__matt__ 0 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Dad’s birthday Thursday and after him shelling out for a boat I reckon sacrificing a couple nights on the piss to get him something decent is in order.Torn between the Avet sx and a Saltist 20.It will pretty well just be used for bottom bashing with 30lb braid and go on a custom built saber.Leaning toward the avet, but it will mean he won’t get it on the day.Advice appreciatedCheers, Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
macka17 0 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Hi.I've had the Avet sx and an MXL.Also got Saltiga 20\40. and 2 x 30SaltistPersonally I'd go the Saltist. Unless the Avet have improved.You crank on the drag. the whole reel binds.Which is why I unloaded mine.Some love 'em.but not me.and for bottom Bashing\Jigging.You're better off with star over lever.Or. Save up a bit more and buy a Saltiga\Accurate. O\Seas.For near the same price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1ONMEPILLIE 0 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Yeah i'd probably go the Saltist to for the same reason Macka stated, much easier using a star drag for that purpose over a lever drag Quote Link to post Share on other sites
