Thanks for all the advice guys... I have seen the ebay listings for the blemish reels. Ill definatley contact directly for savings if i go that route. Is charkbait legit? Their prices are real good too.
I get out for tuna 2-3 times a year on a friends boat. I fish more local than anything. Cant really afford two avet setups. I already have the torium setup, this avet would just provide me a second set up. I'd like it to be versitle and an upgrade over the torium in quality and versatility. Thanks again, I dig all if the insight. |

I wouldn't say it's an upgrade just different application. Charkbait is legit they have a storefront in OC. I have been there once on my way back from sunset oex. Great people with lots of goodies

I have an mxj raptor and love it. Also have a jx raptor and jx 6/3 and love them both. For the yak though, I prefer the mxj. And yes, charkbait is the real deal, and they also have a storefront in San Diego.

i would go with the mxj or the mxl. i have a mxl, that i can consider selling to you if you want. it black, and got 25lb test mono on it. let me know if your interested. but i would deffinitally go with the MX series its the perfect size. my favorite avet reel is the sx its perfect for everything and i can use it on light action rods. everything from making bait to geting lingcods. its casts great too so its perfect for using irons.

You already have your Torium 20, you fish offshore sometimes and you're looking for one Avet setup.
I vote for the JX6 with MC for the few extra bucks. I can't justify the extra cost for the 2-speed but if you can...go for it...certainly won't hurt you. I have the JX6 mounted on an 8' Seeker...awesome on 15#-40# fish and although I haven't tested it in the following situation I would have confidence in it offshore on much larger species. ![]() |
