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

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.
