I am going to get my avets serviced one more time and then set them aside for my tuna trips. I'm not sure if I am harder on reels than most, but all I know is that after 5 kayak trips or so with the avets, they are unusable for me. Zero free spool, super hard to crank. Avets are great reels for pulling on tuna with though. If you are meticulous with reel care, Avets might work 4 you. I am not. I do not rinse, don't even wipe them down.
Either way, both are great companies with outstanding customer service.
