My Mood:  Rep Power: 4  | Re: Avet SX 5.1 The latest generation Avet reels including the SX are very well built indeed. They have ironed out the problems with the 1st generation models and have improved the ergonomics. As for the comparison with the Z30 and OJ1500, well these reels are star drags and I reckon they have a bit more drag to offer as well. Smoothness and cranking power wise, I reckon the Japanese reels still have the edge. But you're right, the SX is both cute and strong and a lever drag too. Saimee

Rep Power: 0 | Re: Avet SX 5.1  thank .. is some different at the Smoothness on Avet SX. Smoothness ... is not a big issue.. like "LandRover" Vs 'Pajero' hi hi is it heavy duty like penn reel ? do u think 30 lbs PowerPro and fit on 10/12Kg Expert jig rod / 10/12kg Xzogan ... is the best combination ? i like it becouse ..it look very strong... then the price only half of the Z30.. |

Rep Power: 3 | Re: Avet SX 5.1 gotten the blue one exactly bcoz of its "cuteness" but have not landed anything significant to test it yet. Feels really handy though, and I usually pair it with a offblow pe1.5-3. Look and feels "compatible"  |

Rep Power: 3 | Re: Avet SX 5.1 Mine is loaded with yellow tuf line, think its 20lb. I sometimes pair it with a gusa 20-40 as well, for heavier local bottom usage. Lighter weight, so can hold on to them for a much longer period |

sorry .. i dont have scale to test the drag in kg ... according to my testing experience .. if full drag ...it can almost get double the original drag .. but u need to add in one more washer before the (())... about 0.2-0.3 mm but i feel over load to the reel already ..it may spoilt the bearing and main shapp and grear ...Expecially the main shapp .. it too small at the drag setting side .. so ... i tune it untill 50% more drag only ... change the setting from ()() to (()) ... you need to very carefull to the drag setting .. drag may increase very fast from 0 to full .. | |
