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.

REALLY!!!!!!
November 16, 2017
So i just got my new avet reel in the mail. The packing was done by a 2 year old. The hardwear was loose in the box with nothing to protect the reel during shipping leading to scarches on the face of my brandnew 300.00 reel along with some barring noise thats not supposed to be there (may work its self out). Im a customer of tackle direct have been for a few months and have spent close to 1000.00 in the past 2 months. Everything i have orderd has been well packaged and deliverd quickly. I will be ordering my next 3 avets from avet. I gave the reel a 3 star rateing i give tackle direct a 4 star rateing and no stars to who ever packed my reel they need to be fired.

Merchant Response:That is how Avet reels leave the factory. Also, Avet does not sell reels directly.
Pros
  • Love avets
  • Solid built
  • Killer drag
Cons
  • Packing was very poor
  • Reel was scarched up during shipping
  • Making barring noise

Great Option

Avet puts out some really good gear it is awesome that they still produce a more classic rendition of their conventional line. This is not a raptor but for the money it is a great deal especially when you don’t need the extra drag. The only downside is that the leaver drag is kinda mushy and imprecise compared to the plate versions.
Pros
  • Price, aesthetics, line capacity
Cons
  • Anemic drag, imprecise lever drag

Great reel
October 19, 2021
Great reel, great power, holds enough line to lose rigs in 85 ft of water and not worry about re-stringing it! I use it for strippers, sea bass, trigger and flounder. Got a 7 pound flounder this summer! No issues. Best part, MADE IN AMERICA!!!
Pros
  • Holds plenty of line, 60 pound braid you set the drag almost to the max!
Cons
  • Back lash, have to use thumb to move the line side to side when reeling.

Best conventional

Avet is where it’s at with conventional reels. I own 8 avets some are 12 years old and work the same as the day I bought them. Super easy to maintain and have smooth powerful drags. Wouldn’t even consider a different reel for trolling. I spool the lx’s with 500yd of 65pound pp with about a 75yd 40lb mono top shot. Can’t ask for more from a reel this size.

Very solid strong and reliable and made in the usa.Have not tried the magnetic anti backlash yet but it sounds great if it works
Pros
  • Smooth solid performance, looks great.
Cons
  • The newer model g2 has sealed bearings so for 35 bucks more it should last even longer.

Absolutely fantastic reels

Was always a Penn guy but i switched over to an Avet after trying a friend of mines new one. These reels have great drag power behind them and will catch fish bigger than what they are rated for.
