudebrod Dacron. The line of choice in that era and still a good option for trolling.
I have two Daiwa-Seiko 900, not 900 H, they are nice strong reels I think the rods & rings are SS, with baker light plates, yes the 6/0 is the same size as the Penn 6/0, I have never seen a yellow reel like that, should be really nice, cheers Don.
That's the old sealine. I think @rothmar was looking at doing something with one of them but not sure where it ended up. I had one briefly for a look, the one thing about them was they had straight cut gears and the dog post could be swapped, meaning they could be a true left or right handed reel.
Cheers,
Andrew
