I think Im gettin one for myself but you got dibs on this thread.

Im done with my Calcutta. I caught a 55 kg tiburon last week and the Calcutta completely crapped out the next day. im lookin for something with more guts
Ahh cool, no problem vato. I love all 7 of my Avets. I know them very well. The reel I'm trying to buy would be me second MXJ. My other is loaded with 50# izoline. It's a workhorse. Great for fishing 30# leader. Can cast iron a mile. The second mxj will be for straight mono 30# off the yak. Right now I'm tossing irons on 30# with my two speed MXL.

Here's the catch, Avets are not the type of reel you leave covered in salt water for two months without rinsing. They are annodizedd aluminum lever drags with 6 ball bearings. If you like to toss your shit into the back of the car for weeks at time without proper cleaing and drying. Get a graphie start drag for 1/2 the price as an Avet. Shimano and Diawa make great $100 reels.

Otherwise feel free to PM about any Avet.

BTW; the red tide affects that killed Ojos last year hasn't hurt the spring time stuff. get ready for September!
