Avet SX 6/4 Fishing Reel
The Avet SX 6/4 Fishing Reel, doubles as both an offshore and inshore bait caster. Given it's size, the 2 speed SX is a unique fishing reel that is in a class of it's own. Like the other SX models, the 2 speed is excellent for both salt and fresh water applications, but with a twist, the 2nd speed provides the added advantage that allows the angler to fight fish that sound, and fight deep.
The lower gear ratio allows for easier cranking, greatly reducing angler fatigue when fighting fish that fight deep. The 2nd speed is comparable to going from 10th speed to 1st speed on a 10 speed bike, easier to peddle, but not too fast. Easier to crank, but not too fast. The 2nd speed is an advantage when fighting fish such as Tuna that sound and fight deep under the boat.
If you like the challenge of light tackle sportfishing, the Avet SX is an excellent choice for many sport fishing applications, everything from bass, to sailfish. The bigger the fish, the bigger the challenge. This reel may be used with monofilament lines, as well as 30 - 50 LB Test Spectra braided lines, which provide the angler with the necessary line capacity to challenge big fish. We recommend using braided line when fishing 2 speed reels. Typically a heavier line class is necessary to fight fish that sound and fight deep. Whether fishing live bait, dead bait, or lures, the Avet SX 6/4 Fishing Reel will provide you with the exhilaration you seek in extreme fishing conditions.

Avet SX 6/4 Fishing Reel
The Avet SX 6/4 Fishing Reel is an excellent choice for many types of sport fishing applications. The size of the Avet SX allows this reel to be used as a bait caster. The reel's design and maximum drag capability also allows the angler to use this reel for many salt water fishing applications, including plug casting, fishing live baits on the flat lines, or when drifting dead baits.
The SX reel foot allows it to be mounted on a standard bait casting rod, as well as on any rod that features a 22 mm diameter reel seat. Anglers may use monofilament lines ranging from 20 lbs, and Spectra braids as high as 50 LB Test. Heavier than 50 is not recommended, when an acceptable amount of line capacity is desired. Most anglers who purchase a 2 speed reel do so because they want the benefits of the 2nd speed, it is because of this reason that I strongly recommend the use of braided line for the Avet SX 6/4 Fishing Reel, the braid will allow you both the strength and line capacity to tackle those fish that a 2nd speed are meant for.
