Avet JX Reels

Narrow-Spool Raptor Power for Versatile Offshore Fishing

The Avet JX Raptor 2-Speed Lever Drag Reel combines a taller, narrower JX spool with the extra authority of Avet’s Raptor dual carbon fiber drag system. With up to 28 lb at strike and 38 lb at full, plus 6.3:1 high and 3.8:1 low gears, it gives you the speed to recover line and the leverage to stay in control when a fish turns deep.

When a yellowtail, tuna, or other hard-pulling fish changes direction near the boat, the JX Raptor’s narrow profile and two-speed control help you keep the reel comfortable and the fight organized. MC cast control with five magnetic settings makes casting more manageable, while the one-piece 6061-T6 marine-grade aluminum frame and nine stainless steel bearings are built for demanding saltwater use. Available in right- and left-hand retrieve. Made in the USA.

Why the Narrow JX Profile Works

The JX spool is taller and narrower than the more compact MX-style platform, which helps with line management and increases retrieve efficiency. That makes the JX Raptor a strong all-rounder for anglers who move between casting, live bait, vertical jigging, and deep drops instead of fishing only one presentation.

High Gear to Chase, Low Gear to Turn

• 6.3:1 high gear: Recover line quickly when a fish runs toward the boat or when a lure needs a faster retrieve.
• 3.8:1 low gear: Add cranking leverage when a fish circles, sounds, or pulls against heavy current.
• Raptor dual carbon fiber drag: Apply smooth, consistent pressure through a long fight.
• MC cast control: Use five magnetic settings to manage spool speed and casting control.

The Right Pick If...

• You target yellowtail, tuna, and other mid-range to hard-pulling saltwater species.
• You want a narrow-spool reel with 2-speed control for both casting and vertical fishing.
• You need more listed drag authority than the standard JX platform provides.
• You prefer MC cast control, right- or left-hand retrieve, and a USA-made reel.
• You want a reel that sits between compact MX-style options and larger offshore platforms.

Best Techniques and Conditions

• Live-bait fishing: Use MC control to manage the cast, then use high gear to recover line when a fish changes direction.
• Vertical jigging: Work the presentation in high gear and shift low when a fish turns the hookup into a heavy pull.
• Deep drops: Use the taller spool and low gear to maintain steady pressure as fish move below the boat.
• Nearshore and offshore saltwater: The hard-anodized aluminum frame and stainless steel components suit regular saltwater use.

Narrow-Spool Versatility for Yellowtail, Tuna, and Offshore Work

The Avet JX G2 Lever Drag Reel gives anglers a taller, narrower platform with the speed, line capacity, and drag control to handle a wide range of saltwater techniques. Its 6.3:1 high gear helps you recover line quickly, while the 3.8:1 low gear gives you extra leverage when a fish circles, sounds, or turns against the rod.

The JX G2 is a practical step up when a compact MX-style reel is not enough, but you still want a reel that is comfortable to cast, jig, and fish vertically. With 65 lb braid capacity to 400 yards, up to 21 lb at strike and 28 lb at full, MC cast control with five magnetic settings, and a true one-piece 6061-T6 aluminum frame, it is built for serious mid-range saltwater work. Made in the USA.

Why the JX Profile Matters

The taller, narrower spool helps the JX retrieve more line per crank and keeps line management more controlled when respooling. That geometry is useful when you are moving between vertical jigging, casting, live bait, and fast line recovery during a yellowtail or tuna fight.

Speed for the Cast, Leverage for the Fight

• 6.3:1 high gear: Recover line quickly and work a presentation efficiently.
• 3.8:1 low gear: Add cranking leverage when a fish circles near the boat or pulls deep.

Ultra-Low Winch Power in a Compact, Castable JX Frame

The Avet Winch JX 6/3S puts three useful gear ranges and up to 70 lb of drag into a compact conventional reel. Use the 6.3:1 high gear to cover water and recover line, the 3.8:1 middle gear for steady pressure, and the ultra-low 2.0:1 winch gear when a big fish sounds and refuses to move.

When you need more muscle without jumping to a much larger reel, the Winch JX 6/3S gives you a balanced, fishable setup built around a one-piece 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum frame and stainless steel internals. It is made for bluefin and yellowfin tuna, yellowtail, amberjack, grouper, snapper, rockfish, heavy trolling, deep drops, and long-range rail work. Designed and manufactured in Chatsworth, California.

