When my Daiwa Tanacom dies for good I will definitely make the switch to the Banax.  The US representative is not only a forum member but besides that, when you look at the differences it is a no brainer.

That sure is a nice fish. Way to go!

Thanks for the replys, all is well here.   The Banax is made in Korea and the programming instructions are in Korean, Sooo I have yet to be able to use the jigging function.   Any Ideas?? ???   The seller/dealer was no help.
   Its a fun toy, The cord gets in the way if you don't think first.  The drag on this reel is max at about 28 pounds, and the motor will crank about 18 or so continuously.    I,m sure its got some weak spots internally,       Butt its a fun toy! ;)

  Great fishin'! What is that bait you use? Looks like some kinda spinner...is it trolled? I know nothing about this type of fishing. I fished for flounder once...they'd catch one about the size of your fishes head and call it a door mat. :P  Was some of the finest eating fish I've had. Thanks for sharing! 8)
