Avet Single Speed Reels
Avet single speed reels include industry leading features unlike any other reel on the market. Featuring an adjustable strike pre-set lever drag system, precision machined 6061-T6 aluminum and stainless steel components, 8 rubber sealed stainless steel ball bearings, stainless steel gears and Avet's smooth, powerful Avedrag dry drag system. Avet single speed reels are at the peak of quality and performance. All Avet single speed reels are available with or without their M.C. Cast control system. (except HXW)

Avet 2-Speed Reels
Avet 2-speed reels include all of the quality features of our single speed reels, with 2-speeds. The simple, yet reliable gear shift mechanism built into the 2-speed models is so easy to operate that it becomes second nature almost immediately. The push button located at the center of the handle arm permits shifting between the high and low gears without your hand ever leaving the handle knob, and can be shifted with or without pressure, so you can shift while cranking, or when a fish is running. All Avet 2-speed lever drag casting reels (SX-HX) are available with or without their M.C. Cast control system.

Avet M.C. Cast Anti-Backlash / Cast Control
Avet's revolutionary M.C. Cast (Magic Cast) adjustable magnetic anti-backlash cast control system is available as an option on all of their single and 2-speed casting reels, SX through HX. The M.C. Cast control system incorporates Avet's Patented Adjustable Intensity Polar Amplification Technology to create the most efficient and easy to use cast control system for a conventional style reel. From the lightest bait to heavy lures, the M.C. Cast Control System is simple to use, even if you have never before cast a conventional style reel. Simply place your thumb on the spool to cast, swing, remove your thumb from the spool and let it fly! You will only need to thumb the spool when the lure hits the water.

Avet Raptor Series Reels
Avet Raptor Series Reels are the cutting edge in compact large game reels. These reels are consistently landing shockingly large fish in relation to their compact size. Designed for use with the ultra thin, super strong superbraid lines available today, it's now possible to target large game species with a reel half of the size and weight compared to a reel traditionally designed for similar monofilament line and drag capacities. And the Raptor has the drag and cranking power to back it up.

The Avet Raptor Series comes standard with Avet's innovative 2-speed gears and a ratcheting drag lever with a positive stop strike button to prevent accidental advancement past strike. Featuring Avet's patented DUAL DIRECT DRIVE Full Surface Caliper Brake System, Raptor models put out nearly twice the drag pressure of the original Avets! There's a Raptor model that will stop any fish in the ocean, yet small and light enough to cast. If you find a fish too big for a Raptor, you probably wouldn't want it near your boat! The Raptor Series reels are the same sizes as the original Avet reels, with enhanced line capacities, and each are engineered and built to fish several line classes heavier than the original Avet Reels.

Great reel!!!
August 2, 2022
Bought it for mainly for tuna the end of 2019. But because of the covid decided to take it to cabo and test it on some striped marlin. They add'd some 80 lb floro top shot and over 4 trips, 12 fishing days my wife and I have caught 17 striped marlin using live bait. The fish ranged from 110 to 175lbs. Even though this reel was smaller and lighter it was tough as nails and a blast to use. Hoping over the next couple months finally getting to test it on some tuna.

  • everything!

Powerful American-made Reel
February 5, 2022
Although this is not as smooth as a shimano talica the raptor avet has the impressive cranking power. This reel catches big blue fin tuna. I use it as a 65lb reel with about 22lbs of drag. Beautifully machined and anodized blue. The paint is durable but as you see in many photos it is prone to scratching and boat rash.
Pros
  • Powerful
  • Beautiful
  • American-made
  • Lightweight
Cons
  • Paint not strong
  • Crank is not smooth

Love our Avet Reels!!!
December 15, 2020
We purchased two Avet reels to mate with custom spiral wrapped Halibut rods. It’s a match made in heaven and we couldn’t be happier fishing for huge Alaska halibut. The “J” model stands for jigging and has a narrower profile, making for a nice compact reel that sits closer to the rod’s center line. Combined with the spiral wrapped rod, there is almost no reel wobble or side torque when reeling in a 80 lb halibut up from 150’. After several seasons our Avet reels still look and operate as good as the day we bought them.
Pros
  • Shiny,
  • Corrosion resistant,
  • Smooth operation,
  • Good drag system,
  • Shiny
Cons
  • None noted

Best jigging reel
September 12, 2020
As I began to built my offshore rod/reel arsenal I found my self wanting a reel that would work well for jigging up snapper/grouper. I got everything I was looking for in this reel. The drag is easy to adjust and smooth as fresh ash-fault. I plan to take a long range trip on the Yankee Capt and this reel with defiantly make that trip with me. Its capability to hold an seemingly endless amount of line make it ideal for the trip.

Caught a 80lb bluefin on it. Strong gears with very smooth drags. Awesome reel for offshore fishing. Can’t wait here to catch big yellowtails on yo-yo irons.

What rod would be a good match for fishing yellowfin in New Jersey?
1 Answer
Hi Fred, For your fishing application I would recommend a Ocean Tackle International FB56500A Fathom Blade 500g Acid wrapped jigging rod. https://www.tackledirect.com/ocean-tackle-international-fb56500a-fathom-blade-acid-rod.html This would be ideal for Yellowfin tuna jigging and would pair well with a Avet JX 6/3 Raptor. https://www.tackledirect.com/avet-jx-63-raptor-2-speed-lever-drag-casting-reel-silver.html Please let us know if theres anything else we can assist you with.

I have a Lamiglass "Insane Saltwater" conventional rod that is rated for 20-40 lb test mono and 1-5 oz. lures.  Would this reel match up with that rod? I plan to use it for fishing for cobia.
1 Answer
Yes, that rod would pair well with this reel.
