Banax GT5000, WHAT!!, a line roller bearing!!!!!!!
Submitted by Albee Mangles on Fri, 2008-12-05 18:25
I finally found a replacement bearing for the bushed line roller on this reel. It's funny, one of there other reels has a bearing in it's roller exactly the right size!!
As its a well built reel, this boost the number of bearings to 5, and makes it even further bulletproof!!
As i am using this for heavy spin work of the yak, i also got an extra spool, so one has 50Lb braid, and the other 30Lb mono.
Line roller assembly, lots of steel there, NO PLASTIC!!!
Roller, existing bush, replacement bearing.
All assembled.

Its another Banax reel,
The si7000. Or sx7000, maybe Honsu can confirm. Either way, Honsu at Oceanside Tackle and Marine can hook you up with the part, retail about $10.
I've had this apart once to lube, and its solid. Sure there not as smooth as a stella, or top of the range Daiwa, but there a S*** load cheaper!
