Secure Your Avet Reel to the Rod
Avet Reel Clamp Kits add a solid, corrosion-resistant connection between a compatible conventional reel and rod. The hardware is precision-machined from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade billet aluminum, then anodized for saltwater durability and a clean color-matched finish.
Choose the correct kit type and reel-size group before ordering. The current variants are labeled for SX/MXJ/MXL, JX/LX/HX, or EX models. The listed compatibility options do not include SXJ, HXJ, or HXW, so confirm fitment before placing an order for those reel families.
Keep the Reel Stable When the Fight Gets Heavy
A deckhand rod or conventional setup may not give your reel the support you need on its own. A properly matched clamp helps keep the reel seated and reduces unwanted movement while you troll, fish bait, work a jig, or lean into a hard-pulling saltwater fish.
Choose the Hardware That Matches Your Reel
- Screw Set: Replacement screws only for the SX, MXJ, and MXL compatibility group.
- Stud and Nut Set: Replacement studs and nuts for the JX, LX, and HX compatibility group.
- EX Stud and Nut Set: Replacement studs and nuts for EX-series reels.
- Colored Clamp Kit: A full anodized clamp with hook/jig holder. Screws and tools are not included.
- Color options: Multiple anodized finishes are listed across the compatible reel-size groups.
The Right Pick If...
- You need replacement clamp hardware for a compatible Avet reel.
- You fish a deckhand rod or conventional rod setup without a reel seat.
- You want a full clamp rather than a replacement screw or stud-and-nut set.
- You want to match the clamp finish to a Silver, Gunmetal, Red, Blue, Purple, Green, Gold, or Black reel setup where listed.
- You have checked the variant title against your exact Avet reel family before ordering.
Best For
- Offshore trolling and stand-up big-game fishing.

Tackle Express Tips
- Match the exact reel-family wording in the variant title before adding a clamp or replacement hardware.
- Add a small amount of grease to the threads so the hardware seats securely and is easier to remove later.
- Keep spare screws or studs with the reel in your Avet Reel Bag so a small hardware problem does not end the trip.

Store the reel and spare hardware together in the Avet Reel Bags. Before ordering, use the Avet Reels Buyer’s Guide to identify your reel family, then compare the Avet HX Raptor or Avet SX Raptor listings for model context.
Avet Reel Cover is a form-fitting neoprene case that protects your reel while it is mounted on the rod or stored between trips. The hook-and-loop handle band keeps the cover secure, while the top ring gives you a handy place to clip a lure or hook without removing the reel.
Keep Your Reel Protected Between Trips
Salt spray, deck scuffs, and tackle-room clutter can make a good reel look rough fast. This soft neoprene cover adds a practical layer of protection without the bulk of a hard case, and five size options make it easy to match the cover to compact baitcasters, Avet SX reels, or larger offshore models.
Why This Cover Earns a Spot in the Tackle Bag
- Form-fitting neoprene: Cushions the reel and helps protect the finish during transport and storage.
- Hook-and-loop handle band: Wraps around the handle to help keep the cover in place.
- Top lure ring: Clip a lure or hook while the reel stays on the rod.
- Five size choices: Covers the Avet range from SX through EX50 and EXW50.
- Broad compatibility: The Small size also fits many low-profile baitcasters, including Daiwa 300 and Shimano Curado models.
Choose the Right Size
Match the cover to the reel family below. If your reel is between sizes or from another brand, compare its overall profile with the fit guide before ordering.

