avet baitcaster reel SX Raptor 6/4 MC Two Speed Lever Drag Right Hand / Silver Avet SX Reels are workhorse 20 Avet T-RX 130 2-Speed Lever

Simply unscrew the handle screw on the opposite side of the reel taking care not to drop it in the water

Built to handle big baits with ease, this reel provides both comfort and confidence for anglers targeting glidebaits, swimbaits, A-rigs, frogs, rats, and other oversized lures

Too much line on a baitcast reel could increase the chance of backlash, while not enough line could limit the casting distance and the fish-fighting action

In the 30 or so hours I spent working the Choppo with this reel, it bested a couple of memorable fish including a 3 pound spotted bass and a largemouth of similar size

No wonder that the casting is so inconsistent - the initial friction varies unpredictably
