Avet

Avet is a new entrant into the sportfishing community.  They are made by a California machining company, well funded, well designed, and made to fish!  Avet shares a common heritage to Accurate, in terms of the founding firm's strengths in machining.  Avet's primary business has been machining precise components for the medical and fiber optic field. The firm's owners, two brothers, are avid fishermen with their own boat (often parked in their plant when not running over to the channel islands).  They've been making reels now for four years, and they've done a very good job.  Each new series of reels from Avet has filled a real need, and done so uniquely in terms of their approach and the strength of their offering.  The reels these folks are producing are of high quality, well machined, and they cast superbly.  Their drags are well designed, long lived, and offer high settings while maintaining excellent freespool throughout their range of operation.  In terms of price verses performance and quality, I think you'll agree with me that Avet's fishing reels are exceptionally good values.

The reels produced by Avet have already taken some impressive catches.  They've taken marlin, big tuna, and a whole bunch of other fish from coast to coast, and internationally.  The picture, and fish, above were taken in Panama May '03 by Avet's co-owner Harry.  The yellowfin tuna weighed in at 335#, and was caught on an EX. The accomplishments of these jewels of machining are quite impressive.  They're a proven product at this point. With literally hundreds of catches of 200# plus yellowfin tuna to attest to their reliability. And, they're one of the great values in reels, too!

CharkBait is proud to be one of Avet's very first retailers, introducing this wonderful line to the fishing community and working closely with the manufacturer to ensure the product meets our client's expectations.  We are also Avet's largest dealer.  We buy them from the manufacturer directly in high quantities, allowing us the opportunity to offer them to our clients at a true value. We maintain a huge inventory of all the products we sell. Unlike some "phantom" sources for fishing gear on the Internet you can have confidence in your purchases from CharkBait. You can even visit with us in our shop or call and speak to a real live person! When we rig up a reel "long range style" we know what we're talking about and we rig things correctly. We were the very first on-line retailer of quality sportfishing gear, almost ten years ago.  >We have a physical presence, a retail store, you can call us seven days a week, email us, ask us questions.  We're all fishing enthusiasts here, so we're tuned in to what you like to do - fish!  We're also proud to have earned a reputation as the most competitive source for quality gear. We stock more Avet reels than any other retailer or distributor of these products. We maintain more models, more colors, more gear options and more left hand retrieve reels than any dealer in America...or elsewhere.

Over the years we've received many inquiries about Avets, trying to compare sizes, specs, applications. Not always easy to cover the questions through the extensive text below. So, we made a brief video of the Avet line up which may prove helpful arriving at the right reel for your particular application. Please click here to view the Avet Reel Line video.

 

Available all models	We typically stock Avet reels in seven different flavors, as well at times we add to that with other colors such as orange and green (for a total of 9 or more flavors available in select models. Not all colors are available in each and every model, for example gunmetal and black have certain exclusions. Avet's standard colors are silver, blue and gold. They do some limited runs in purple, black and gunmetal. We go beyond that selection and commission Avet to produce reels in a beautiful Candy Apple Red.

We know more about Spectra spooling than anyone. We've been doing it longer and we've learned and innovated along the way. We are proud to offer both Izorline and Jerry Brown, Momoi and PowerPro Spectra as options on these fine reels, as well as Blackwater and PLine braided products. We do not offer inferior "no-name" spectra. For use as backing, we typically recommend Izorline and Jerry Brown Spectra for use as backing. These lines are more expensive than the no-name imitations, and they're much better products. Please remember, the Spectra will be used for 10 years, or more. Do not be swayed into purchasing an inferior brand of "super braid." It's a false economy. 

