But the best thing of all (which is why I will NEVER own an AVET) is that I put all my shit away last year, forgot to clean it. Pulled it all out a few weeks ago, wioed it all down, changed the drags, and they're all like brand new. I am horrible at maintanence so my Newells work perfect for me. |
Dude, Avets are aluminum and SS. Newells are SS, chrome plated whatever, and who knows what the frame nuts are made of. Disimilar stuff all over the place. Brass gears too. Some of the worst maintenance I've seen a reel endure was/is on an AccuCrap. I've got buddy's that rinse them with a hose and call it good. It's all I do with the addition of Salt Eliminator now that I have the stuff.
Hey Stan, those Luna's are sweet!