Tackle Express Tips
- Measure or compare your reel profile before ordering if you are using a brand or model outside the listed Avet fit guide.
- Let the cover dry fully after a saltwater trip before storing the reel for an extended period.
- For a more secure rod setup, pair the cover with the Avet Reel Clamp Kit and keep the reel protected during transport.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which size fits an Avet SX reel?
The Small cover is listed for all Avet SX reels.
Can I use this cover on another reel brand?
Yes. It is custom-made for Avet reels but also fits many other brands. The Small size is specifically noted as a fit for low-profile baitcasters such as Daiwa 300 and Shimano Curado models.
Does the cover stay on while the reel is mounted?
Yes. The hook-and-loop band wraps around the handle to help secure the cover, and the top ring lets you clip a lure or hook while the reel remains on the rod.
Protect Your Avet Reels Between Trips
Avet Reel Bags are padded, soft-sided cases built to keep reels organized and protected during travel, storage, and transport to the boat. Heavy-duty black nylon, movable padded dividers, multiple zippered pockets, and a removable shoulder strap turn a pile of reels and accessories into a setup you can carry with confidence.
Open the bag at the dock and everything has a place: reels in padded compartments, leaders and tools in the zippered pockets, and the shoulder strap ready when you need both hands free. The front carries a color-embroidered Avet marlin logo, and both sizes are designed around practical reel storage rather than wasted space.
Stop Letting Reels and Accessories Travel Loose
Unprotected reels can knock against each other, while leaders, manuals, and small tools disappear into separate boxes. The Avet Reel Bag solves that everyday organization problem with adjustable compartments and dedicated pocket space, so your gear stays together from the truck to the rail.
Built for Travel, Storage, and Quick Organization
- Padded nylon construction: Adds a protective layer around reels during transport and storage.
- Movable padded dividers: Hook-and-loop dividers let you configure the main cargo area around your reel setup.
- Multiple zippered pockets: Keep leaders, tools, manuals, and accessories organized.
- Adjustable shoulder strap: Wide, comfortable, removable, and fitted with quick-release buckles.
- Heavy-duty black nylon: Made for regular travel to and from saltwater trips.
- Avet marlin logo: Color-embroidered on the front.
The Right Size If...
- Choose Small when you need a compact case for up to six reels and six pockets.
- Choose Large when you need more room for up to ten reels, ten pockets, and the listed zippered expansion seam.
- You want one organized case instead of loose reel boxes, leaders, and accessories.
- You regularly travel to the boat, long-range landing, tackle room, or storage locker.

Mid-Frame Raptor Power for Bigger Offshore Fish
The Avet LX Raptor 2-Speed Lever Drag Reel steps up from the MXL with a higher listed drag range and a mid-frame platform built for serious offshore work. Its dual Avedrag carbon fiber system delivers up to 28 lb of drag at strike and 38 lb at full, while the 6.3:1 high gear and 3.0:1 low gear give you both fast line pickup and heavy-fish cranking power.
Built around a true one-piece 6061-T6 marine-grade aluminum frame, the LX Raptor is designed to stay solid when a larger tuna, yellowtail, or other offshore gamefish turns the fight into a pressure test. The listed models use MC cast control with five magnetic settings and include right-hand color choices plus a left-hand Silver option. Made in the USA.
When the MXL Is Not Quite Enough
The LX Raptor is for anglers who want more authority than a compact MXL platform without jumping straight to the largest reel in the Avet lineup. The higher listed drag ceiling and mid-frame size give you more room to stay in control when a fish runs hard, uses current, or heads for structure. It is a confident choice for larger offshore targets and demanding saltwater conditions.
Speed When You Need It, Leverage When You Need More
Use high gear to recover line quickly when a fish runs toward the boat or changes direction. Shift into low gear when the fish sounds, the water gets heavy, or you need steady torque to turn it. The lever drag gives you fast, repeatable pressure adjustments, while MC cast control helps manage the spool before the hookset.
The Right Pick If...
- You want a mid-frame 2-speed reel with up to 28 lb at strike and 38 lb at full.
- You fish for larger tuna, yellowtail, and other hard-pulling offshore gamefish.
- You want a wider step up from the MXL with high- and low-gear control.
- You prefer MC cast control with five magnetic settings.
- You need right-hand color options or the listed left-hand Silver model.
Where It Fits in the Avet Lineup
The LX Raptor is the mid-frame step up for anglers who want more drag authority than the MXL. For a more compact platform with a lower listed drag range, compare the Avet MXL Raptor. For an ultra-compact option, see the Avet SX Raptor. If you want even more offshore-focused capacity and power, compare the Avet MXL 6/3 Raptor Plus MC.
Best Techniques and Conditions
- Offshore live bait: Use high gear to recover line during a fast run, then shift to low gear when you need steady pressure.
- Jigging: High gear helps work and recover a presentation, while low gear gives you more leverage after the hookset.
- Structure-oriented saltwater fishing: The higher listed drag range and low gear help you keep pressure on fish trying to turn toward cover.
- Big-game offshore trips: Choose the LX when a compact reel is not enough and a mid-frame setup is the better balance.
The LX Raptor is built for anglers who want a serious offshore reel that can move quickly, slow down under load, and stay comfortable enough to fish all day.
Key Features
- Dual Avedrag carbon fiber drag: Up to 28 lb at strike and 38 lb at full.
- 2-speed gearing: 6.3:1 high gear and 3.0:1 low gear.
- MC Cast Control: Five magnetic settings on the listed MC models.
- One-piece 6061-T6 aluminum frame: Precision-machined for strength and corrosion resistance.
- Raptor bearing package: Nine stainless steel ball bearings.
- Machined stainless steel gears and silent anti-reverse: Confident cranking under load.
- Lever drag with strike preset: Make repeatable pressure adjustments during the fight.
- Included accessories: Matching machined aluminum rod clamp, alarm clicker, and large soft-touch handle knob.
- Hard-anodized finish: Added protection for saltwater use.
- Made in USA.

