So looks like I've got it down to the Avet SX 6/4 which I intend to use for chunking and jigging fluke and stripers on a 7' medium heavy Kevin Brogan rod with a gimbal! (I called and I was already getting a rubber gimbal...but worth asking!)

Any last thoughts before I pull the trigger? I don't mind having my mind changed...

IMO the 2 speed on a reel that size is a waste of $

Garone Custom Rods, I was kind of hoping for thoughts on that, but was hoping it would just come up.

Seems like jigging and chunking doesn't really require a 2-speed setup...but didn't know if I was missing something.

Thanks for that.

Won't comment on the reel--that's been pretty well covered & you're getting your rods. If, however you should get into blue water fishing, consider an acid wrapped rod---torque problem is eliminated even with a wide spool reel. It acts like a spinning rod...line's on the bottom side of rod...I wouldn't give up the three I have...my 2 cents......

Yes Walt, if you're getting your rod built by Kevin--his last name is Bogan!

Thank you, guys.

And thank you for the correction on "Bogan". I appreciate that.

I agree the 2 speed SX is a waste. Go with the standard SX G2 single speed non-mc. If you wait a little while different colors will soon be available.

I think you are better off with a Penn Fathom 30LD or Marquesa MA20 or MA30