Three Gears for Three Very Different Problems

• 6.3:1 high gear: Cover water, work surface irons, and regain line when a fish runs toward the boat.
• 3.8:1 middle gear: Keep a balanced retrieve and steady pressure on a circling fish.
• 2.0:1 winch gear: Add ultra-low cranking power when a fish sounds or bogs down under heavy drag.
• Push-button shifting: Change gears on the fly without losing focus on the fight.

When a Compact Reel Needs Serious Muscle

The Winch JX 6/3S solves the gap between a standard compact reel and a much larger big-game setup. Its compact JX-sized housing remains castable and manageable, while the three-speed transmission gives you the leverage to work fish out of deep water, heavy current, and structure.

The Right Pick If...

• You want a compact conventional reel with three-speed control.
• You need up to 70 lb of listed drag for powerful offshore fish.
• You target bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, yellowtail, amberjack, grouper, snapper, or rockfish.
• You fish live bait, deep jigs, deep drops, heavy trolling, or long-range rail setups.
• You want high-speed line recovery and an ultra-low winch gear in the same reel.

Best Techniques and Conditions

• Live-bait tuna fishing: Use high gear to recover line during a run, then shift to middle or winch gear as the fish settles deep.
• Vertical jigging: Work the jig in high gear and use winch gear to maintain pressure after the hookup.
• Deep drops: The 2.0:1 winch ratio gives you the leverage to work fish upward from depth.
• Heavy trolling: Use the gear that matches the fish’s direction, keeping the low range ready when the battle gets close and heavy.
• Structure fishing: Apply steady low-gear pressure to keep amberjack, grouper, and other fish from reaching cover.

Where It Fits in the Avet Lineup

The Winch JX 6/3S is the compact three-speed choice when ultra-low cranking power matters. For a standard JX 2-speed Raptor with MC cast control, compare the Avet JX Raptor.

Three-Speed Adaptability for Demanding Offshore Fights

The Avet Raptor Plus MC 3 Speed Reel gives serious offshore anglers three ways to manage a changing fight. Use high speed to recover line from a running fish, medium speed for balanced pressure, and low speed when a trophy fish sounds or turns the battle into a heavy grind.

When one gear ratio is not enough for the day ahead, the Raptor Plus 3 Speed lets you adapt at the rail without changing reels. Its Raptor carbon fiber drag, CNC-machined 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum construction, stainless steel components, sealed bearings, and MC anodized finish are built for tuna, marlin, sailfish, wahoo, dorado, grouper, amberjack, and other offshore gamefish. Made in California.

One Reel, Three Useful Moments in the Fight

• High speed: Gain line quickly when a fish runs toward the boat or when you need to move a lure efficiently.
• Medium speed: Keep the retrieve balanced during the long middle section of a fight.
• Low speed: Apply maximum cranking power when a fish sounds or needs to be worked up from depth.
• Smooth shifting: Change speeds as the fish’s direction, depth, and pressure change.

What a Single Gear Setup Can’t Do

Offshore fish rarely fight at one speed. A fast run, a steady circle, and a deep turn each ask something different from the reel. The Raptor Plus 3 Speed solves that mismatch by giving you a high, medium, and low option, so you can recover line quickly without giving up leverage when the fight gets heavy.

The Right Pick If...

• You want three-speed control for offshore big-game fishing.
• You target tuna, marlin, sailfish, wahoo, dorado, grouper, or amberjack.
• You fish long-range trips, trolling, kite fishing, deep-water jigging, or live bait.
• You want Raptor drag performance and an MC multi-color anodized finish.
• You prefer a Black or Silver configuration, as currently listed.

Best Techniques and Conditions

• Long-range tuna: Use high speed during a fast run, medium speed for steady pressure, and low speed when the fish settles deep.
• Trolling for marlin and sailfish: Match the gear to the fish’s direction, keeping low speed ready for a close-range grind.
• Kite fishing: High speed helps recover line quickly while medium speed keeps pressure controlled through the longer fight.
• Deep-water jigging and bottom fishing: Use low speed to work trophy grouper and amberjack up from depth.

Where It Fits in the Avet Lineup

The Raptor Plus 3 Speed is the versatile MC-finish option when you want three gear ranges in one offshore reel. For a large HXW platform with three-speed control, compare the Avet HXW 5/3 Raptor Plus. For a No-MC HXW 3-speed Raptor, see the Avet HXW 3/S Raptor. For a narrower 2-speed setup, compare the Avet JX Raptor.