Tackle Express Tips
- Use high gear while a fish is moving toward the boat, then shift to low gear when you need maximum torque.
- Start with a moderate MC setting and fine-tune it for your lure, line, and casting conditions instead of over-tightening the spool.
- Set your strike position before the trip and use smooth lever movement so you can return to a familiar pressure setting during the fight.
FAQ
Does the Avet LX Raptor come in left-hand retrieve?
Yes. The listed lineup includes a left-hand Silver model, along with right-hand Gunmetal, Blue, Black, Silver, and Gold models.
What is the difference between the LX Raptor and MXL Raptor?
The LX is the larger mid-frame step up, with up to 28 lb at strike and 38 lb at full. The MXL is a more compact platform with a lower listed drag range. Compare the MXL Raptor if you want a smaller setup.
How do I compare Avet reel sizes and series?

Mid-Frame Power for Serious Offshore Fights
The Avet HX Raptor 2-Speed Lever Drag Reel is the standard-width choice in the HX family, balancing a substantial frame with the control of a 2-speed drivetrain. Its dual Avedrag carbon fiber system delivers up to 40 lb of drag at strike and 50 lb at full, while the 5.4:1 high gear and 1.9:1 low gear give you speed for line recovery and torque for the heavy part of the fight.
Built around a true one-piece 6061-T6 marine-grade aluminum frame, the HX Raptor is made for anglers targeting larger tuna, yellowtail, and other hard-pulling offshore gamefish. The lineup includes MC and no-MC configurations, right-hand color options, and a left-hand Silver MC model. Made in the USA.
When a Smaller Reel Leaves You Short
Compact reels are comfortable, but bigger offshore fish can expose their limits quickly. The HX Raptor gives you a wider standard HX platform, a higher listed drag range, and an 80 lb braid capacity of up to 500 yards in the current product specifications. It is a strong middle ground when you need serious stopping power without moving to the wider HXW platform.
Fast Recovery, Heavy-Gear Leverage
Use high gear when a fish runs toward the boat or you need to remove slack quickly. Shift to low gear when the fish sounds, current loads the line, or you need steady pressure near structure. The lever drag and strike preset keep pressure changes deliberate and repeatable, while MC models add five magnetic settings for spool control before the hookset.
The Right Pick If...
- You want a standard-width HX platform with up to 40 lb at strike and 50 lb at full.
- You fish for larger tuna, yellowtail, and other demanding offshore gamefish.
- You need the listed 80 lb braid capacity of up to 500 yards.
- You want to choose between MC and no-MC configurations.
- You need right-hand color choices or the listed left-hand Silver MC model.
Where It Fits in the Avet Lineup
The HX Raptor is the standard-width option in the HX family. For a more compact mid-frame reel, compare the Avet LX Raptor. For a narrower HXJ setup, see the Avet HXJ Raptor. If you need the wider spool and larger HXW platform, compare the Avet HXW Raptor.
Best Techniques and Conditions
- Offshore live bait: Use high gear to recover line during a fast run, then shift low when the fish digs deep.
- Heavy jigging: High gear helps with lure work and line pickup, while low gear gives you leverage after the hookset.
- Structure-oriented saltwater fishing: The 40/50 lb listed drag range helps you maintain pressure when a fish turns toward cover.
- Long-range and offshore trips: The standard-width frame and 80 lb/500 yd capacity make the HX a practical step up from smaller Raptor platforms.
Choose the HX Raptor when you need serious drag power, a useful line-capacity target, and two-speed control in a standard-width offshore reel.
Key Features
