As a famous tire add goes ... " Speed without control, means Nothing" !!! This little Daiwa is super smooth and fast spinning, but without cast control and with the left flange of the spool, moving into the frame on freespool, it can be "a bit much" for most anglers to cast ... even more so...

I grew up with multipliers since a very young age, and "cut my proverbial fishing teeth", on the little Penn 155/85/Seaboy class of reels, before my dad allowed me a go, with his heavy, brown American fiberglass rod and Penn 49 reel. Once I could cast that heavy old rig quit well, I started...

The Banax Legend 50, is proving to be a great heavy edibles/med shark reel and provides great value ! As I didn't have a sample on the bench, when the first request for a MAG-IT system for one, came around, I asked about and Johan Barnard of George, had a sample available. I asked him to check...

Some guys like to operate "undercover" and have their reels fitted with the "invisible" MAG-IT, to gain casti g advantage over their mates ! Once found out though, they all join in and now every one of my evenings, nights and weekends, look like this !!! The kits in the background, went to...
