The Banax Kaigen 1000
Electric Reel
Banax
combine their finest components and features with precision
manufacturing technology.
It
provides strong cranking power by an eletric motor and adjust accurate
depth bay digital control.
What makes the Banax electric reels so
much better than traditional electrics?
First of all, they are Electric
or Manual so no need to worry about blown fuses or dead batteries when
you have
the big one on. They are much
lighter, faster, quieter, smarter, and in many cases just as strong or
stronger.
They also have a line counter,
level-wind, and auto-stop features. These reels make a great day of
fishing that
much better. No more hand
cranking to check your bait.
Are
the reels Electric or Manual?
Our
reels are electric, manual, or both. They can be strictly electric by
using the Speed Adjustable Accelerator
Lever,
strictly manual by using the handcrank, or both by using the Speed
Adjustable Accelerator Lever &
handcrank simultaneously. The
handcrank remains stationary in electric mode unless you choose to
turn it.
Does
the Banax have an Auto-Stop feature?
Yes,
and it's great. This prevents pulling your swivel or kite through the
eye of your rod. Just engage the speed
adjustable
accelerator lever and walk away.
What
power source can I use?
The
reels are 12V (DC) like most other electric reels. A 12V battery is
your best choice, however we use 12V
(400
amp) portable jump starters and they last an entire day of fishing
with to 2 people using it.
What kind of power cord comes
with reels?
The Banax come with 9ft (nine
foot) power cords with alligator clips.
Who
is Banax?
"Banax"
(as it is now known) was originally founded as a joint venture with
Daiwa-Japan in 1973 and separated
from
Daiwa-Japan in 1986. It merged with LG Int'l Corp. in July of 1992
and re-branded itself Bando Sports Ltd.
in August of 1992. The "Banax"
brand was created in 1997 and the company later changed it's name to
Banax
Co., LTD in 2002. Banax's
baitcasting reels have long been a favorite of bass fishermen.

Note. The Japanese use a
numbering system called “gouw” that they used to size silk thread by its
diameter many years ago. They
transferred that same sizing
system to monofilament and now braided line.
PE is an abbreviation for Poly
Ethylene which is what braided Dyneema or Spectra is made from. A simple
way of determining PE
ratings is to simply multiply
the PE number x 10 to get LB strenght. e.g. PE5 = 50lb approx.