- Dual Avedrag carbon fiber drag: Up to 40 lb at strike and 50 lb at full.
- 2-speed gearing: 5.4:1 high gear and 1.9:1 low gear.

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.
Where It Fits in the Avet Lineup
The JX Raptor is the narrow-spool, 2-speed Raptor choice with MC cast control and a 28/38 lb listed drag range. For a G2 JX platform with a more moderate 21/28 lb drag range, compare the Avet JX G2. For a more compact Raptor platform, see the Avet MXL Raptor. For a larger narrow-frame option, compare the Avet HXJ Raptor.
Key Features
- Dual Avedrag carbon fiber drag: Up to 28 lb at strike and 38 lb at full.
- 2-speed gearing: 6.3:1 high and 3.8:1 low.
- MC Cast Control: Five magnetic settings for casting spool control.
- Narrow JX spool: Designed for efficient retrieve and easier line management.

Narrow-Spool Control with Raptor-Level Power
The Avet MXJ Raptor Series 2-Speed Lever Drag Reel gives saltwater anglers a narrow MXJ spool profile, powerful dual Avedrag carbon fiber drag, and the flexibility of two gear ratios in one compact setup. It delivers up to 17 lb of drag at strike and 26 lb at full, with a 6.4:1 high gear for fast line pickup and a 3.8:1 low gear for controlled cranking power.
The redesigned true one-piece 6061-T6 marine-grade aluminum frame feels rigid and dependable under load, while five magnetic MC Cast Control settings help you manage the spool when casting. Choose from right-hand models in Silver, Black, Blue, Gunmetal, or Gold, or the listed Silver left-hand model. The MXJ Raptor is made in the USA.
Why a Narrow Spool Makes a Difference
A reel can have plenty of drag and still feel awkward if the spool is difficult to manage. The MXJ profile keeps the reel comfortable to palm and helps keep line handling close to the center of the setup. When a fish changes direction, the dual carbon drag and two-speed drivetrain give you a practical way to stay connected, recover line, and apply steady pressure without reaching for a different reel.
Change Gears When the Fight Changes
High gear is useful when a fish runs toward the boat or you need to quickly remove slack. Low gear gives you more leverage when the fish digs deep, current adds resistance, or you need to turn a fish away from structure. The lever drag, ratcheting glide plate, and strike stop button make it easier to return to a familiar setting and keep your attention on the fight.
The Right Pick If...
- You want a narrow-profile conventional reel with serious saltwater drag output.
- You fish for yellowtail, white seabass, and other hard-pulling gamefish.
- You want MC cast control with five magnetic settings for spool management.
- You prefer a 2-speed reel that can move from fast line pickup to low-gear pressure.
- You want right-hand color choices or the listed left-hand Silver configuration.
Where It Fits in the Avet Lineup
The MXJ Raptor is the narrow-spool 2-speed choice in this lineup. For the compact SX platform with the same listed 17 lb strike / 26 lb full drag range, compare the Avet SX Raptor. If you want a similar compact reel with a left-hand Silver option and the SXJ frame, see the Avet SXJ Raptor. If you need a larger Raptor platform with higher listed drag output, step up to the Avet MXL Raptor.
Best Techniques and Conditions
- Offshore live bait: Start in high gear to recover line during a fast run, then shift to low gear when you need steady pressure.
- Jigging and casting: Use the five-position MC system to tune spool control for your lure, line, and casting conditions.
- Structure-oriented saltwater fishing: The narrow profile keeps the reel manageable while the dual drag and low gear help you stay in control close to cover.
The MXJ Raptor is at home on saltwater trips where compact handling, controlled casting, and 2-speed flexibility matter more than a bulky reel profile.

