The walls of the right and left cases and components interconnecting these walls are formed of a single material into an integral, one-piece unit. This KALUA segment below features detailed images with technical specifications covering all the 8 different models produced (Ladd, B. A baitcasting reel includes right and left cases constituting a reel body, and a level wind mechanism and a rotatable member disposed between walls of the right and left cases. 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. He has also made appearances on 'Record Breakers', the 'Big Breakfast' and has been a guest on Sky TV's 'Tight Lines'.In 1949 the KALUA revolving drum multiplier was created in Sydney by Manly Casting & Surf Angling Club member George Philip. He also has over 10 DVD titles on sale now.

Hywel has presented programmes on fishing for Discovery Realtime, Horse and Country TV, Welsh TV channel S4C for a few years.
Hywel is now the game tackle consultant for Daiwa Sports LTD developing products for the British and European Market. Individually he has been one of the most successful competitors from all the home countries, gaining results in silver, 4th, 7th and 10th places. The other six were at World Championships, where he captained the Welsh team to a silver medal in Ireland in 1995 and was a member of the silver medal winning team at England 2000. Six times were at home internationals, where he was Top Rod on three occasions. He has represented Wales on twelve occasions (and has been captain for his country three times). Having been successful in the casting scene, Hywel decided to return to fishing.

Clean and straight handle with free spinning grips. He then turned to the British Casting Association and started to compete at British, European and World casting championships. Its fast and smooth with a quick level wind gliding side to side easily. and all this before he was sixteen years old. As a result he was asked not to compete any more so that others could have a chance of winning. He started at local country fairs, then progressed to the CLA Game Fair where for three successive years he won every event. Having grown up in his father's shadow, Hywel decided to make a name for himself and started competing in casting competitions. Since then he has fished extensively throughout the UK, Europe, Australia and in the USA. He first wet a line at just two and a half years of age and spent his early years fishing the Rivers Teifi and Ystwyth for wild brown trout and sea trout. Hywel is the son of Welsh fishing guru Moc Morgan and perhaps unsurprisingly he was introduced to the pleasures of fishing at an exceptionally early age.
