Advice needed

Commercial stocks a Banax Xtreme GT 3000 for R900 odd. Any feedback? Any suggestions on a grinder for 3-4 ounce rock/ surf fishing in the same price range?

It will be interesting to see. My son bought one last week but had to return to Afghan before he could test it. I can not test it now cause I'm in Sudan soooooo.. feedbacks would be great!

cant comment on that reel heatseeker... but I would imagine that an ultegra 5500 would fit that size class nicely?

"Machine cut brass pinion & forged brass gear".
This Korean reel could be more durable reel then Ultegra which has aluminum main gear. Also Ultegra is more expensive.
I have used my Ultegra 12000 Ci14 twice at sea and have already serious wear on main gear - it is too soft. Disappointing for price I paid for it.

It would be best to just feel this Korean reel first , before you buy it.

Where do you buy it - Ebay or where else ?

P.S. This reel is tempting me to bring one , had pretty good review at Alans website

Can get a Shimano Spheros SP5000FB for R890.  Any feedback on the reel?
