Avet HX 5 – 2 Raptor Two-Speed Lever Drag Casting Reel – Silver - Review

The Avet HX Reel comes with a range of impressive features that make it a top choice for fishing enthusiasts. The reel is made from precision machined 6061 T-6 marine grade aluminum and stainless steel components, ensuring durability and strength. It is also anodized for superior corrosion resistance and a beautiful finish.

One of the standout features of the Avet HX Reel is its true one-piece frame construction. This design not only maximizes strength but also keeps the weight of the reel to a minimum. The lever drag system is powerful and comes with an adjustable strike pre-set, allowing anglers to fine-tune their fishing experience.

The reel is equipped with precision machined stainless steel gears that ensure smooth and reliable operation. Additionally, Avet's patented dog and gear anti-reverse system provides unparalleled reliability, making it one of the most dependable systems in the industry.

The Avet HX Reel also boasts Avedrag dry carbon fiber drags, which deliver superior stopping power, smoothness, and wear resistance. With 8 sealed stainless ball bearings and an alarm clicker, this reel is designed to perform flawlessly in challenging fishing conditions.

The reel features an offset machined handle arm that reduces the centerline profile and minimizes cranking wobble. The large comfortable soft-touch handle knob ensures a comfortable and secure grip during long fishing sessions. The reel also comes with stainless steel harness lugs, which are reversible and can be stored within the reel when not needed (except for HXJ models).

In terms of capacity, the Avet HX Reel has a wide spool design that can accommodate large line capacities. It also comes with a matching machined aluminum rod clamp for added convenience (excluding Non-Raptor SXJ models).

It is important to note that the Avet HX Reel is designed, machined, and assembled in the USA, ensuring the highest quality standards are met.

The MC Models of the Avet HX Reel feature the Magic Cast Control System. This system helps prevent backlash and allows for line out adjustment during live bait fishing. The MC Cast Control knob has 5 different settings for multiple weight casting applications. The Raptor models (excluding HXW Raptor) come with the MC Cast as a standard feature.
