This KALUA segment below features detailed images with technical specifications covering all the 8 different models produced (Ladd, B. The KALUA bakelite end plates came in these colour options: Black (most common), Maroon and Brown. All up, there were 7 different KALUA models produced: The Philip made Kalua minor the Standard and a level-wind version followed by the S & S Engineering redesigned level-wind models: Superflex 850 Kalua 900 Kalua 1000 and a non-level-wind model option. ![]() Because of these design weaknesses, and the limited production of the KALUA during the 1950s, the reel today is very hard to find in a complete undamaged working order. Unfortunately the bakelite end plates were highly prone to cracking or breakage if dropped, and in a worse case scenario, the metal pillar supported-frame became distorted and/or misaligned, thus causing the level-wind mechanism to seize or jam. The KALUA internal mechanism was of a high engineering standard. ![]() ![]() It is not clear, however, if there was an arrangement with Bennett Engineering to use some KALUA parts for their GRAEME production, or if Philip and later S & S Engineering had arrangements with Bennett Engineering to use some GRAEME parts for the Kalua manufacture, or if either simply copied various components for their respective reels. Philip later sold his business to John Stevenson at S & S Engineering, who redesigned the reel and continued its manufacturing during the 1950s.Īn interesting observation regarding the KAULA is the end float nut bearing adjustment, and it is also evident that level-wind mechanisms are interchangeable with the GRAEME. In 1949 the KALUA revolving drum multiplier was created in Sydney by Manly Casting & Surf Angling Club member George Philip.
