Don't go anywhere near the banax reels, they're real rubbish and you'll regret not coughing up R500 more. The old entry level shimano's were rubbish (crestfires, callisto's etc) but the new chromica and the old cruxis are very good value for money reels!trust me i have both and i work in the tackle industry. Those daiwa megaforces are a nightmare if they have a twitching bar as a common manufacturing fault is that the twitchin bar often collapses and just generally stuffs up!
The chromica and cruxis retail between R900 and R1000.
Remember to match the reel to the application. For instance, a slower ratio reel (5.5 : 1 and below)makes the world of difference when fishing cranks! However, these reels are in reasonably short supply on our market and therefore they cost quite a bit more than your standard 6:1 + ratio reel. I've got the curado 200E5 (5:1 ratio) for my cranks, but that retails for R2000.
hope you take my advice!
