Adam F Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) I bought a pair of these From these guys: http://www.rokmax.com/product.php?prodid=1...X+Series+Reels+ Ive been looking for a decent reel to replace the Abu 7000 NLD's ive been using for a while now. Whilst the Abu's are OK, they are not a patch on the Swedish Abu's of old. I dont buy tackle on a whim, but prefer to find kit and stick to it.... and these Avet's fit the bill prefect. I'm fact I couldnt have designed a reel better myself. Tom B said he found them too slow - well they out cranked both Bob's Abu hi-speed 7 and Al's Shimano Tyrnos yesterday, so not slow at all! The drag adjuster can only be moved when the reel is out of gear - a nice touch that my Abu's lacked as frequent use of the Lever often meant your drag setting was changed. Super smooth, no 'clicky, click' like the Shimano's have. They feel very 'ergonomic' - just a joy to use, and Ive now found my perfect reel. The only downside is that it's going to be expensive and I'll need another 3 to tool up my 12lb class gear!
