I have all of the Avet reels all in raptor, I love them, BUT the Raptors have a lot of drag so fine tuning them can be tricky and its easy to put too much drag on the fish if your not checking them constantly throughout the fight, ESPECIALLY when you have 65% or more line out, because your drag naturally increases due to less leverage on the spool....I say save your money and skip the raptor, unless you really need to stop something really big and mean for most of your fishing trips, tight lines and good luck with your final choice.

You don't need it. You already have a SX Raptor that can do what you need. Admit it. You just want us to tell you it's ok to spend your money. Lol
