Avet Raptor

Avet SX Raptor  

"Our first trip using the Avet SX Raptor proved it to be an absolute blast to fish with. Ultra smooth
drags, great casting ability, and the power to easily handle the 125-150 pound Blacktip sharks
we caught all day long. My charter party loved it.Thumbs up on this one. " Captain Junior Walker

The Avet HX Raptor is here, please scroll down

Avets SX " RAPTOR", This is a lot more than an Avet SX 6/4 on steroids. 
First in a series that will eventually include the MX, JX, LX and HX reels, the Raptor
series will provide much exceitement in their ability to bring in huge fish in their
lightweight, super strong configuration

This Raptor, first in the series to be, is based on the Avet  SX 6/4 2 speed, is modified
with dual carbon fiberdrag discs on the same side,  a larger spool giving it the capacity
to hold 300 plus yds of 60-65 pound braid, a ball detent drag lever for precise adjustment,
and the recently introduced McCast magnetic cast control system.  It will pull an astonishing 26 pounds of drag with its dual carbon fiber discs all in a package that weighs just 17 ounces.
This reel is targeted at Tuna in the 80-160 pound range

Anticipation is high on this reel, available in Black, Silver, Blue, Purple, or Gold

Prices are delivered in the USA

Made in the 

 Avet Raptor HX

The Avet HX Raptor is now available, wow what a reel. With 50 pounds of drag at full,
40 pounds at strike, dual carbon fiber drag discs, Avets McCast mag system, and
a powerful 2 speed gear system, this reel will become a favorite.

This reel is a new generation of lighweight extremely strong reels. Imagine using a reel that weighs just under 2 pounds that has more drag than either a Penn Int'l 30 or a Shimano Tiagra 30. A reel that is one third of their weight that can cast like a bullet for 70 or more yards with no problem, no birdnests either.

Tradition goes out the door when you consider what this reel can do. Perfect for todays angler that uses a stand up technique when fighting his fish. Avet has made the Pro 50 power handle available as an option on the HX Raptor, it is standard on the HXW, both shown below

Avet HXW Raptor

Avet started shipping the HXW Raptor in January 2010, The specs are the same as the HX with the exception of a slight 2 ounce increase in weight and a 40 percent increase in line capacity. This reel does not come with the McCast magnetic cast control.  Designed primarily with chunking, deepdrop, or trolling applications in mind, the McCast feature would be an unnecessary option
The reel does come standard with the power handle shown above
