Party boat tuna tackle question

[rumster]

Just my 2 cents based upon owning 4 Avet reels. Even though the ones I own are not the models you are considering. I have to say that Avet`s for the most part are crap, I wouldn't spend another dime on them. Like most I was attracted to the machine tooled look and that they were made in the USA, but they have a well documented history of the bearings going on them and the company is well aware of it. I have spent hundreds of dollars servicing them over the years.....These reels are not cheap and there are definitely better options for the money.
