The Raptor series of Avet reels are in my opinion one of the very best compact reels made in the USA money can buy. I own four and a single of every size and these reels have never failed me.!
Pros
  • Made in USA , compact, strong drag systems
Cons
  • Sometime the wait times for the reel to be made can be weeks.

What's new, g2?
June 5, 2022
I owned an sxj for years and was looking forward to a g2 with great anticipation.the original sxj was a good little reel with a perfect amount of line retrieved per crank to enable it to catch some pretty good sized fish. I've landed a lot of good sized gags while snapper fishing with it. The short comings oh the original is a rather marginal drag capacity and a suspect pinion gear. The g2 is supposed to have addressed these problems. When I spooled it up and checked the drag I was surprised to find it felt exactly like the original. Still binds at higher drag levels and makes me think it can't handle much more than the og. I set the strike at 8# and get 11.5 at full. This is right inline with 25# line, it just feels like the reel is running very close to it's redline at these numbers. The og had the same feel at these levels and couldn't handle any more. I know there are bigger reels out there for bigger loads, but I like using a small reel for various reasons and just was hoping for a bit more muscle. I thought it might be a little closer to the raptor and not closely mimicking the g2.
Kind of makes it hard to put my trust in it.
Pros
  • Smooth drag curve
Cons
  • Feels maxed out at pretty low drag setting

Perfect Fluke bucktailing Reel
April 26, 2022
I have a sxj 5.3 in Neptune’s Heart on a 7 foot Jigging World Nexus rod spooled with 15 pound Berkley X9. Absolutely the best reel(in my opinion) for this rod and style of fishing. Perfect size and weight with tons of power to handle big doormats.
Pros
  • Perfect bucktailing reel!
Cons
  • None

Great reel in small package

Just as solid as the gen 1 but with nice upgrades. Antireverse has much less back play, the glide plate is nice to have, and less binding at higher drags. Great addition to the collection.
Pros
  • Smooth and strong
Cons
  • None

Avet is everything Made in the USA should mean. My SXJ 5.3 G2 is an absolute piece of art and is so robust feeling it's amazing. I have yet to use it but I know that Avet makes great stuff and stands behind their products 100% so I know it will perform as good as it looks.

Perfect All Around Ocean Reel
December 12, 2021
There really isn't much this reel can't do. It is not too big for inshore bottom fishing for fluke, sea bass, scup nor tog. With the upgraded G2 drag it can handle pelagics including tuna. You might be lacking a bit in line capacity with the SXJ, but with the narrower diameter of braided lines and increased drag capability, there won't be many Atlantic yellowfin you can't stop with this reel. Perfect reel for fishing for striped bass with bait. No lever drag beats an Avet for ease of maintenance.
Pros
  • I specifically chose this version of the SXJ G2 reel for the NGP/No Glide Plate "feature". The glide plate goes under the drag lever and ensures positive clicks at all positions of the drag. If you plan to fish this reel with the lever in various positions other than free/strike/full, then you should ensure you get the standard G2. But if you, like me, intend to use this reel almost exclusively for bottom fishing where you are either in strike or free and want to quickly go from one to the other, the clicks on a G2 with a glide plate can get really annoying.
Cons
  • I don't think an Avet is going to win the "smoothest reel of the year award", but that's what you get with big nearly indestructible internals. Does wear in nicely.

Just about perfect

Huge fan of avet reels and the g2 hasn’t disappointed. Only downside is that avet hasn’t addressed the drag knob on the side. It’ll still just spin and spin so you have to give the line a tug to really see where you’re at. If it had a starting and stopping point that would make this reel or any avet reel perfect. Love their stuff.

Great Reel

This is the third Avet reel I own. These little reels are work horses. Great for so many types of fishing. Never had a problem with any of them and easy to service. As always Tackle Direct is the best online tackle shop.

Versatile Inshore Reel
August 14, 2021
The Avet SXJ G2 is well built, runs smoothly, and is perfectly sized for inshore fishing along the Georgia coast. I've used it mostly bottom fishing and jigging for slot red drum and puppy black drum, striped bass, and the smaller inshore sharks. The line capacity and drag are more than enough for anything I've encountered so far.
