Lever vs Star
So these were my first lever drags. I've owned many star drags. These definitely take some time to get used to.
Pro; smooth,looks awesome,tons of drag,lightweight,cast great,hold lots of braid
Con; drag is linear with cast preload, no level wind, more drag = harder to reel, need to put into cast mode if you max drag lever and need more
You definitely have to find a happy medium with the cast preload and max or even minimum drag. I find this hardest casting lighter weight with large fish (sturgeon) or heavier weight with smaller fish (striper)

Incredible Purchase!
Not much more I can say about this reel except that I love it. Primarily use this baby when I do offshore fishing for cod, seabass, Ling & she handles like a dream. The drag system is nice and smooth & with the G2 models it comes with a improved bearing system with max drag at 20lbs! This reel is just fun to use.
ProsFun to use, great drag system, can use for a number of different things.
ConsNone thus far

Awesome reel
The reel has a very nice color combination as far as aesthetics. Performed well chunking for blues, didn't have any issues what so ever. Have heard from other anglers that you can even troll with the SX series, but would probably go MXL for it, or JX depending on trolling speed. Granted the G2 drag is that of the first generation JX. Was my second avet purchsae and was happy with it.

Worth the investment
I have one of these SX5.3 G2 reels and am buying yet another one on sale. Used them for the first time on a long range trip out of San Diego and they were a total blast on big yellowtails and smallish yellowfins. Great castability and a smooth drag. I wasn't a fan of the first gen reels, but the G2 Avets have addressed most of my concerns with increased line capacity, a ratchet lever drag system that stays where you put it and increased drag capacity. Time to get another one. I am a northeast charter boat capt and these are my personal reels, plus made in the USA. Gotta love it. Use these to catch just about everything that swims in my 23' charter boat's range, including fluke, sea bass, togs, tuna, stripers, blues, small sharks and deepwater wreckfish.
ProsSmooth drag with higher max capacity on G2 models
Ratchet lever drag that stays in place where you set it
Increased line capacity
great finish on the gold model
ConsNoisy gears, but this is a minor nit

super little Avet
I lost count how many 20lb+ fish I hauled in with this little light Avet SX. The G2 drag a a dream come true and is equivalent to more expensive reels. The rubber beefy handle fit perfectly in your palm. Maintenance is as easy as rinsing with water and wiping down. Highly recommend.
ProsDrag, comfy handle

Powerful little reel
This reel is perfect for what I wanted, no regrets on my purchase. Paired it with a SHIMANO TREVALA rod. This set up is light, yet powerful for jigging and bottom live bait fishing. The castability on this reel is amazing, ive gone as low as 1oz and still casts great.
ProsSmall, yet alot of line capacity. Castability on this reel is amazingly great. Easy to use switching from star to lever drag. Very powerful drag!
ConsHave not found any yet.

Excellent reel
I have several sx and sxj reels. They are deceivingly small and compact but are strong with smooth progressive drags throughout the drag range. Plenty of braid line capacity to handle large saltwater striped bass and bluefish, particularly when fishing 3 way rigs In the strong currents and the deep waters of Long Island Sound where 12 to 16 oz weights are often needed. These reels are solid and dependable workhorses, far stronger and with much smoother drags than their competion. Finally they are made in the good old USA and any issues are just a phone call away to the AVET folks in California.
Lastly, I received excellent service from Tackle Direct with nice sale price and free shipping. Keep up the good work Tackle Direct!

DYNAMITE REEL
I love my Avet SX it is a work horse, this little reel pulls up a 3lb lead ball like its a 4oz sinker. I have much bigger reels that can't compare to this little guy. It is smooth as silk. This is my first Avet, but certainly won't be my last.

Love my Avet Sx G2
The Avet SX G2 is a great little reel that can handle any Northeast inshore species. it holds more than enough braid, has around 20 pounds of drag and is a smooth reel. the magnetic breaking system is also great for casting, especially if you are new to casting with conventional reels. The new avet's lever drag has a nice quality lever drag that feels precise and well built.
This reel is almost the
The reel looks really cool too!

It gets the job done.
Not the smoothest gearing, and the freespool is a little stiff. But for the price, it's completely worth it, which is why most folks buy Avets.
ProsSolid aluminum construction. Bang for the buck value.
ConsOn this reel the freespool was a little stiff. Noticeable, but not a 'problem'.

Great reel
I live the ratchet drag. Very easy to adjust. Considerably more line capacity than the first generation. Cool color also introduced.

I am looking for a avet for fishing for sea bass, tog, porgy, bluefish and striped bass at deepest I would be fishing in 150 ft of water with 8 oz lead should I get the sx or the sxj size.
1 Answers
I'd suggest the SX over the SXJ for your applications. The SX will give you more line capacity which will make the reel a bit more versatile for a multitude of applications.

Hi TD. I have been looking at this reel and wondering if it would be a good reel for trolling for kingfish, bottom fishing for snapper with 3-4 oz weights and fishing for sharks in the surf. Also, what rods would be a good match for those applications. Thanks
1 Answers
The G2 SX would be good bottom fishing reels. I wouldn't use this reel fishing for sharks from the surf. A rod to pair with the Avet SX G2 would be the Shimnao Trevala jigging casting rods or the Tsunami Trophy jigging casting rods. Thank you for considering TackleDirect for your fishing needs.
