Avet is the way to go on warranty and service they have a price per reel size and what they will do to service it vs penn service have Avets pen fathom and torque and aver is the winner surf fishing and jetty casting out baits

Hi, I was wondering if you could do a video of how to tie a weight?

Really like my C3 icepick looking to grab some ridgeback reapers

Not big enough

Excellent presentation. Thank you

Handy knot that if leaving the tag end a bit longer than normal. Can be used to stop a bait sliding down the hook.

Not sure that's a fair fight. Maybe the torque but not the fathom

What about the double SDJ knot?

Nice job Harry. Very informative.

I’ve primarily used avets so other than some jig fishing with penn senators. I love avets on the boats I’ve commercially fished on we use them as jig set ups I like to think they are premium reels for a specific type of fishing more off shore and inshore fishing for California. Though they are adaptable reels for elsewhere since they are conventional reels weather your in the gulf or Florida. I do have a bias since I’ve primarily used them and abused the hell out of them they are great and I have no complaints. Penn has always seemed like a market brand but they do have a legacy and as of late I have been looking at Penns and diawas. I do want a penn for a halibut set up since I fish a lot of halibut and other bottom fish like long cod in Alaska. I’ve handled one and I like it for the price. It seems to have good reviews and it’s in the price range I’m looking to spend for that set up I’m going with. I’d go with diawa but I don’t want to spend the saltist price.

The best demonstration for this knot...excellent...thank you for that..

That is NOT a San Diego jam. That is a cinch.

Spray painting the dropshot weights is a must at Castaic and any high pressure water. Many times I have observed the bass try and eat the dropshot weight instead of the bait.

Nice video James.

harry you rocked that tutorial !!!

Is a speed master 20 capable of being a sinker rig and knife jig setup for SoCal? If so what line would you put on it I was thinking 100 pound maxcuatro?

So much help this made my day thank you !

Clear directions. Thank you.

Not a fair comparison. Raptor is fully machined, much heavier drag, cast control, hard anodize, Made in USA, etc. Might have been better to compare Avet Raptor MC to Penn Torque. Fathom is a cheap import w/ cast aluminum

When you rewatch your videos do you focus on your voice or the music ? Bro I can’t focus on anything you say Had to cut you off early…. I hope it’s just me Otherwise it’s a tip !

I have had them both, sold my Avets and kept the Penns. The Avets just felt strange to me. Good video.

Link?

Good evening, I'm just wondering if the tuna is available to get a circle hook down without filling the wight, of the sinker on the bottom rig ? " drop shot" were booking a trip this June 3 we're rockies for the most part any advice would be highly appreciated. Great fishing to you.... from Utah

I just don’t like the new ones..bring back the black and gold

😩 promo sm

All I can think about is that this kid doesn’t have a soul. 😢

Great thanks.

"promo sm"

Use a Polomar knot... done

GAY

💰💰💰

Call it what you want, but that knot is probably older than San Diego.

I just quit using a Penn two speed am now using Avet raptor 2 speed no comparison avet so much better

Dang it...I just boought the SKB without the wheels! Love my SKB backpack and I'm looking forward to giving the new version a try.

Great explanation Thanks Not having the left hang option is a problem

W Avet, you have to get the Raptor

👍👍💪💪

Great work Harry.

Comparing a Avet Raptor he should have a Penn Torque

Personally, I think the Avet Raptor is more versatile and is in a league of its own. It functions as a casting reel and jigging reel and for light trolling. Given a scenario where you’re jigging for BFT in the Northeast and fish are blowing up 40 yards from the boat. Rather than reach for a spinning set up, I can cast the 4-5oz jig to the blow up without worry about backlash.

Made in USA Avet not china

Absolutely great tutorial. Thank you.

Damn that deck looks like a bluefin was caught!

Make sure to check out the bloopers at the end.

I wish they stayed black

Avet sucks!!! Compare the raptor to a torque!!!

I have that exact rod Steeze compile X 6'8" 4-12lb . I wouldn't think that rod would match Carolina rigging. That rods over 10 yrs old.

Fathom is cast aluminum and the paint flakes off. Avet are anodized and much harder wearing.

Just ordered one from Amazon. Want to test out the hype

Avets are great reels with major water ingress problems. Ive had several penn fathoms recently they are excellent. Both avets ive had have had bearing grind, and water ingress. I use a much shorter rod, 6' 3" for slow pitch, and 5 ' 6" for mechanical jigging
