Fin6 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) As the title suggests I am interested to talk about deep drop electric reel fishing. I would be particularly interested to hear from anyone that has used the banax kaigan 1000 and a Daiwa Tanacom 1000. I am looking to get two electric reel set ups for deep dropping for blue eye. So far I have worked out that there is not much difference between a tanacom bull 1000 and a tanacom 1000 except for the colour and the jigging function so I am trying to work out any major differences between a banax and a Daiwa with out having to buy one of each and find out the hard way. I have had a play with the Daiwa and noticed it is made in Japan, not sure about the banax? When I have seen the Banax side by side I did think that the banax looked a bit bigger but that's about it.

Fin6 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Thanks what brand/lb braid line did you put on it and how much line did you get on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoB Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 G'day I've got a miah epoch x8hp and it's great. It has the jigging function but we haven't had any success with jigging so far. But it's a great reel and had no problems pulling up a double header of blue eye. Cheers Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin6 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Yep I saw the miya epoch they look like a robust but of kit but out of my price range as I am after two not one. Also I am going to try them on a stand up broom stick to start with so will be holding the rods rather than sticking them in the rod holders Has anyone had any issues with the swivel top tips jamming the braid? I have heard one bloke complain about that...my thoughts were if you made sure it was a good quality aftco swivel tip and didn't try and set the hook by jerking the rod it might not cause the jam up? Also I am wondering if anyone has experience with the deep drop bent butt rods is a shorter 5'6 rod preferable to a 6'6 rod assuming sinker weight is around a kg?

Fin6 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 I understand the new Tanacom is a composite frame material doe any one know if the Tanacom bull is aluminium like the banax? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin6 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 I would get into the local so I can pick them all up and compare but I am laid up with a bad back unfortunately. So your help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin6 Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 In case anyone else is interested I found out that the composite material used are the same for the tanacom and the tanacom bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
