I get out for tuna 2-3 times a year on a friends boat. I fish more local than anything. Cant really afford two avet setups. I already have the torium setup, this avet would just provide me a second set up. I'd like it to be versitle and an upgrade over the torium in quality and versatility.

Thanks again, I dig all if the insight.

Charkbait is very legit, bought my MXJ, Fathom 25N and Lexa from them. I also have a Torium and love that reel too

You already have your Torium 20, you fish offshore sometimes and you're looking for one Avet setup.
I vote for the JX6 with MC for the few extra bucks. I can't justify the extra cost for the 2-speed but if you can...go for it...certainly won't hurt you.

I have the JX6 mounted on an 8' Seeker...awesome on 15#-40# fish and although I haven't tested it in the following situation I would have confidence in it offshore on much larger species.
