I have 4 avets. SX for light flylining , MXJ for my jig stick, MX Raptor for my dropper loop and JX for heavy flylining. Easy to service. Proved and priced well. 3 of the 4 are 2 speed. I run a raptor for more versital fishing and trolling bigger baits or in heavy currents. Rod rating matched with the proper line rating helps you choose your reel and then setting the drag 25-33% of the line rating.
