AVET Raptors HERE NOW!
NEW MX Series in STOCK!

We've got 'em! Finally the MXL size Raptors are available, even in Candy Apple RED!

Raptors are a more refined, and higher drag capacity series of reels from Avet. These take their whole game up one notch, providing truly big fish capable reels in compact sizes. Their machining is better, their operation better, and their drag capacity much greater than their size would suggest. There is less side load on the bearings as a result of increased drag capacity. Casting is flawless, and all models with the exception of the HX Wide Raptor come with Avet's super performing Magnetic Cast control. They are the best this innovative manufacturer produces, and they are made to outperform all other reels on the market.

Pictured right, the powerful and compact Avet JX Raptor.

Pictured above left, the JX Raptor. Drag the mouse over the image to change view. Pictured above right are three models of Raptor, the little SX, JX and the HX. All Raptors feature dual drags, magnetic cast control (with the exception of the wide), ratcheting lever, extended handle length  and extended line capacity compared to the standard models.

There is some question whether or not the MXJ Raptor will be produced. Given the increased line capacity of the SX Raptor, it is likely that the MXL will be the only piece produced in that series. This is open for discussion, but that's the latest from the Avet folks.

Made in America, and very proud of it!

HXW (wide) Raptor. The "w" model does not have cast control, also note the larger 30 size handle.


The Avet 30 Narrow and Wide  represents an upgrade of the very popular and much respected EX 4/0. The new 30 offers several enhancements which are based upon the Pro 50. There are some small differences, some operational changes, and some significant improvements. Let's go over what has changed first. The new model uses a more traditional (and loud) clicker. It does not self-disengage. The new model's lever requires you to push a button before you can ease it into the full position from strike. The weight is just a tad bid lighter than the older model. The most significant improvement advances a very impressive drag performance. The new model will provide OVER 35#'s of drag while maintaining very impressive freespool performance (the older model does 20#'s at strike w/freespool). That's right 35#'s of drag! It will button down at full to 40#'s! This is one serious reel, for serious fishermen. It's a more refined piece, both in terms of feel and finish. Like all Avet reels, this leverdrag will spin, without expensive after-market enhancement. The reel features six shielded bearings. Maintenance is easy, reliability is superior, quality of manufacture very high in terms of the machining and ultimate performance.

Given the strength and drag capability, we've had some folks opt to run these as heavy 80# rail pieces instead of 60# trollers. Certainly they'll excel at any application that makes maximum use of their freespool and braking power.

Avet 50 Series Two Speed Reels

These new reels from Avet were long awaited, and they creating quite a stir upon their introduction during the huge cow yellowfin bite a few years ago.  They're the most powerful and useful reels you're likely to encounter if you target larger gamefish. They do some things no other reel will match, and they do it without being sent off for enhancement.  They are designed for what we want to do, right out of the box!  They all spin very, very well.  They all offer six bearings, very strong drag performance, and they're all finally available! We now have a good selection of the new 50 wide and narrow and the topless 50 narrow - the San Diego Special. 

Avet first introduced these new two speed reels at the Fred Hall Long Beach show. The BIG DOG is capable of pulling 50# of drag at strike, with a full 57# at your disposal! Amazing.  The new reels are available in three colors, silver, blue and gold. Six bearings, machined aluminum, made in America, these guys are on a roll!

The 50 is a whole new game in this size gear.  It turns more drag than you need, certainly.  That means it has headroom, you're not fishing at the max.  There's no fade, no problems.  The 50W and 50N are strong reels, and like the other reels from Avet, they're well under priced for what they offer.  There's no better or more fishable 50 size reel on the market in my humble opinion.

In the fall of 2005 the long range fleet operating from San Diego found a huge school of biting yellowfin. This bite was epoch, with literally hundreds of fish over 200 pounds taken, and lots of fish over 300#! Check our Charter section to see some pictures from our own Red Rooster Charter for some proof. On our charter we had fishermen from all over the country, many of whom purchased reels from us, and many of those were Avet 50's.  The only product to have performed without a hitch were the Avet 50's. We're talking multiple fish over 200#. The big Penns and other reels of the gold variety caught fish and did well, but the freespool performance of the Avet helped the bait to swim, get noticed, and get bit. All the gear is good these days, but some is "gooder" than others. The Avet 50 is the kind.

(*Regarding Tiburon, I took one big tuna on my 30, but after the trip discovered that they had done an upgrade on the drag to handle 100# plus line. The 30 was intended as an 80# rig, I was fishing 135/150# on the reel and felt that more power would have been desired. They addressed that point, very well. Others with the modification did great with the 30 for multiple big fish. Every 30 from Tib. that we stock has the upgrade.)

Great Reel - Record Breaking Drag Performance, Unbeatable Price!
Avet's big gun 80 sets new standards for performance in a big game reel of this size. Extended line capacity verses a 50 wide is the most noticeable difference in this LARGE reel. Going after big black marlin, or for use as a kite reel targeting huge yellowfin or bluefin tuna, this is a reel that will inspire confidence and continue to perform for years and years beyond your expectation. If you are doing some deepwater swordfishing, an 80 properly rigged is a very good option for your arsenal.

 Price includes FREE SPECTRA and mono spooling, reel skin and shipping within continental USA.

- AVET PRICE REDUCTION ON THE TR-X 50 Wide and and 50 Narrow

Great Reel - Record Breaking Drag Performance, Unbelievable Price!
Avet has knocked down the pricing of their best two reels, the T-RX 50W and 50 standard (narrow). These are 100# capable stump pullers. They use two drags, on either side of the spool (but are not in conflict with Accurate's patent because of the manner in which they apply pressure). They are the only reel on the market than I am aware of that allows you to change the pre-set while the drag lever is engaged! These are Avet's best big game reels, and now they are about 25% more affordable. 50 Wide - now $749 not $999, $649 for the standard size not $899.  (Narrow available topless or with crossbar frame)

We're going to add some spice to that and include top quality Spectra from your choice of the best manufacturers, Izorline, Jerry Brown or Cortland at a very good value. Here's a dandy opportunity to own a beast, or at least tame one! Please click on the drop down menu below to view sale prices and options.

New Avet Reel Storage

Avet makes a nice pair of reel storage cases. These are a "soft" case, with adjustable storage. They include plenty of pockets to hold leader material, tools, reel clamps.... They feature some nice embroidery work, mentioning the manufacturer's name of course. The smaller case is about 14"x9"x8" with room for 6 reels up to a 30 size. The larger case is 22"x14"x12" (which is photographed below - small at right) has eight adjustable dividers capable of holding up to 8 30's or 50's. These are a quality products, and will hold your reels safely while traveling to and from a boat, or for storage at home. They are not designed for air travel and baggage check ins. For that, a hard case would be preferred...with locks.
