Which avet reel/ rod would be right?

spiderjohn · 02-03-2008, 08:41 AM

Looking to get into deep water big fish. Looking at the Avet ProEXW50 and want to know any experiences. Is this good reel or overkill for this area? I have Senator 113h and Penn 320 GTi for bottom/coastal trolling. Want to get a setup that can handle the bigger stuff. Also, seen combos with Crowder rods with the 50 for $800. IS the rod any good or a rip off? It retails for $275. Any advice?

I use an Avet EX 4/02 for bottom fishing and love it.

I have 2 Avet LX6.0 I use bottom fishing and they seem to handle anything you can throw at them. If you are looking for something to catch bigger bottom fish these avets are way stouter than the penns. If looking for pelagics the avet 30 class are awesome also. With braided line can hold plenry for offshore without the weight of the larger reels.
