Ehhhh aswell....!

Mr Harry Barker tempted me quite a bit there, and a may just buy one of these reels, but when u say cracked in half and snapped, are you talking about the avet reel or summit else???

[neil1964]

Looks a great reel to me and defo would like to handle one.

That's not a lever drag mate it looks to me the drag is in the centre of the handle...that big chrome knurled nut.The lever is the free spool selector just like the penn 525.

It will be a cast aluminum frame same as the diawa 7hts so nice and ridged frame.

Magnet controlled so no reason why this reel carnt cast a long way.....I like it.
Can I ask who is the UK importer please, oh
and thanks for putting the pics up...cheers H

Looking at it again the drag might be like the triton reels adjustable tension on the selector level so could be some what of a level drag yes. but nowt wrong with that.

Yes Harry, it's similar to the shimano reels from a few years back in that respect. When you hold one in your hands and have fiddle with it, you know you then you want one.

Hehehehe, a get the idea buddy

[Durham-Lad]

Stan.....why did you get them with the mags out mate ? Must admit they do look nice and have a 50/50 split so far as to whether they can produce or not.

Must admit if I was ever to get one it would be black

[mick dunn]

I,m sure they sell them in Boyes.





Ha Ha only joking looks cracking piece of kit.

[lobsterman]

tarty bling best left on the shelf.

[mardenq]

makes you laugh when people give neg coments and they aint seen one never mind used one.look on wsff loads of lads got rid of there 525s to get the sx 5.3.much better made reel(made in usa)where 525s used to be made

[mick]

Totally agree with you mardenq. Makes me laugh when people offer opinions on rods/reels etc when they have never actually used, seen or tried out the said bit of kit. Horses for courses and each to there own.

[fish fingers]

what i meant was the handles on the 525,s and i no of a few people,s 525,s have cracked or broken in half literally had no problems with the avets can,t fault them at the moment thats why i got another1. Edd i got the ones without the mags this time as they where cheaper and on my other avet with the mags in i can cast it with the lowest setting of mag brakes on mind i have got thicker oil in to control it [bling! bling! bling! what a tackle tart i am all the gear no idea could,nt catch a fish to save me life.