Wide-Profile Two-Speed Power for Trophy Offshore Fish
The Avet HX 5/2 Raptor Plus MC 2 Speed Reel is built for anglers who want wide-profile capacity, serious cranking leverage, and the confidence to stay connected when a trophy fish digs deep. Its 5.0:1 high gear helps recover line and work a presentation, while the 2.4:1 low gear gives you the leverage to keep turning during a long fight.
Picture the moment a big tuna settles into a deep run. The HX 5/2 Raptor Plus MC gives you a solid, controlled platform, a smooth lever drag, and the low-gear authority to keep pressure steady instead of fighting the reel. Precision-machined 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, stainless steel components, and a multi-color anodized finish make it a purpose-built tool for demanding saltwater work. Made in the USA.
When More Line Capacity and More Leverage Matter
The wide HX profile is the right move when a compact reel does not provide enough room or power for your plan. Choose it for long-range trips, deep-water presentations, and trophy-class tuna or billfish where a fish may take line before you can turn it. The 2-speed system lets you fish fast when the opportunity opens up, then slow down and grind when the fight gets heavy.
Fast Recovery, Heavy-Fish Control
- 5.0:1 high gear: Gain line on running fish and work or recover lures efficiently.
- 2.4:1 low gear: Apply deliberate cranking power when a fish sounds or makes a deep run.
- Smooth shifting: Move between speeds as the fight changes instead of forcing one gear to do everything.
- Lever drag control: Make quick, precise pressure adjustments while keeping your attention on the fish.
The Right Pick If...
- You fish for giant bluefin, yellowfin tuna, marlin, sailfish, or other trophy offshore species.
- You want a wide-profile reel for long-range trips and maximum line capacity.

- You fish deep-water jigs or heavy tackle for large yellowtail and white seabass.
- You prefer the distinctive MC multi-color anodized finish and a choice of right- or left-hand models.
Best Techniques and Conditions
- Long-range live bait: Use high gear to recover line during a fast run, then shift low when the fish settles into a deep pull.
- Deep-water jigging: The wide profile gives you a serious platform for deep presentations, while the two speeds help manage both retrieve and hookup pressure.
- Heavy offshore bait and trolling: Choose the HX 5/2 when large fish, long runs, and demanding saltwater conditions call for added capacity and leverage.
- Trophy billfish: Keep pressure smooth and deliberate, using low gear when the fish turns into a sustained, heavy fight.
Where It Fits in the Avet Lineup
The HX 5/2 Raptor Plus MC is the wide-profile choice for anglers who prioritize trophy-fish capacity and low-gear power. For a standard HX platform with a more compact profile, compare the Avet HX Raptor 2-Speed Reel. If you want a smaller Raptor setup, see the Avet LX Raptor.

