avet g2 jx lever drag reels 6/3 Two Speed Reel - Right-Hand strong fish even more enjoyable Avet MXL G2 5.8 MC

There doesnt seem to be a more prolific game fish species along the East Coast than the mighty striped bass

For those on a budget, this is a great reel

It features many of the same high-end technology found in the pricier Shimano reels on this list, including MicroModule gearing, X-Ship, and the SVS Infinity braking system

Not only did the reels survive banging around in my kayak and lying on the deck between casts, but constant exposure to salt and marsh mud with an occasional rainwater rinse

If the line breaks or the spool continues rotating after the lure drops to the ground, the brake is too tight

The reel seat cinches down firmly, the guides dont bend, the inserts havent fallen out and rod tip has held up excellently