New Dual Drag Models

These reels will not be something everyone will need, it won't be another broad application piece suitable for most everyone. Avet has produced a narrow application reel, for some simply beyond what's called for, for others just what they've been dreaming about. The Raptor has garnered an awful lot of interest because of it's unique size and drag capability. The first Raptor supplied was basically an SX on steroids, capable of higher drag settings given it's dual drag configuration (both drags on the same side of the spool). It holds a bit more line than an SX, 300 yards of 65# Spectra with a short topper (typically Fluorocarbon leader) or 270 yards of 20# straight mono. The reel also features Avet's Magnetic Cast control for more effortless casting with less potential for backlash. Cosmetically these reels look like a shrunken HX. The spool and frame are a bit different than the standard series reels from Avet, allowing for the extended line capacity. They'll turn over 17#'s of drag at strike with freespool performance, and button down at about 27#'s of drag! (Ouch!) It's a small, stealthy critter with a big bite, thus the name Raptor. For those with hopes of taking a large fish on a small reel, this one's got the capability to nail the bigger ones. On the right rod, with the right person, it's going to do just that.

The HX version of the Raptor was introduced in 2009. This is THE reel for folks targeting larger fish, with a need for casting capability. For the long range crowd, fishing the new Calstar 770H or Seeker 2 X 4, the HX Raptor will cover the casting requirement you've been struggling to accomplish with your 30 narrows (or 50's heaven forbid!).  The HX Raptor will turn over 40 pounds of drag with freespool and button down at about 50#'s! It truly is a "small" powerhouse. Initial production is the standard HX size and the HXJ (narrrow) version. Most folks will load these reels with 100# JB hollow, and have just about the same line capacity as is offered on a 30 narrow! You can fill the standard width HX Raptor with up to 500 yards of 100# Spectra, if you run a very short topper. Or go 300 yards 80 or 100# and run about 100 yards on top (80#).

We have the full compliment of colors of the SX Raptor in stock, silver, blue, gold, gunmetal, black, purple and red. Same for the HX versions. We guarantee our prices, for your piece of mind. For unused/unfished gear, you have a seven day refund and 30 day exchange privilege. As well, we offer 30 day price protection. (SX Raptor - Pictured below left, HX Raptor right) We have the HX version in stock in both the standard and WIDE versions as of 12/22/09.

 

Following the success of the SX and HX sized Raptors, Avet committed to build the JX and LX series as a new project. After several months waiting, the mid size dual drag Raptor arrived to us in June 2010, just in time for the opening of our San Diego shop.

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.

Avet Magnetic Cast Control Reels

Please note, there are two versions of Avet Reels now, the Magnetic Cast controlled (MC) version and their standard mechanical cast controlled reels. Both types are excellent, which type is best for you is subjective. Please scan down the page to view the standard reels...which run a bit less than the MC's.

They have arrived, the magnetic cast control works like a dream come true. There's' been a great deal of interest and Internet buzz about Avet's new magnetic cast control reels.

 

We probably helped create some interest with our message board, and Walt's informative write-up and pictures posted in the Fishermen's Journal section of this website. He described how a guy could enhance control over freespool through use of a magnetic system which, with a bit of ingenuity could be installed by an owner of one of Avets great reels. Since they do spin so well, in the hands of someone without much experience, the high freespool ability of these reels can be a challenge to master. The folks at Avet were listening, and certainly wanted to expand their client base to all fishermen, not just those with educated thumbs. So, Avet designed their own Magnetic Cast Control, the Magic Cast. This feature is available on many of their most popular reels now. It uses a small dial (1-5 scale) on the sideplate to add additional control over the reels freespool. If properly set up, you can in fact cast the reel without using your thumb to slow the spool down as your bait hits the water. It's a great feature, and one that I believe pays it's biggest dividends on the smaller size reels, since their spools have to spin the most to deliver casting distance. If you've got a great thumb, you probably don't need the feature, but if you are new to sportfishing or if you simply want to make things as easy as possible and avoid backlash-blues, this feature is something to be excited about.

