Avet service

[sportfishingusa]

how much fishing do you guys do that you need to service these things? I got a blue sx from about 8 years ago, just repleaced ONE bearing for the first time ever, never even greased the thing, caught tons of fish, have had drop locked down to easy, never a problem.. I can not even tell you the last time i had one services, for 149.00 bucks, just use them and do not hose them down and you will be fine.

I service mine once a year and have only wiped out one bearing to date. The radial bearing would give you more drag than the stock Avet which is what most people dislike about these reels when compared to higher end reels.
