Hi there Dux is an Australian brand as far as i could track the name.

But i also found this:
1970 Fishing tackle division launched; rod, reel and cooler production commences. First range of reels is the DUX series.
This comes from the history of Shimano.

Tohn T, thanks for your post.Nicely surprised that it may well originate from a quality engineering manufacturer, as the reel is is a thing of beauty and does have a feeling of good pedigree. Will try to find a bit more about it, but I have spent a few hrs searching the net and got nowhere. Again, my thanks to you.
