Anyone have experience with Avet Mag cast reels? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have an MXJ MC and i love it for throwing larger jigs, anything tady 45 / salas 7x and up in weight, i also like it for fishing live mac's. Not the best for lighter jigs or casting small live baits although non MC Avets are awesome for those applications.

I have an avet with the mc and honestly if your using it for casting the mc is pretty helpful, however if your using it on a bait stick, it may not be worth the extra 50 bucks to you. people say they like the mc for live bait with the clicker, but if i were to buy one another strictly for bait I would go with the standard avet save with fifty bucks add another 50 and buy another sealine

I purchased one for my son Roman who had trouble casting my Newells. As a result, his casting skills have improved remarkably because he no longer spends most of his time untangling his backlash, and he has built enough confidence in his abilities to throw the iron further. For me, the MC feature reduces my distance, so when I use his reel, I turn it off.

I have 2 JX, MXJ, MXL, SX, HXJ, all with the MC. They are perfect for jigs and the bigger live baits, but as mentioned before if you are using it sardins and chovys the reel will tend to rip the hook off before the baits hits the water. If its for llive bait, I prefer the non MC. I still love my Avets. they tend to get better the more you use it.
