Avet Reels for YT/WSB - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Racksticker · 11-11-2014, 02:27 PM

Lipripper / Robfish - This is really good additional info.

I've dissected the Avet chart on Tackle Direct and changed my reel selection from two Avet 2-speed w/ MC reels, (SX & MX), to the single-speed SXJ & MXJ w/ no MC models. This saves me quite a bit of cash ;-)

Initially I was trying to accomplish the goal of using these Avet's for both Kayak fishing and boat fishing. I looked again at all my rod & reel inventory at home. I decided I have enough single and 2-speed reels with heavier rods for boat trips, so I can use these 2 new Avets and Seeker Pinheads primarily for my kayak.

Over the years, I try to pass along money saving / hunting tips to the newbies to duck & deer hunting. Now being a newbie to kayak fishing, it's great having all you *salty-dudes* pass your years of knowledge down the Sewer.....Pipe ;-) (Still trying to figure out what is behind the Team Sewer thing, cracks me up)

Thanks much!!!!!!

Not sure what your active count on security tokens is, but to find out the origin of team sewer I think you have to spend about 20-30 tokens. Someone might be able to chime in on this...??

I can confirm that the sxj is a bad ass little reel. It's basically good for about 80-90% of the fishing I do on my kayak. Live bait fishing, for halibut, seabass, black seabass, leopard shark, mud marlin, bat rays, yellowtail it works just fine.

Now fishing a jig....not so much, not saying it wont work but a bigger reel is definitely in order.

Now whats behind team sewer...?

Fun and a lot of it!

Charkbait.com has the same price as Tackledirect, but charkbait has specials with free 300yds braid or mono...FYI save a few pennies on line...I think they offer other options if you don't need line...

I personally am always glad to help out, as are most.
As far as my personal setups, it took my years to truly dial it in. For some setups, I like an all-glass rod, others a little graphite added in helps out. Sometimes for increased feel, sometimes for more power.
Ful-rac nailed it on the head, this is all just fun. Nothing but a good time, and good friends. Not really a whole lot more to it than that.
What's behind the Lollipop Guild? Just catch a fish to find out. Easy as that.
Now, security tokens are a whole different story. Just sayin'.