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.
- MC cast control: Five magnetic settings help manage spool speed and reduce backlash risk when casting.
- Dry carbon fiber drag: Deliver smooth, consistent stopping power through the fight.
The Right Pick If...
- You target yellowtail, tuna, and other mid-range saltwater species.
- You want a 2-speed reel for both casting and vertical fishing.
- You need 65 lb braid capacity to 400 yards in a 25–50 lb line-class setup.
- You want a narrow spool that improves line management and retrieve efficiency.
- You prefer Blue or Silver with the listed guide-plate configuration.
Best Techniques and Conditions
- Vertical jigging: Use high gear to work and recover a jig, then shift low when a fish turns the hookup into a heavy pull.
- Live-bait fishing: Use the taller spool and MC control to manage line during a cast, then recover line quickly when a fish changes direction.
- Yellowtail and tuna fishing: The listed drag range and 25–50 lb line class suit mid-range offshore targets.
- Boat and nearshore saltwater: The corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum frame is made for regular saltwater use.

Extra-Wide Two-Speed Power for Maximum Line Capacity
The Avet HXW 5/2 Raptor Plus Non-MC 2 Speed Reel is built for trophy anglers who need an extra-wide platform, serious line capacity, and the leverage to stay in control when large offshore fish go deep. Its 5.0:1 high gear helps recover line and work lures, while the 2.4:1 low gear gives you the cranking power to keep pressure on the biggest fish.
When a long-range hookup turns into a sustained offshore battle, the HXW profile gives you room for the heavy braid and mono these applications demand. The massive spool, Raptor carbon fiber drag, CNC-machined 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum frame, stainless steel components, and corrosion-resistant finish are designed for bluefin, yellowfin, marlin, sailfish, large yellowtail, and other trophy gamefish. This is the No-MC configuration, made in California.
When Extra-Wide Capacity Earns Its Keep
The HXW 5/2 Raptor Plus is the right pick when maximum line capacity is central to the plan. Choose it for long-range trips, deep-water jigging, and trophy fish that can take line before you have a chance to turn them. The wide profile also gives you a substantial platform for heavy tackle and long, demanding fights.
Two Speeds, One Serious Offshore Job
- 5.0:1 high gear: Gain line on running fish and work or recover lures efficiently.
- 2.4:1 low gear: Apply maximum cranking power when a trophy fish sounds or stays deep.
- Smooth shifting: Change speeds as the fight moves from line recovery to heavy pressure.
- Raptor drag: Use smooth, consistent pressure through long battles.
The Right Pick If...
- You target giant bluefin, yellowfin, marlin, sailfish, large yellowtail, or other trophy offshore species.
- You need an extra-wide reel for maximum line capacity on long-range fishing trips.
- You fish heavy braid or mono and want a large spool for deep-water and big-game applications.
- You prefer direct No-MC cast-control performance.
- You want right- or left-hand retrieve options in a USA-made Raptor Plus platform.
Best Techniques and Conditions
- Long-range live bait: Use high gear to recover line during a run, then shift low when the fish settles into a deep pull.
- Deep-water jigging: Take advantage of the large spool and low gear when a heavy fish needs to be worked up from depth.
- Kite fishing and offshore bait: The extra-wide platform suits long runs and heavy line systems for trophy yellowfin and tuna.
- Heavy trolling: Use low gear for leverage when a marlin or sailfish turns a fast run into a close-range grind.
Where It Fits in the Avet Lineup
The HXW 5/2 Raptor Plus Non-MC is the extra-wide two-speed choice when maximum capacity and direct cast-control performance matter most. For a three-speed HXW platform, compare the Avet HXW 5/3 Raptor Plus. For a more compact wide-profile reel with MC finish, see the Avet HX 5/2 Raptor Plus MC.

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.

