Here's a question from America.

Last fall I fished up a Banax BMG 605 out of 60 feet of water while flounder fishing. Full of mud and covered in a light layer of coral, I cleaned it up and it works great. I have been completely unable to locate any over here in the States, no one has ever heard of them! What it was doing within sight of New York City I have no clue!. It seems to be very close to the Abu 6500, in fact I replaced a part using one from an old Abu 6.

I was wondering if any of you were familiar with them, are they any good? And is there somewhere I could order another 605 over the net?

Thank much for any input.

I haven't used a Banax baitcaster but I have owned a banax threadline for 6 or so years. Its been used heaps and still feels like new. Have read some reviews and all have been positive. The reels are imported into Aus by Top Catch and sold through Tackleworld tackle stores(amongst others I presume).Banax reels are not mentiond on their website www.tackleworld.com.au however you could email them.Banax also have a web site www.banax.com.kr where you can see the current range.

Hope this helps

Klyons,

Thanks for the link. #Unfortunately they did not reply to my email request to purchase the reel. I also tried contacting Banax but their email keeps coming back as undeliverable.

Anyone know any other places I might try???
