THe BANNAX LEGEND 50

[FLUKE]

Good to see that there is an affordable alternative to a Saltiga that offers more capacity than a TN30A.
It sure looks a lot stronger than a Torium.

What did the anti reverse pawl look like after a few hard pulls? Any visible imprints on it or did the Anti Reverse bearing do it's job?

They did their homework and as Old Salt will attest they "borrowed" some of the better ideas in the Trini and Tiga.

The dog pawl engages immediately and is super hard, no visible marking and on machined stainless peg, nt snapping in a hurry.

No issues with roller clutch, sealed.

All good news now if only they had come up with a better name than Banax :headb

The "FLuke" better or the new colour it could even be the SILVER FOX?? hehe

FLuke- that reel is really great! I am definatly looking to get one!! Hope it can be the silver anodised one..

The "Silver Fox FLUKE 50" But They'll have to sponsor me one if they name it after me

Got to agree the silver looks much better. It will be a while before I spend on tackle again but a 14' Special and a Banax 50 are looking like hot contenders.

I must agree- the rod and reel is the first equipment i simpy want, not need! They just felt so balanced.

Does this reel have 1 or 2 anti-reverse dogs?

 

[FLUKE]

Only one I think but as Enigma said it works fast and is strong. One is enough if it works properly, even a Tor50 only ever has 1 at a time working. the 2nd one is only effective if the engaged one fails.

Thanx Craig - only see this now.

dswart here on the forum is testing the one old salt have, and he is very impressed so far.
