Mark, I know you're not a tinkerer with reels but if you get a chance buy a spool bearing kit for any Avet reel of yours and give it a whirl. I bought a Boca Bearing ceramic kit for my MXL and my basic soccer field casting test has me gaining nearly 25% in casting distance. No need to replace all the bearings, I think it's useless to buy all 6, but the spool bearings do make a difference. I added a brake bearing also but only because the brake bearing on mine had seen better days. For $40 or so, if I can get a jig to fish before some other guys it's well worth it to me.
@CharkBaitUSA4 жыл бұрын
Been there done that on my MXL Raptor, and yes the benefits are there though the dividend is not great for me. I have learned many ways to screw up an otherwise good cast... Avet took care of me on that upgrade after I'd hammered the reel, or rather a large bluefin hammered the reel - she felt pretty squirrely after a 4 + hour fight and fail with pulled hook.The folks at Avet wanted to try out the ceramics, I was their guinea pig. I've not gone that route on my JX's. No doubt they'd benefit, but I'm also not convinced the ceramics will last as long as a very good stainless steel bearing, but I'm just a plunker and not that critical over the benefits provided thru upgrade. Others certainly can benefit more than I from that upgrade. These days I'm really not so competitive at the rail, 209 years ago, perhaps a different tale. If I were doing more "combat fishing" aboard a 1/2 or 3/4 day boat, no doubt I'd have a different perspective. But, I tend to ride the large long range boats, extended trips or private boat. In either of those situations, I'm not fishing in a competitive way, I pick my shots, catch a few fish and enjoy watching and learning from others. On our LR trips, I'm usually in the background taking pics and picking my shots for opportunities. I get the opportunity to fish, on the water for 30 days or so each year, so just a little luck can result in a plugged freezer for the year, and wife has me on a leash about how much to keep.

@@CharkBaitUSA same reel I've just put them in the MXL Raptor. Happens to be my favorite Avet and probably second favorite reel next to the Makaira 10ii. I haven't really had any issues with spool bearings on my Avets. I have replaced a few brake bearings and pinion bearings over time but overall I haven't seen the Avet bearing issue you read about online. I think people are just negligent and fish 65lb line on an SX and have the drag ramped up to where the reel barely spins. Even on my own boat I'll be casting at surfacing fish along with ten other boats many times so the extra distance is a factor. Not a big factor, but enough to convince myself it's worth $40! If my wife knew how much I spend on fishing, I'd be very lonely at night but im very lucky in that she's a chef so I could bring in all the fish I want although I don't keep a ton of fish. Enough for sure, but I'm not like some guys I see that have 4 freezers for fish and haven't made a dent on fish they caught a couple years ago. All the best.

@@jeffsmith825 - I bought my first MK10 after being spanked by that bluefin mentioned in my earlier post. That gave me the lower gear I wanted to turn the heads of fish and keep 'em coming my way. The MXL Raptor gets more casting duty, jigs, bait, iron. The MK10 for when things get more serious at 50# and 60, my MXL Rapt. and JX's at 40#. You are absolutely right about bearing failure, typically it's the fisherman's fault for trying to fish more drag than the reel was designed to do...thus a crunched bearing.

@@CharkBaitUSA the MK10, to me, is the best reel I've ever fished. I was in the Bahamas last year and caught a 142lb yellowfin pitching live bait on the MK10. The next day used it to troll for wahoo. I have even caught 80+lb Amberjack on it. Stopping a big AJ before it gets into the rocks is a tough ask and the MK10 performed flawlessly. It's just a beautiful piece. Not my casting reel but it's damned versatile. I've gone to the Accurate ATD 30's for heavy trolling, but I feel like I could catch anything that swims on the MK10. We are on the same page.

Hi Mark, awesome videos, I just wanted to share something interesting I found out with a buddy of mine who land based shark fishes as well. I was testing the drag on my avet LX with a properly calibrated scale and I found that, even with the preset nowhere near locked down, pushing 21lbs at strike, and 30lbs at full with perfect free spool too, I had it attached to a rod but the preset could easily be clicked down 10 more turns and we already well exceeded the drag ratings no problem. my friend has an 80w and said if he cranks the preset up he pushes 100lbs easily, I thought he was joking but I tested it out for my self on my LX and damn, they really do put out at least 60% more drag than there rated... by any chance have you or your customers noticed this as well?
@CharkBaitUSA3 жыл бұрын
Yeikes talk about a late reply... Yes, Avet reels can produce more drag than manufacturer states BUT one should not exceed their numbers. You're moving the spool across a plane, go too far and right side spool bearing can be damaged. Do not exceed mfg parameters for best long term performance. Those that do go beyond the limit will pay a service price replacing bearings.

