Larger Avet

Keta · Mar-08-2006, 10:41 AM

I'm thinking that I want a larger reel and have been looking at a Penn International 70VS. I'd rather let Avet get my $$$.$$ though and a friend said he thought Avet was planing on introducing a reel larger than the EX Pro 50W. Does anyone out there know if this is true?

T-Rx Quad, it allegedly has 100#'s of drag.

PM Rick , the Avet rep. He'll fill you in on what's going on.

Dos,
The T-REX has the same line capacity as the Pro 50W. I'm looking for larger not stronger. I'm not a big fan of wide reels (my Avet 50 is a SDS but I have a Penn 50SW) so going to the Pro50W is not my first option.

Weazel,
I figured Rick would want some R&R after the FH show and I'm not in a big hurry on this reel, sometime before the end of this summer.

Rick still doesnt get any rest. I believe he will be up there at Del Mar as well.

I'd personally give you the info but I don't know if it's suppose to be public. Just talk to him when you get a chance. I think you'll be happy with his response.

K, Thanks.

WOW!? You talking capacity like an 80 right?

Keta · Mar-08-2006, 06:30 PM

About the same as a 50W but a narrow reel.

They are coming out with a 80W and 130W reels per the boys at Avet.