Note: we don't include second rate braided lines with your order, but do make available the highest quality AMERICAN PRODUCED SPECTRA - not bargain basement Spectra or foreign sourced "braid." There is a difference, and true Spectra from a manufacturer focused on our style of saltwater fishing is the superior product, with Jerry Brown and Izorline being the two best in the business, and Cortland coming on strong. For bottom fishing applications Power Pro has had some supporters, though it's not recommended by us for use as a backing for long range application.

Made in America, and very proud of it!

AVET SX

It's a  tiny, powerful, variation on the Avet theme of leverdrag and super freespooling spins.  This is one sweet 12-20# reel, a giant killer if there ever was one. The new SX is unique in terms of power and size. If you liked Shimano's discontinued cult classic, the TLD5, you're going to fall in love with the new Avet. It's a small piece of machine shop perfection.

We've been playing with these new reels a lot since they came into our inventory almost three years ago.  We like 'em.  Tom at the shop loves his, probably takes it to bed with him every night. (I'll have to ask his wife about that one...) Something so small, so strong and capable, and it's got a good feel about it.  I think Avet got it right, again. 

Extended Use Report:  The machining is first rate, the drags are powerful, and the half dozen ball bearings sure make the thing spin. The reels use open bearings, meaning you can lubricate them, clean them, make them last years with a little maintenance.  Being such a small reel, as drag is increased the handle requires a bit more pressure in turning.  This is not noticeable when a fish is on, but it's a little different from many other reels. This also seems to reduce over time, with use.  This little reel can produce a lot more drag than you'd think for its size, so the slight difference in handle feel is to be expected. Corrosion issues have not cropped up, client response has been very positive.

Avet upgraded their styling since the original introduction of the SX. The piece was first produced in 2002. In 2004 Avet updated SX, with a more "refined" version with slightly rounded sideplates (later duplicated on all Avets). They upgraded the handle on the SX 2006/7, smoothed out the "feel" and also added a round soft grip  knob. In 2008 Avet changed the gearing to 5.3:1. The reel is much more refined now with a silent retrieve, truly a precision instrument that's small, strong and capable of dealing with fish far larger than you'd normally consider with a reel of this diminutive stature.

*Price includes FREE CharkBait Reel Skin, mono spooling and shipping.

Avet SX 2 Speed!

Big power, small size! They've been talking about building this one for a couple years, and they finally did! A little SX that's on steroids! Yep, two-speeds, tiny size, machined aluminum, 6+2 bearings, all sorts of freespool, carbon fiber drags, new ergonomic handle, updated lever...incredible and unique. The new SX is certainly not for everyone, it's not inexpensive and it's not what most folks will use for taming huge fish. But, you've got to appreciate what they've been able to accomplish on such a small reel. I can see a lot of reasons to possess one of these little guys. Chief among them is that you've got speed when you need it and power when you need it too! There is also a certain joy that comes from owning such a nifty piece of engineering, as well.

Specs are the same as for the standard SX, weight is really not effected to any great degree, line capacity is no different.

AVET MX

For 2004 Avet made a cosmetic upgrade,to the MX,  just like they did with the little powerhouse SX reel.  The new version has a rounder look, like their big brother, the EX.  It's a smoother look, more refined in finish. In 2006 Avet introduced a two speed version of the MX (pictured right), extending the reel's application to larger fish for which the lower gear option has some advantage.  A further refinement was made in 2007, giving the reels a "silent" crank and 5.8:1 gearing. (Pictured above, old style handles, below the new soft grip ball style handle now offered from Avet). Subtle refinements based upon consumer/fishermen feedback and use reports. The guys at Avet do fish, and tinker, and refine their offerings.  Like all the Avet reels so far introduced, this one uses a leverdrag and offers exceptional freespool. It's made from machined aluminum, offers great stopping power in addition to it's excellent casting characteristics. Further, Avet added a narrow "J" model which holds about 50 yards less line (@20#). The narrow model appeals to guys looking for a smaller compact jig reel.  A further refinement was made in 2007, giving the reels a "silent" crank and 5.8:1 gearing. (Pictured above, old style handles, below the new soft grip ball style handle now offered from Avet).

