Avet Pro 30W TRX from Cabbage
Key
Avets TRX 30W has finally arrived!!!
A powerful fish stopper capable of up to 70 lbs of
drag!
Cabbage Key, being one of Avets
first dealers, is proud to have the opportunity to be involved in
the first on the water field trial of their new quad drag TRX
30W
Avets new Pro 30W TRX first on
the water trial confirms everything we thought the reel would be. A
smaller , lighter version of their famed Pro 50 TRX.
This reel , with its
extraordinary drag system, gives the angler an immensely strong ,
lightweight alternative to traditional heavy 80 and 130 pound class
reels.
Quite capable of handling the
monsters of the sea, here is the first "on the water" review from
one of our customers. This is the first reel out of the
factory on December 10. 2005.
.Hello again Eddy... I just thought I'd fill you
in, pertaining to my field test of the T-RX 30... I recieved the
reel at about 9:15am on Saturday morning... Upon recieving the reel,
I went straight to a local tackle store and spooled the reel up with
500 yards of 100lb solid spectra with 50 yards of an 80lb mono
topshot (this rigging being the optimum one for the Thresher sharks
that are currently in my region, on migratory routes)... I set out
to the 14-mile bank on my boat at around 10:30am (FYI: the 14 mile
bank is a high spot with good temperatures for all kinds of game
sharks, where I have caught several threshers, makos, and blue
sharks throughout the years)... I reached my usual slow trolling
spot at about 11:00 am and began a slow troll with 2 chum buckets in
the water... I trolled with an Avet 50 SDS and of course, my new
T-RX 30... I let the T-RX's line out much further than my other rig,
being that the T-RX was the reel I wanted to test out... After about
a half hour, I hooked and winched in a very large blue shark on my
T-RX 30----about 7.5 fet long and about 150 pounds... To the
contrary, adult blue sharks (like this one) have given me a tough
fight in the past (even on 50 wide reels)... This fight, however,
was over within about 2 minutes... The drags were the smoothest I'd
ever felt, and I winched the shark in with no delay or studdering in
low gear... After releasing this one, I dropped my lines back in the
water and slow trolled for about an hour longer until finally
hooking a 225 pound thresher IN THE MOUTH (not the tail)... I knew
I'd hit the jackpot when I saw the distinctive tail come up after
the strike... It was truly a different feeling to have a huge fish
like this on such a light weight reel, as I am accustomed to using
50 wides that weigh upwards of 80 oz... The reel didn't stutter at
all though, and I winched this one in low gear... It only took me
about 25 minutes!!!... this is about 10 minutes shorter than it had
taken me to land 200+lb Threshers in the past---and that was on 50
wides!!! I had very little fatigue afterward, as this reel is so
unbelievably light... To conclude this field test, all I can say is
welcome to the future... Avet reels are producing the most
technologically advanced fishing reels in the world, period... The
80 wide and 130 lb reel from any company might as well be
obsolete... If I were you Eddy, I would just cut and paste this
review on your website as a sales hype...
