A little to technical for me, what I do know is that since my first experience with an Avet three years ago it seems that each new year brings design impotents: sealed vs open bearings, more two speed models, etc.. I think they listen to people and make design changes each year. Sitting here I checked the freespool detent between my 2003 SX and my 2004 MX and the older reel definitely takes more pressure to get it where it needs to go. I always thought the thing with Avet was the incredible freespool. I was over at bushmans house yesterday and we were testing his new LX. got the spool to spin for 2min 30sec+ by pull starting with a 2ft piece of line.

You would think I was one of their salesmen. Are you going to the rod building class at Orcas house tomorrow? I have four different size Avets made over the past three years if you want to compare.