This is the 20-25# reel Avet needed in their line, it comfortably fishes the line test most of us use, most of the time.  It's strong and it casts well. The MX series can produce a smooth 9-10# of drag at the strike position, while maintaining free-spool. If you are in a pinch, you can button down the drag and get an amazing 16# of drag! It's made from corrosion resistant materials, is 100% machined, with type 2 anodized finish. It's got the strength provided by a true one piece frame, and all metal construction.  For casting, the reel features six steel ball bearings and stainless steel components.

 To help distinguish the newer series of reels the wider version is now called the MXL, the narrow MXJ. In terms of line capacity you can load 350 yards of 20# on the L model, 300 on the J. The L and J models seem to be influenced by the classic Newell 229 and 220, different width spools and frames, different gear ratios for different applications and personal tastes.

MX Two-Speed

Avet first introduced this new two speed reel at the Fred Hall Long Beach show.  The MX is  available in two widths and in three colors, silver, blue and gold. Six bearings, machined aluminum, made in America, these guys are on a roll!

I bought myself one of the first MXL two speed reels.  Some folks wondered why a two speed at a 30# line class.  Well, here's the rational.  You've got speed to wind a jig, get attention from yellowtail for instance.  But, you can also crank down into low gear and horse the puppy back home to the boat.  That's the rational.  You've got a blazing fast high gear, and you can drop down to power.

AVET LX and JX
- Super Freespool in a Leverdrag

Avet LX and JX
Single Speed Reels!

We certainly do like Avet reels.  We're their largest retailer in the nation, and have been for some time.  It's been a real pleasure being associated with this firm and watching them grow.  Each generation of reels they introduce improves upon prior products.  They support the owners of their reels through offering updates and superior factory service.

Avet's single speed LX and JX reels offer great casting and drag performance.  The enhancements they've made are based upon their two speed home run reels, the JX and LX two speeds.  The new reels are made to accommodate the higher line tests that many folks have wanted to fish without modification.  Spectra backing allows us bump up in line test on smaller more comfortable size fishing reels.  The new JX/LX reels will handle 40# line better than the old models.  They'll give you 15#'s (at strike with more at the full setting) of drag from their LARGE carbon fiber drag material, and superior freespool performance for longer casts, too.  The new reel is simply more refined and more reflective of how these fine reels are usually employed.

Like all Avet reels these are leverdrag designs, featuring six shielded bearings with the best anti-corrosion treatment available.  They are easy maintenance reels.  Just button down the drag and dunk them in fresh water after use.  Then back off the drag and allow them to air dry.  Once a year I'd suggest having us or someone familiar with them (or yourself) take them down and apply some lubrication.  They are made from high quality aluminum all machined, not cast, for tight tolerances. and fit.

The JX holds 280 yards of 30# line, the LX will hold 350 yards of 30#.

Avet LX & JX 6/3 Two Speed Perfection in a Casting Reel!

The long awaited 40-50# class Avet JX and LX 2 speed has arrived, has established it's credibility all over the world and has achieved a level of performance previously never seen.  America's most innovative manufacturer of fishing reels has raised the bar a big notch with the JX and LX two speeds. Never has there been a reel of this size and power, with this kind of casting performance. Add a second gear, two speed flexibility and fish fighting ability, and you have a very versatile reel that's made for fishing the line test we most use for better quality fish. 

In the past all two speed gear was basically trolling equipment which we would try to hot rod into some kind of casting capability. Always the spools were too heavy, the bearings second rate and the performance flawed. Avet got things right. With the LX and JX you've got a reel sized like a 3/0, about like a Newell 338 and 332, not much bigger than a Jigmaster. The difference is that it's strong, machined aluminum strong. The other difference is that you've got six bearing with a precisely made spool that casts well. Oh, it's also a two speed, moving from 6:1 to 3:1. Punch and power, speed to get noticed and stump pulling low end power when you need it most. Versatile and powerful, those are the terms that characterize these wonderful reels best. Guys, they're "must-haves."

