Avet HXJ Reels

The Avet HXJ Raptor 2-Speed Lever Drag Reel is Avet's heavy-duty narrow-frame big game reel, featuring the patented dual carbon fiber drag system that delivers twice the drag output of the standard series — up to 40 lbs at strike and 50 lbs at full. Built on a true one-piece 6061-T6 marine-grade aluminum frame, the HXJ Raptor is designed for targeting large tuna, yellowfin, bluefin, and other powerful offshore gamefish in the 50–100 lb line class. The MC Cast Control System provides 5 magnetic settings for precise spool control. Available in right and left hand retrieve (Silver LH). Made in USA.

HX Series Raptor Comparison

The Avet HXJ 5/2 Raptor Plus MC is Avet's heavy-duty two-speed lever drag reel built for serious trophy big game fishing. CNC-machined from solid 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in Avet's multi-color (MC) anodized coating, it pairs the narrow HXJ profile with the upgraded Raptor carbon fiber drag system — delivering massive, consistent drag pressure through extended battles with bluefin tuna, marlin, and other large offshore gamefish.

The 5.0:1 high gear lets you gain line on running fish and work lures efficiently. Drop into the 2.4:1 low gear when a trophy fish sounds or makes a deep run and you need maximum cranking power. Available in right and left hand retrieve. Made in California.