High-Speed Pickup and Low-Gear Offshore Power
The Avet MXL 6/3 Raptor Plus MC 2-Speed Reel is built for anglers who want a fast retrieve for gaining line and a powerful low gear for the heavy part of the fight. Its 6.0:1 high gear and 3.0:1 low gear let you change tactics when a fish runs, sounds, or turns toward structure, while the Raptor drag system delivers smooth, consistent pressure under load.
Precision-machined 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, stainless steel components, sealed bearings, lever drag control, and an MC multi-color anodized finish give this reel the durable, purpose-built feel serious offshore tackle demands. The lineup includes right-hand models in Silver, Blue, Black, and Gunmetal, plus a left-hand Silver model. It is made in the USA.
One Reel, Two Ways to Win the Fight
Fast gear is your advantage when a fish runs toward the boat or when you need to quickly take back slack. Low gear is where the reel earns its keep, giving you a slower, more powerful retrieve when the fish is deep and every turn of the handle matters. That change of pace is the point of the MXL 6/3 Raptor Plus MC: it gives you a direct response to what the fish is doing instead of forcing one retrieve speed through the entire fight.
Built for Long, Demanding Offshore Days
The MXL 6/3 Raptor Plus MC is designed for offshore big-game applications including tuna, marlin, wahoo, dorado, grouper, amberjack, and other hard-fighting saltwater species. Use it when the trip calls for a machined aluminum conventional reel, a reliable two-speed mechanism, and a finish and component package made for repeated saltwater use.
The Right Pick If...
- You want a dedicated offshore 2-speed reel with a fast 6.0:1 gear and powerful 3.0:1 low gear.
- You fish for tuna, marlin, wahoo, dorado, grouper, amberjack, or similar gamefish.
- You want Raptor drag performance with precise lever control.
- You value a precision-machined aluminum frame and stainless steel components.
- You want right-hand color choices or the listed left-hand Silver configuration.
Where It Fits in the Avet Lineup
The MXL 6/3 Raptor Plus MC is the offshore-focused MXL option with 6.0:1/3.0:1 gearing and a multi-color anodized finish. For the standard MXL Raptor 2-Speed with 6.4:1/3.8:1 gearing and up to 31 lb of listed full drag, compare the Avet MXL Raptor. For a single-speed G2 setup, see the Avet G2 MXL Single Speed. If you want a smaller, narrower Raptor platform, compare the Avet MXJ Raptor.
Best Techniques and Conditions
- Offshore trolling: Use high gear to gain line quickly when a fish changes direction, then shift to low gear when it turns deep.
- Live-bait fishing: The lever drag gives you quick pressure control while the two-speed system lets you match your retrieve to the fish.
- Offshore jigging: High gear helps you work a presentation and recover slack, while low gear adds leverage after the hookset.

When Simplicity Is the Advantage
Two-speed reels are incredibly versatile, but not every angler needs another control to manage during a hard fight. The G2 MXL Single Speed keeps the setup focused: set your lever drag, choose your retrieve, and rely on a proven gear train while you stay connected to the fish. It is a strong fit for offshore anglers targeting tuna, marlin, wahoo, dorado, grouper, amberjack, and other powerful gamefish.
MC or No-MC, Glide Plate or No Glide Plate
The available configurations let you match the reel to how you fish. MC models add magnetic cast-control adjustment for spool management, while no-MC models keep the casting system simpler. Glide-plate models add a useful visual and tactile reference around the lever, while the no-glide-plate option keeps the configuration more minimal.
The Right Pick If...
- You prefer the reliability and straightforward operation of a single-speed reel.
- You fish offshore for tuna, marlin, wahoo, dorado, grouper, or amberjack.
- You want a machined aluminum lever drag reel built for serious saltwater use.
- You want to choose between MC and no-MC spool-control configurations.
- You need a right-hand model or the listed left-hand Silver configuration.
Where It Fits in the Avet Lineup
The G2 MXL Single Speed is the simplicity-first option in this group. If you want two-speed flexibility and up to 31 lb of listed full drag, compare the Avet MXL Raptor. For a narrow-spool 2-speed platform, see the Avet MXJ Raptor. If you want the larger MXL 6/3 Raptor Plus MC platform, compare the Avet MXL 6/3 Raptor Plus MC.
Best Techniques and Conditions
- Live bait: A single-speed retrieve keeps the presentation and the fight simple when you are working live bait offshore.
- Trolling: The lever drag and machined aluminum construction suit anglers who want a dependable conventional reel for sustained pressure.
- Offshore jigging: MC configurations give you a way to tune spool control for casting and lure work, while the single-speed design keeps operation direct.
- Big-game setups: Choose this platform when reliability and a focused control layout matter more to you than shifting between high and low gear.
Because the available models use different MC, glide-plate, and retrieve configurations, review the model table before choosing your reel.

