Gladiator Tackle has been working with Banax and tackle stores across the country to design a heavy-duty spin reel tailor-made for Australian conditions. What has evolved from that process is the Banax Kingpin 5000, a reel with more grunt than the 2009 Summernats that looks good enough to consider taking out for dinner.

Here's what the Kingpin has to offer:

STOPPING POWER 

• 15kg of drag
• six-part water resistant drag system made up of three carbontex and three alloy washers
• Ultra-lock (instant) anti-reverse backlash system

INTERNALS 

• machine cut brass gear and forged brass main gear 
• brass pinion and stainless steel main shaft 
• six shielded stainless steel ball bearings (3 x NMB and 3 x SUS bearings)

EXTERNALS 

• full power metal body, rotor and spool 
• titanium lipped spool 
• machine-cut line slider 
• comfortable aluminium machine-cut handle and knob

SPECS 

• weight: 480g 
• line capacity: PE6 (.40mm) / 340m, PE8 (.47mm) / 270m, PE10 (.52mm) / 200m
• gear ratio: 4.7:1

The Kingpin 5000 also comes with a five year warranty which covers all parts including bearings to provide that extra guarantee that this is one reel which won't let you down.
