Lever Drag Reels

The Avet MXJ G2 6/4 is a compact two-speed lever drag reel that punches well above its weight class. Despite its small frame, it delivers 20lbs of drag at full — more than enough to handle 50lb tuna on micro braided line — with 470 yards of 50lb capacity on the spool. The solid one-piece 6061-T6 aluminum frame won't flex under load, and the Avedrag dry carbon fiber drag washers provide smooth, consistent stopping power through long fights.

The 6.4:1 high gear lets you gain line quickly on running fish; drop into the 3.8:1 low gear for maximum cranking power when a fish sounds. Available in Silver, Blue, and Black with Glideplate. Left hand retrieve available in Silver only. Made in USA.

The Avet Winch JX 6/3S is a true big-game conventional reel built in a remarkably compact, castable frame. It packs three gears, an ultra-low 2.0:1 "winch" ratio, and Avet's legendary lever drag system into the same JX-sized housing that has become the saltwater standard on the West Coast and beyond. Three gears give you the range of a much larger reel — shift up to cover water, down to crank, and all the way to low when a fish of a lifetime sounds and refuses to budge.

Machined from a single block of 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and built around stainless steel internals, the Winch JX 6/3S is engineered to grind. Whether you're slow-trolling live bait for bluefin, dropping jigs deep for tuna and yellowtail, or pulling big amberjack and grouper off structure, the combination of gear range, drag control, and one-piece frame strength lets you put serious heat on fish without sacrificing a balanced, fishable setup. Proudly designed and manufactured by Avet Reels in the USA.

Three Gears, One Reel

• High gear — 6.3:1: Fast retrieve for covering water, working surface irons, and gaining line on running fish.
• Middle gear — 3.8:1: The everyday workhorse ratio — enough speed to stay tight on a circling fish, enough torque to keep the pressure on.
• Winch gear — 2.0:1: Ultra-low cranking power. When a big tuna sounds, or a fish bogs down on heavy drag, you drop into winch and turn heads.

Key Features

• 3-speed lever drag — push-button shifter lets you change gears on the fly without breaking concentration on the fight.
• Massive drag output -70lbs
• One-piece 6061-T6 aluminum frame — CNC-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum for maximum rigidity under heavy drag pressure.
• Stainless steel internals — gears, bearings, and hardware built to survive the saltwater environment.
• Ratcheting glide plate with strike stop — pre-set your drag and shift from free spool to strike to full with precise, repeatable feel.
• Silent dog and gear anti-reverse — Avet's patented bulletproof anti-reverse eliminates handle back-play under load.
• Oversized power handle — provides the leverage and grip needed to work the low-range gears effectively during long battles.
• Loud alarm clicker — audible line-out alert for baitfishing and trolling applications.
• Three premium anodized finishes — available in Gunmetal, Silver, and Black.
• Made in USA — designed and manufactured in Chatsworth, California.

Ideal For

The Winch JX 6/3S shines whenever fish need to be muscled out of deep water, heavy current, or structure. Top applications include:

• Live-bait fishing for yellowfin and bluefin tuna
• Vertical jigging for tuna, yellowtail, and amberjack
• Deep-drop and bottom fishing for grouper, snapper, and rockfish
• Long-range sportboat rail rod setups
• Heavy inshore and offshore trolling where a compact profile matters

The completely redesigned Daiwa Saltiga LD 2-Speed Lever Drag Conventional Reel delivers the smoothest, most powerful, and most dependable two-speed lever drag platform available for saltwater anglers targeting yellowtail, tuna, white seabass, and big game species from inshore to offshore and the canyons. The two-speed design gives anglers the ability to shift from high gear for fast line recovery to low gear for maximum cranking power when a large fish goes deep or surges toward structure — the critical advantage in the toughest fights. Built on a one-piece machined aluminum frame and side plate with 6CRBB corrosion-resistant bearings, ATD drag, and Digigear precision.

Key Features

• Two-Speed Gear System — High gear for fast line recovery and low gear for maximum cranking power; shift between gear ratios instantly during the fight to match the demands of the fish; critical advantage when large fish go deep or surge toward structure where maximum torque is needed to turn them.
• One-Piece Machined Aluminum Frame & Side Plate — Machined from a single piece of aluminum for precise alignment of bearings and gears; eliminates flex and binding under heavy drag loads; oversized, super-hard, polished and meshed stainless steel main and pinion gears drive the kicking gear with extra strength and nearly silent precision.
• 6CRBB Corrosion-Resistant Ball Bearings — Specially treated stainless steel bearings with a protective shield on the bearing race that seals out sand, fine grit, salt crystals, and other abrasives; lasts 12 times longer than standard stainless steel bearings in saltwater environments.
• ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag) — Improved drag grease with low viscosity at rest that becomes more viscous immediately after drag startup; reduces initial drag startup inertia for a smoother drag from the initial hookup; combined with structural ATD system changes for consistent drag pressure throughout the fight.
• Digigear — Digitally engineered gear design ensures a perfect mesh between ultra-tough alloy drive gears and marine bronze pinion gears; optimized for speed, power, durability, and smoothness across the full gear range.
• Large Spool Bearings — Oversized spool bearings reduce side load so anglers can concentrate on fighting fish rather than managing the reel; contributes to the smooth, powerful retrieve under maximum drag pressure.
• Saltiga Executive 5-Year Warranty & Free Clean/Service — Industry-leading 5-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects plus a free 5-year clean and service for the original owner; expedited return shipping (2nd Day Air or Priority Mail) included.