Three-Speed Quick Shift Power for Big Game Offshore
The Avet HXW 3/S Raptor 3-Speed Lever Drag Reel is built for anglers who want maximum versatility on Avet’s largest lever drag platform. Its patented Quick Shift mechanism gives you three practical speeds: high to gain line on a running fish, medium for balanced retrieval, and low when a trophy fish sounds or circles the boat and you need maximum cranking power.
When an offshore fight changes by the minute, the HXW 3/S lets you change the reel’s feel without changing your plan. The dual Avedrag carbon fiber system delivers up to 40 lb at strike and 50 lb at full, while the one-piece 6061-T6 marine-grade aluminum frame, nine stainless steel bearings, stainless steel transmission, and hard-anodized finish are built for demanding saltwater use. This model is No-MC and right-hand retrieve only. Made in the USA.
Three Speeds, One Better Answer to a Changing Fight
- High speed: Recover line quickly when the fish runs toward the boat.
- Medium speed: Maintain a balanced retrieve and steady pressure during the middle of the fight.
- Low speed: Maximize cranking leverage when a fish sounds or needs to be worked up from depth.
- Quick Shift transmission: Change speeds quickly and confidently while keeping control.
What the HXW 3/S Solves at the Rail
A single gear ratio can force you to choose between speed and leverage at the wrong moment. The HXW 3/S gives you a high, medium, and low option so you can respond to a fast run, a long mid-fight pull, or a deep turn without asking one gear to do every job. That adaptability is especially useful when fishing heavy tackle for powerful offshore species.
The Right Pick If...
- You want three-speed control on Avet’s largest lever drag platform.
- You target bluefin, yellowfin, tuna, marlin, sailfish, wahoo, grouper, or amberjack.
- You fish deep-water jigs, kites, heavy trolling rigs, or bottom presentations for trophy fish.
- You want up to 40 lb at strike and 50 lb at full from a dual carbon fiber drag system.
- You fish right-hand retrieve and prefer a direct No-MC configuration.
Best Techniques and Conditions
- Deep-water jigging: Use low gear to work a fish up from depth, then move to medium or high as the fish rises.
- Kite fishing: High gear helps recover line on a fast run, while medium gear keeps the fight controlled.
- Trolling for marlin and sailfish: Choose the gear that matches the fish’s direction, with low gear ready for close-range leverage.
- Bottom fishing: Use low gear to turn trophy grouper and amberjack before they reach cover.
Where It Fits in the Avet Lineup
The HXW 3/S Raptor is the choice when three-speed adaptability matters most. For a two-speed HXW with the same trophy-oriented platform, compare the Avet HXW Raptor 2-Speed Reel. For a three-speed Raptor Plus configuration, see the Avet HXW 5/3 Raptor Plus. For a narrower two-speed platform, compare the Avet HXJ Raptor 2-Speed Reel.
Key Features
- Dual Avedrag carbon fiber drag: Up to 40 lb at strike and 50 lb at full.
- 3-speed Quick Shift transmission: High, medium, and low speeds for tactical control.

- Match the HXW 3/S to a rod and line system designed for the heavy offshore applications this platform is built to handle.

Fast Retrieve When You Need It, Torque When It Matters
