Throwing around the Iron.. recommendations?

[Billy V]

Have you cleaned the spool bearings recently ? The avets don't like the kayak environment.

That combo should throw far.
-------------------------
You could try a saltist 6.4:1 ratio, or a sealine 6:1 both of these reels cast excellent and handle the kayak environment.

Izor XXX is good line, and so is Izor 1st. string. Both of them break way higher than their line rating.
You could drop down to 30 lb. and still land most fish in the ocean.

is it an mc model avet? have you serviced it lately? mine (non mc) cast pretty well

It's an Avet JX with MC, have had it for two seasons now (lightly used). Will check on the bearings but as mentioned already probably just need a lot more practice throwing from the yak.

i had the jx mc, and noticed that it limited my distance too, (because the mc works.....) i bought a new frame only from avet direct for about 40 bucks, only 3 screws and its swapped out. otherwise id say turn it to "1" and practice at the park like these guys suggest. dont forget to wet the line at the park

The magnet pops right out, no need for a new frame. Take it out and you will be amazed at the difference.

Avet mag cast sucks. Even at 1 it's too much and you can't turn it all the way off.

I've been practicing at shelter Island off the rocks sitting down, definitely need to practice alot.