Can you use the magnetic cast knob to also alter clicker tension in free spool once your bait is already in the water? For instance, if I'm fishing for fish that are spooked once they feel the tension/drag of that clicker when it's on. I believe you can do this with the Okuma Andros with their cast knob but I'm wondering if you can do it on the Avet reels, and in the particular the SX MC 5.3 model.

The right model will depend upon the line test you wish to run. Line test determines how much drag is necessary, total line capacity needed. So, without more info I really can't offer much help. But, if it's your intent to run say leader tests of 50-60#, common for the trolling side of things and practical for other uses, then I'd lean towards the HX 5/2 or perhaps LX Raptor. If it's 40-50#, then a G2 LX can cover you.

hello CharkBait i recently bought a Proteus conventional boat rod prtb80xhf 8' 30-60 mono (70-120) braid well wanted to ask which avet reel would you recommend i pair this rod to thank you .
@CharkBaitUSA4 жыл бұрын
Toss out the braid rating and focus on the mono rating for the rod. With a 30-60, you're looking at a rod that will probably best load up at 40-50# (line test indicating appropriate drag setting - most important point since that determines the bend under load). So, with that as backup, I'd strongly lean towards the JX - prefer the 2 speed, The LX and HX can work for you, too. Remember, it's all about the drag setting as a function of the line test. Set the drag up properly so everything works in your favor.

@raleighthomas30794 жыл бұрын
nmigliore that is NOT a spool tension knob, it is the pre-set drag adjustment. That is how you adjust the drag RANGE of the lever. IN Freespool ( lever back ) you adjust the knob more or less, the use the lever and push it up to ‘strike’ position, and check the drag with a scale. If you want more or less poundage, go to freespool with the lever, turn the pre-set, and back to strike with the lever. Check with scale. Same thing with max drag position. The strike and full positions are not independent though. Set for one position, the other is what it is. Hope that helps.

I’m running 50# braid maybe 80# fluorocarbon because it has less stretch then mono but strong then braid. If I’m fishing braid I’m fishing a 50# mono or fluorocarbon top shot.. so which one should I pick?

@@kobi1125 So, you'll need a reel capable of fishing 50# line (that's the lightest on the reel) so having a drag capable of pulling 15 lbs of drag measured at strike is where you should be (and best to have more than that available). So, a G2 JX can cover you well, with a Raptor version even better, the MXL or MXJ Raptors can also cover from a drag standpoint. The low gear on the JX will have more pulling power, it's 4:1 on the MX and 3:1 on the JX. If the fish are say under 50 lbs, the low gear ratio not so critical. But, if the fish are larger, no doubt dropping down in gearing is beneficial. Next consideration, depth. If under say 300 ft, line capacity won't be an issue either way. I'm leaning towards the MXJ or JX - both the narrower versions within the MX and JX/LX series.

So which reel is roughly the size of shimano toruim 20hg?
@CharkBaitUSA8 жыл бұрын
I do not support shimano products, so I cant be too exact about physical size, but line capacity specs similar to a JX.

It won't work unless you get the narrow reel foot. The stock foot on the SX/MX series will not work on the Nomad rods with triangular shaped reel seat. We do stock the narrow foot.

@@caseycoffey1 Sorry for my oversight... The SXJ does come with the narrow foot - no clamp supplied for the J model. So, you are good to go. For a Raptor version, the foot would need to be downgraded to the narrow foot (no reel clamp).

Avet are normal reel with lower drag then Accurate. So don't expect a miracle from it. you just get what you paid for.
@marksmith44528 жыл бұрын
More than a normal reel, and more than a normal value given their performance and construction materials - note MACHINED ALUMINUM, not cast or a composite, excellent freespool for great casting, etc. Yes, Accurate's do have higher drag, and now they also have longer warranty life and factory servicing during that period, and yes you do pay more and get more - but it's subjective. No getting around the fact that Avet reels are excellent pieces. Now if you take Raptor verses Accurate, we have a more even playing field - apples to apples and a more interesting comparison to make.
@marksmith44527 жыл бұрын
Some models have more, some less, depends upon what is being compared. Taking a standard first generation reel compared to Accurate, well we're looking at half the price...or less for the Avet. Now, if we go Raptor as the comparing piece to Accurate, then the Avet offers more drag capability, magnetic cast control, etc.

A 50 is a 50, it’s the other unique sizes which don’t follow an industry standard which leave folks confused typically. SX, MX, HX, LX: those models warrant the focus more than 30/50/80… But your point is well taken and perhaps a revision on order.

@@danmadgett1513 solid/hollow it makes no difference in terms of diameter or “drag.” Hollow has several benefits as line tests increase. Knot diameter drops, allows for hollow to hollow splicing, capable of spliced loop for fishing wind-on leaders, allows for in-line knot less connection of leader to braid for 100% test connection vs a knot connection which by definition losses test… many advantages of hollow core but subjective whether those benefits are justified.
