The best electric reel? & how to use it (Kaigen Banax 1000)

(use code Heiko for free shipping)

To sum up this video and answer the question, is this the best electric reel? I would say that depends what you need an electric reel for. If you're deep dropping in less than 900 ft of water and don't plan on using more than a 8lb weight then I would say the Kaigen Banax 1000 is the best electric reel for deep dropping.

I also think the Banax 1000 is the best electric reel for wahoo trolling if you ever plan on wahoo trolling with an electric reel. I go high speed trolling solo sometimes and having the Kaigen Banax 1000 electric reel to help reel the fish in while I drive the boat is a huge help.

If you plan on daytime swordfishing dropping 10-12lbs of lead down 1500-1800ft then I don't think this electric reel is right for you. You will probably need to spend closer to $2000-5000 for an electric reel for swordfishing.

But if you're looking for a great priced electric fishing reel under $1000 or in this case the banax 1000 is under $700 and you don't plan on targeting 600lb swordfish down 1700ft then the Kaigen Banax 1000 is the best electric reel for you.

In this electric reel review video I will also show you how to use it. How to use an electric reel, the price, features, why I like it over other reels and where to buy the best electric reel.

Btw, the Banax 1000 is an electric fishing reel. Hopefully this has helped you in deciding on the best electric reel for deep dropping.

You remind me of John Maxwell. He's got a Harley Davidson mechanic/motorcycle gear and bikes channel and his tag line is, "I'm a highly trained unprofessional." He has the same off-hand delivery and dry humor that makes you feel like you're sitting in the shop having a brew and shooting the shit. That's the kind of thing that makes people look forward to long-form videos. The videos where you want to inform or teach something are always short. I don't know if you do that on purpose or not, but it is absolutely perfect. As a former professional video producer for television, I am impressed by your style. It is subtle and I suspect you put more research into it than one might think.

I watched the whole video and I’m not even into buying this kind of reel😂 you are good at this! Keep up the good work👍🏽

You have come so far since you started and for reference I was one of your first 300 subs when you used to be this guy who failed more often than not. Now you your abilities have increased to the point that you actually are a a person to listen too.

Thanks for the great video. I just got back from Alaska and we used the 1000 everyday. We pulled up 40-100 pound Halibut for days on end. On the biggest Halibut it struggled a bit and did get hot but it preformed like a pro. The only thing I did not like was it measured in meters instead of feet. Not sure if that can be changed or not.

My guide told me he pays around $600 for them with his guide discount. Seems like a steal even for $650. We also used the Daiwa Tanacom 1000 a few times, but everyone in our group liked the BK-1000 the best. Another thing, I was amazed at how light this reel is. I have a few Miya Epoch reels that are literally 5 times or more heavier.

Awesome video! Totally buying my hubby one for Christmas! Love to see y’all using the cups I made and sent ya !! 🤙🏼🍻

Great video, thank you for sharing... The Kaigen guys should be getting you something, I bought mine from your link.

You can't beat the Banax for quality, price and service. There other more expensive reels on the market but if you are deep dropping for snappers, tile fish, Amberjacks, they can handle them. I have 5 on my boat, won't leave home without them 🎉

[teamdilligafffishing]

Heiko you inspired me to buy the Tanacom 1000 about a year ago. I love it and have not had a single issue with it. If I decide to purchase a second electric it will most likely be a Banex 1000. I love your videos and trust your opinion. I live up in Jax and deep drop territory is about a 100 to 120 mile ride one way. I have been pulling my boat to Lantana / Boynton to deep drop. It would be wonderful if you could do a technical video on the deep drop process. Most videos dont show more than fish floating up. Thanks for you and Caitlins vids!!! Be healthy and more please.

Guys that's great but keep them up n keep them lubed up. They are good. I use commercial teals n they are bigger take up a lot space. Bandit reels but these are good. Good video Heiko.

[jerrywalden]

I own 1 and have used it for 4 years no issues so far.

I think I was the one that told you about that rod and reel combo. Frigate Sales, Great to do business with. A really nice reel. What knot did you use to connect your top shot to your main ling? I have had great success with the FG knot. I hung up on a wreck once. I pulled a 27' Gradywhite around with that combo thinking a had a large grouper on. I finally had to wrap the line around a cleat to try to break it. Well, the FG knot held. A dropper loop broke. We also caught a white marlin with this combo!

[leeshadowhunter]

[THARTT]

[georgeniebergall]

Hi Cote, just to let you know never use your thumb to guide the wind down to the bottom just simply loosen up on the drag until the weed starts flowing at a decent rate. That is the way to do it. There is a new real out the day Iowa 1000 check that one out baby is the best thing that ever hit the market and I also want to know about that real you said it was experimental with a battery screwed into the bottom of the real. Please get back to me and let me know I’ll buy a couple of them without a doubt thank you.
