Wanted Avet reels

[Coastal Crew]

I’m on the lookout for a pair of Avet reels. Ideally a pair of HX’s in either single or two speed versions. Would also be interested in JX or LX models. Let me know what you have.

There is a couple of Accurate Boss Extreme Dauntless DPX2-600 on Fb Marketplace. I know the guy selling them if that helps you at all

You would be correct!

Honestly you don't need two speeds for tuna unless you're aiming for the 80lb+ lb fish, it helps in the 50lb+ range but not a necessity. Line capacity, properly paired rod and technique are far more important. Sure you need a certain amount of drag and proper line absolutly.

definitely don't need 2 speeds for Albi,, we have ripped there jaws right off using the lower gearing and too much drag.

Agreed on not needing the two speed for albies. I take these reels down south every or every other winter for wahoo, black fin, mahi, etc. Two speeds are nice for a quick retrieve before the tax man shows up and takes his share.

OB, what are your preferred rods? I’m current running a few Trevalas, Fenwick 30-50s, and a couple cheap Chinese internet specials.
