LOVE this reel! Whether in warm weather fluking, Fall Sea Bassing or mid December Togging, this reel outperformed my expectations each an every time. The design and silver color is really slick. Many colors to choose from. Can't wait to purchase another one of these in near future.

Great reel!

I’ve used this reel for the last couple of years and love it. It’s even spent about an hour submerged on muddy bottom after getting knocked off the dock. Cranks super smooth and I’ve caught everything from small sea bass and fluke to medium sized shark.

Have you EVER...

Went out on a wonderful evening and Wade fished out in grass flats with an Avet SXJ 5.3?!
LET ME TELL Yuh- the 1st time I had heard that clicker goo and I mean Gooo! I knew from that point on that was going to be a reel for my personal selection. That 1st take ended up being a nice 37" Bull Red, caught off a Carolina rig. Let me explain that cast, mind you (for the moderate and experienced) this reel does not contain no worm guide as you would find on most other star drag reels and some lever drag reels.
I can cast a mile with this reel, compared to the cast of my star drag baitcaster. I've pulled many fish and I'm still currently fishing this reel. Be sure to maintain reel and rod maintenance! I'd recommend this reel. I personally enjoy fishing with this reel.

Pros
- Love the color choices!
- Love the durability!
Cons
- Too bad there wasn't a con I could think of.. ooops.
- Ohh heres one, birdsnest will occur. Once you get yours dialed in youd be casting further and fighting in no time!

Avet SXJ 5.3
December 19, 2020
I brought the Avet SXJ 5.3 Speed Lever Drag Casting Reel in Gunmetal finish. This will be my go-to reel for black sea bass and tautog.
Pros
- Machined out of lightweight aircraft aluminum makes for a light but tough reel.

Avet Reel
April 27, 2020
This is my second reel and love it. Perfect for bottom fishing or jigging. Paired with a Shimano Trevala rod.
Pros
- Lightweight and compact. I like the drag.
Cons
- Need to put friction or hockey tape on spool before putting on braid. My Penn reels have a rubber seat but no big deal, tape works fine.

Do you have left hand?
This reel.
1 Answers
We do, but not in blue camo. The left handed Avet reels are only available in sliver. The reel you would be looking for is the SXJ 5.3 L/H. (TD code AVE-0304)
