The Local Fisherman

Avet reels began in 1999, then introduced a new line of saltwater reels destined to revolutionize the conventional reel market in 2002. Avet uses spur gearing in lower ratio models and features a unique planetary gear system in high-speed retrieval models. This allows for effortless operation under demanding conditions imposed by anglers pursuing larger game fish species.

Avet’s gear system also allows for smaller gear case, lightening the reel and making it a good match for today’s lightweight rods. Six stainless steel ball bearings give the reel smoothness and increased casting distance and free spool.

An oversized carbon fiber drag system combined with stainless drag plates, gives Avet Reels a smooth drag with the ability to free spool at a full drag setting. With a frame, spool and side plate fully machined from billet 6061-T6 aluminum stock, Avet Reels have strength and corrosion resistance built into their design.

Avet reels are currently offered in a durable type 2 anodizing and are available in silver, gold, metallic gray, and navy blue finishes. They also come standard with a rod clamp that attaches even when the spool is full of line. For more information on Avet Reels, log onto www.avetreels.com.
