Avet MXJ 5.8 Star Drag Conventional Reels
The Avet MXJ 5.8 Star Drag line of reels incorporates a star drag opposed to the traditional lever-drag associated with these reels. The 5.8 size is perfect for inshore and lighter offshore applications alike. The aluminum star wheel tends to be easier to adjust to the preferred drag pressure. The narrow spool holds roughly 470 yards of 50 lb braid, which is perfect for bottom fishing, jigging and slow jigging applications. All aluminum body, stainless steel gears and eight sealed ball bearings make for a sturdy reel.
***Please note, adding the Magic Cast feature increases the price of the reel by $40***
To have your reel professionally spooled for only the cost of the line itself*, feel free to visit our Braided Line Per-Yard page or try some of our customers' favorite lines below!
*All reels will be backed with 20lb Clear Berkley Trilene Big Game Monofilament to fill the spool at no additional cost if the ordered length of braid alone does not fill the spool. To have your reel spooled with straight braid, either: 1. Order a quantity of braid that will overfill the spool and we will refund the difference, or 2. Contact Us with your request and we will promptly spool your reel and contact you with the exact length of braid to add to your order. For more detailed spooling instructions, such as the additions of leaders or topshots using specific knots, crimps, and/or hollow core splices, please Contact Us as well. If you can dream it, we can rig it!
