If buying an Avet for your jig-stick, Magic Cast all the way! Spend that extra money, because you're going to need that feature for tossing the iron on an Avet.

The MC option is $40 more and with the current sale you get MC for the regular price. I agree you won't do much, if any, casting if you use it as a bait setup. But, the clicker is very weak on the SX and Larry Laumann said it perfectly that he usually ends up putting the reel just in gear with the clicker on. I'm not a big fan of doing that, thus spending $200 for an SX MC seems like a good way to go.

If you go MXJ, that clicker without MC seems to be fine.

I have a JX MC that I use on my jigstick and I can cast it without thumbing and no backlashing on MC setting 4. With setting 3 I just have to keep my thumb ready and rarely if ever have an issue.

On another note, why are you on the boards so much Josh??? Shouldn't you be fishing or something? Don't tell me you're on a sabbatical.

Although I don't fish as often as many of you, I think the SX is one of the best reels out there. Small and light but can easily handle a big YT and give you a great fight. I've only had problems with a used one I bought, but once cleaned and bearings changed no issues since.

Ha! Until yesterday, I haven't been on this board for two weeks. Since I get to fish 200+ times a year, I'm on my other boards whenever I can. Or whenever the appropriate conditions present themselves. Like my brand new 6' 2" I picked up yesterday---when there's a firing South swell (right now) I surf---when you have to go to work (everyday), I fish!

Every retailer. Its an Avet sale but there is no specified end date. $40 off any single/2 speed SX, MXJ or MXL. MC or no MC. This is basically the same deal as the Fred Hall pricing.
