I finally found an Avet reel at a local store but the storekeeper didn't know anything about them. They had a HXW on the shelf. Now that I actually saw one first hand, I want to buy one that is: HXW size. Lever drag feature. RAPTOR for higher drag. 2 Speeds. MC for aided cast control. Which model number do I need to order?
@steechluva The MC cast isn't a thing to really prevent backlash but more for casting. Lets see you cast a 1" Pilchard with a regular Avet or different brand against my Avet SX MC, you'll see the deference
Hi, I am looking to do medium to heavy jigging and some free lining. Which reel would you choose between the new Accurate DPX2 400 and an Avet Raptor JX 6/3? I am looking to pair it with a JM300. Many thanks, Ken
Had to pause the video and go to my bedroom to check out my reel. Bought it guessing 12 years ago to go to Baja. Yes its in my bedroom on the night stand in a camo fuzzy bag. PRO EX 4/02....If I remember right it has 80 braid topped with 65 pound mono. or maybe the other way around. Fished (1) day and weather came in. Went back this last May 2018. Used the guides equipment first day. Had a great day. Day 2 used my reel his rod. Just flipping out live sardines and my reel, bird nested. I am not a pro fisherman. what might I be doing wrong ? Could my line be bad only fishing once in 12 years ? Did catch large Amber Jack, before guide put me back on his gear. 3 days, 165#s of fillet, tuna, amber jack, red snapper, trigger fish, 1 pargo,1 sierra, and 1 grouper. Maybe this reel should not be cast . just let out the line. Any old videos for a really old guy.?
you call me stupid, brand new reel was like 475 at the time and this brand new used reel which i got for a great deal because the person that sold it to me didnt like right handed reesl, the reel was in top condition. Now you be smart about what you trying to say to others.
They are exactly the same on the inside so moving up to an MXL would only be for line capacity. If the SX is the size you want, you might want to bump up to the G2, which would up the drag to 20 lbs. www.jandh.com/avet-g2-sx-lever-drag-reels.html
Kyle Storozynsky it was kind of funny.. LOL I dont think it was meant to be insulting. Hey us Jersey guys we go a few of our own... have you ever heard the SOUTH jersey Folks I'm gouuuuuaaaiinnngg fishing oannn a boooooouuuuattttt LMAO
Depends on what you are fishing for. That reel combos up with either rod perfectly.
Thanks for the kind words!
That is true of all reels.
just got an Avet sx raptor for $325 on craiglists, beats paying almost $500 after tax, also i have a MXL mc too. sweet reels
The MXL would work just fine if you are using braid.
Either rod would work. If you are using more lead, then use the MH.
It depends on what type of fishing you are doing and where. What two reels are you comparing?
660 of 65 lb braid.

Depends on your budget. Do you want a single or 2 speed reel?

Single speed. Avet LX.
Also, is it true that the Avet Raptor reels (esp. JX 6/3) experience back play?
Thanks again.
They are both really nice reels. The Raptor is going to hold more line. Does the 40 meet your capacity needs?
ok thanks
It's $200. Shipping would be $50.
@jandhtackle which one for kingfish to tarpon to snook
What do you recommend for live bait fishing
thank you very much and how would i be able to oreder it if i am in singapore
What do you mean size?
you call me stupid, brand new reel was like 475 at the time and this brand new used reel which i got for a great deal because the person that sold it to me didnt like right handed reesl, the reel was in top condition. Now you be smart about what you trying to say to others.
I’m from Greece and need to order one avet part you know a store?
whats the line capacity of the LX?
Yes we do. jandh.com/avet-lx-left-handed-lever-drag-reels.html
300 of 40 lb.
What size avet would be best for big drum and stripers
MXL.
jandhtackle max drag? 20 lbs too much or should I go with max drag 14 lbs
Do you guys ship to germany ?
Hi I'm looking at two different rods a g loomis pro blue or a st.croix avid inshore which has a better blank and guides.
Both are great rods. I prefer the St Croix.
I'm thinging about buying an SX and matching it with a shimano trevala do you thing the meidium or medium heavy anction would be better for the reel
Wich one i could use for Wells Catfish (Siluro Glaniss)?
Love the gold model dose it come in a single speed model looking for a 20to30 size thanks
Cual es el mejor carrete avet en este momento para pescar en costa, que sea de lance
Depende del tamaño que quieras y de la cantidad de línea. SX o MXL con MC
What size avet do you think would be perfect for live bait for snookfishing
I just bought a boat and wanted to get these reels. But I'm not sure which one should I get
Fun thing about owning a boat is you need a variety of reels to choose from! The Mxl is a great start
Hi whats the price for the MC cast 5.3 and what will be the total cost of shipping it all the way to singapore (that is if it is possible)
would the sx work against big jacks, bull redfish, and tarpon or should I move to the Mx?
They are exactly the same on the inside so moving up to an MXL would only be for line capacity. If the SX is the size you want, you might want to bump up to the G2, which would up the drag to 20 lbs. www.jandh.com/avet-g2-sx-lever-drag-reels.html
When will you guys be getting the new G2 series and when can we pre-order?
Reels will be in stock in December. I am working on putting them up on the site now. Will take a few days and I still need pics.
Ok. thanks
what size is the
mx cast
I like my avet i just dont like the process in getting parts its months.
Do you have left handed lx?
What size would be good to surf cast and fit about 240-300 yards of 40# with decent drag around the 200-300 dollar range
MXL G2 5.8 MC
@@jandhtackle thank you!
listen to what jim says at 02:28. (Tuner)
So you posted to comment on how he said the word tuna? Really? On a video that is 4 years old? Really?
Yeah
Yes. Yes. Yes. And yes
Is this josh?
Kyle Storozynsky it was kind of funny.. LOL
I dont think it was meant to be insulting.
Hey us Jersey guys we go a few of our own...
have you ever heard the SOUTH jersey Folks
I'm gouuuuuaaaiinnngg fishing oannn a boooooouuuuattttt
LMAO
huh?
Would the 6.0 gear ratio on the lx make a difference when using more drag?
Would that black reel size be good to surf cast? I also couldn't catch the name of the reel or size
MXL G2 5.8 MC
whichever is cheaper
What is Avet reel for surfcasting ?
What would you recomend for trophy Stivers but still big enough for mahi, billfish,tuna ect
You've got a wide range of fish there. An MXL Raptor loaded with Max Cuatro would be the smallest I would go.
hi j and h when i store my avet do i have to back off the drag or simply put the reel in free spool. thank you
What is the best for snook g
Is the T. Rex quad good
Anything by avet is good
what would be the best reel for big striped bass but can also be used for flukeing
Accurate BV-300. www.jandh.com/accurate-boss-valiant-bv-300-lever-drag-reels.html

Do theh make the lx in a lefty mc?
Yes.
@@jandhtackle do you carry it?
tuner?
I don't understand your question.
instead of tuna he said tuner
Kyle Storozynsky Yes you can catch tuna with Avet Reels.
Just wana point out he said tuner... thats all
Yes he did. That's part of our beloved Long Island accent. Removing "Rs" from where they belong and adding them where they don't.
it will be mostly for bottem fishing
Through our web site jandh.com
what's the mono capacity for the LX?
@jandhtackle which one for kingfish to tarpon to snook