The new JX and LX 2 speeds are made for taking everything from wahoo to tuna and any species in between.  They spin well, great freespool like all the Avet reels.  They have a fast 6:1 gear ratio and drop down to 3:1 for power.  At those gear ratios you can wind in a wahoo bomb quickly and if you happen to be picked up by a 200# yellowfin instead of a wahoo you'll have the power to deal with the fish.  But, be sure to rig your reel with Spectra for adequate line capacity.  I'd suggest 300 yards of Izor's Spectra with a top shot of 40-50# mono.  The reel will do about 15# of drag with great freespool, then button down to close to 20# at the full position on the lever. I bought both the JX and LX, running 300 yards of 50# Spectra on the JX with 120-140 yards of 40# mono and 300 yards 65# Spectra with 120-140 yards of 50# topper.

Avet HX

Avet HX Single Speed!
NEW MODEL!

Here's another new reel from Avet, one that they've been planning for well over a year's time. The single speed HX is your basic 4/0 Narrow - updated. The new HX will turn 22#'s at strike and 28#'s of drag at the full position of the lever. The gear ratio is a very useful 4.2:1, and the weight is 25 ounces. Spooled with 50# line, you'll get 285 yards of line capacity. Alternatively, with 80# Spectra you'll have a good 300 yards plus room for a modest topshot. In a way, you might think that the firm that created the small two-speed reel market was going backwards, but that's not the case. Two speeds are great, but for some fishermen it's beyond the finances and also beyond that which is needed to get the job done. For a fellow bottom fishing, or targeting larger size halibut in Alaskan or Pacific Northwest waters, this could be exactly what you're looking for. a good strong reel at a very fair price.

Avet HX 5/2

The "Hoo-X"

Avet's done it again, set the bar a bit higher for other manufacturers and created a must-have reel for serious anglers. The new HX or Hoo-X as we affectionately call 'em is one of the more versatile reels you'll come across. It's a compact true 4/0 size similar to a Penn Baja Special, but a bit lighter in weight. Like all Avet reels, it's a lever drag that spins and casts superbly. Six rubber shielded ball bearings that will put up with abuse, huge carbon fiber drag, ergonomic handle... Actually, this reel features 8 ball bearings in total! It's rather tall, so you'll bring in a good amount of line per crank, and the gearing is very well thought out. They are geared at 5.4:1 and 2.4:1, so you've got speed for attracting a bite from a wahoo, but great cranking power for dealing with tuna and even marlin. They'll be great sailfish reels, too. The stylish lugs can also be reversed (lugs/plugs) for situations when having an attachment point is unimportant. You do have options. This is another Avet reel that really has no equal, and fills so many applications that it really will become a must have piece. Let's talk a bit about the drag. Avet claims they'll do 20#'s of drag measured at strike, and still offer GREAT freespool performance for casting. We've tested them, they perform as stated. The reels will most commonly be used for fishing 50-60# lines. This has been a much hyped and talked about reel on all the message boards over the past few months, and now it's a reality. 

Extended use report...since I bought one too, the HX is one of the most versatile big game reels made today. It will take wahoo, larger grade tuna, marlin, pretty much anything that it's line capacity allows. The drag is there, casting performance is very good, and it's not too big to handle comfortably. Like the JX, the HX begs to be used, and it will be used often by any fisherman lucky enough to own one.

Avet makes the HX in three configurations, all based upon the same reel.

 

HX - most use 300 yds of 80# Spectra topped with ~140 yds of 60# mono on the standard width HX. The narrow will hold much less, more like 300 of 65 with a topshot of about 50 yds 50#. Certainly these versatile reels lend itself to many applications, rigging ranges from 50 to 80# on top, so there are applications requiring longer 60# Spectra up to 135# Spectra backing. As a consequence, the rigging options are extensive, as shown below...

