freddyboy 5 Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 just after some opinion on avet reels ,,dose any one use them here and are they any good ? i believe there a yanky brand ,,, any feed back would be good on any of there sizes cheers freddyboy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Thahn Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Freddy I have used all the single speed models the sx, mx and lx. I have fished heavy braid through the lx and performed floorlessly. I currently use light mono on the mx and lx and they have silky smoth drags. The reels themselves are not as smooth as your daiwa and shimanos but are 10 times stronger and easier to pull apart. If you do get one just be careful around water adn rain as i found them quite sensative to the wetness. I have been told that they have fixed the problem by putting some sealed bearings in them. All in all i would get another and probably am in the next few weeks and that will be another sx model the smallest in the range.PS the japenese use them for jigging as they have awesome line retrievel rates .

freddyboy 5 Posted August 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 thanks thahn,,,some useful info there mate ,,did you get yours in australia?im thinking more in line of ordering one from america through ebay probelly cheaper this way ??? ,,plus im thinking some thing in the line of pro exw 2 speed mainly used for kingfishing in whyalla,,,maybe a overkill but i reacon it would be strong enough to stop one in its tracks , ,and for the price i dont think any thing else in australia would come close ,,, cheers freddyboy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Thahn Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Freddy your right with the price rediculously cheap over there. I am by no means a supporter of buying os but hard not to with the rates the way they are and the suppliers do not pass on the discounts just pocket them for themselves thus cutting them selves out the market. I personally dont think you will need a 2 speed as there is a lot more mucking around the LX would be fine heaps of drag there but the 2 speed models have some seroius drags. I would sugest you check out the golieth challenge on youtube they have the big 2speeds fishing at there max on massive 700lb groper and still getting smoked Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thunda Chucka 0 Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Fredyboy I have an SX model and love it. I have modified it a little to get a lighter drag setting. The ratchet on those reels sound aswome on a run too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
