It's an Avet JX with MC, have had it for two seasons now (lightly used). Will check on the bearings but as mentioned already probably just need a lot more practice throwing from the yak.

i had the jx mc, and noticed that it limited my distance too, (because the mc works.....) i bought a new frame only from avet direct for about 40 bucks, only 3 screws and its swapped out. otherwise id say turn it to "1" and practice at the park like these guys suggest. dont forget to wet the line at the park

The magnet pops right out, no need for a new frame. Take it out and you will be amazed at the difference.

Avet mag cast sucks. Even at 1 it's too much and you can't turn it all the way off.

Casters that don't let out enough line from the tip to the jig before the toss can really limit their distance. Give it as much line as you can and leverage that too...