Avet Pro 30!

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 have been long awaited, and they're creating quite a stir.  They're two of the most powerful and useful reels you're likely to encounter. 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. There were Accurate 50's, Tiburons, Penns and even a few from a mickey mouse bicycle-making-price-fixing firm from Japan. 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 even the shitmanos 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.)

Avet 80

Finally Avet has completed AND shipped their new 80 series reels. The new 80W reel's a beast. This new 2 speed features a dual drag system with 50#'s of pressure measured at strike with excellent freespool performance. It will button down to at least 60#'s measured at full. The 80 uses 9 rubber shielded stainless steel bearings, weighs in at 103 ounces and will hold 1000 yards of 80# line. It's a beast, a great performing beast that's priced right and built right. This is a reel that could very easily retail for $100-200 more, and be an excellent value. We have them priced at $749, and the reel is worth every penny of that...and then some. Also, we offer them spooled appropriately for their intended quarry and application.

Avet T-RX

The definitive 50 wide, 100 pounds of drag and superior freespool right out of the box!  It's a MONSTER!

Avet's new flagship in reel design and performance has arrived. This is as good as they get.  The T-RX (or T-Rex as it's commonly called) produces an unbelievable 100#'s of drag, nothing does that.  Use it to winch in a fish, or retrieve your boat if the ramp is slippery!  The reels is made here in the USA, from machined aluminum, type 2 anodized, with six stainless steel shielded ball bearings and stainless components.  The most unique thing about the reel is the construction of it's drag system, with twin titanium disks on both sides with 4 carbon fiber brake pads! You've got equal drag pressure coming from both sides of the spool, and that pressure is as close to unlimited as any man can stand.  You may not ever need 100#'s of drag, but that points to the headroom, the capability of this monster.  Oh, I failed to mention, that's 100#'s of drag with excellent freespool.  It will button down at a whopping 114# of drag in the full position. This is a winch.

The T-RX is a 50 wide size, holds 950 yards of 50# line, but most will fill her with 500 yards of 135# Spectra and top off with 100# mono.  That will give you about 800 yards of heavy line to work with, enough for just about any monster fish you're going to find, anywhere.  The reel features a 3.2:1 and 1.3:1 gear ratio and weighs in at 79 ounces for the wide and 74 ounces for the narrow version. We're including 500 yards of Spectra backing and your topshot with this new reel, as well as a very nice reel cover.  Shipping is included within the 48 contiguous states.

 Price includes FREE mono spooling, Izorline or Jerry Brown Spectra backing,
reel skin and shipping within USA.

AVET 30 T-RX also posted below - Same concept as the 50, dual drags, both sides of spool for a whopping 70#'s of drag or better...

LEFTY AVET REELS -
See Special Purchase info below...
One of the owners of Avet is left handed.  As a result, they're quite sensitive to the needs of lefty fishermen.  They produce a true left hand reel, not just a rotated and switched sideplate modification.  These are not always in great supply, though we try to keep a full inventory of available models in stock. Lefty reels are only available in the silver finish. Pricing is the same as for the right hand retrieve reels. The only restriction is that the leftys are only made in the silver anodization.

Avet Soft Grip Handles

With the introduction a few years ago of the soft grip handles, some folks have wanted to update their older model reels with the lighter knobs. That's not an option since the knob is attached to the arm in such a way that the simple replacement can not be accomplished - without buying the entire arm & knob. We keep a fair inventory here at our shop, and can obtain what it is that we don't have fairly quickly. So, if you've been wanting the new handle, now's your chance. Please let us know if your reel is a single or two speed, and the color handle/arm you'd like to purchase.

New Avet Reel Storage

Avet just came out with a couple very nice 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" with eight adjustable dividers capable of holding up to 8 30's or 50's. These are a quality product, 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.

Note - FREE SHIPPING APPLIES (for orders over $100) within Continental USA
Alaska and Hawaii will incur modest shipping charges.
