On the contrary: California built Avet LX/HX reels are best when used with the Avet South Florida cam installed to handle the softer drag tensions used for kingfish and sailfish off florida -- Still have yet to see a rod break from high sticking since moving to Florida. While growing up in Southern California, I worked as a deckhand on headboats for 5 years and observed multiple incidents of fiberglass rods breaking from high sticking. Breaks most commonly occured while bouncing a big fish.
