HXW-Class Three-Speed Power for Offshore Big Game

The Avet HXW Raptor Plus 3 Speed Reel is built for anglers who demand the ultimate combination of raw power and tactical versatility in a single offshore package. The HXW frame — Avet's largest two-speed platform — is taken to the next level with a three-speed gearing system and the advanced Raptor drag, giving you the cranking muscle to stop the biggest fish in the ocean and the speed to keep pace when they run. Whether you're dropping deep on bluefin, kite fishing for yellowfin, or battling marlin on the troll, the HXW Raptor Plus 3 Speed gives you every gear ratio you need to win the fight.

HXW Raptor Plus 3 Speed — Key Specifications

Built for Offshore Specialists

The HXW Raptor Plus 3 Speed is the reel of choice when the target is big and the conditions are unforgiving. Drop heavy iron on deep bluefin, kite fish live bait for yellowfin, troll rigged baits for marlin and sailfish, or work the bottom for trophy grouper and amberjack — the three-speed HXW platform gives you the power and adaptability to handle every scenario. When the fish sounds, drop to low gear and grind. When it runs, shift to high and recover line. No other reel in Avet's lineup gives you this level of in-fight control at HXW scale.

The Avet HXW Raptor Plus 3 Speed — three gears, one mission: stop the biggest fish in the ocean.

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

Specifications

Experience the bait that started a revolution in the fishing industry. The Basstrix Paddle Tail 2.5" is the original hollow-body swimbait, meticulously designed to provide a level of realism that solid-body plastics simply cannot replicate. At 2.5 inches, this bait is the perfect "match-the-hatch" size for a variety of forage, including threadfin shad, smelt, and small minnows, making it a staple for tournament anglers across the country.

The secret to its success lies in its hollow-body construction, which allows the bait to collapse easily upon a strike for superior hook-up ratios. This design, combined with the signature Basstrix paddle tail, creates a high-frequency kicking action and a subtle body roll that triggers aggressive strikes even in high-pressure or clear water conditions.

Key Features:

• Original Hollow-Body Design: Engineered to provide a lifelike feel and natural buoyancy, ensuring the bait swims perfectly at both high and low speeds.

• Signature Paddle Tail Action: Delivers a realistic, thumping vibration that mimics the movement of fleeing baitfish to call in predators from a distance.

• Hand-Painted Realism: Each bait features the iconic Basstrix multi-dimensional finish, complete with lifelike eyes and holographic scale patterns for unmatched visual appeal.

• Versatile Rigging Options: While it excels on a weighted swimbait hook for a weedless presentation, it is equally effective on a ball-head jig or as a premium trailer for umbrella rigs and vibrating jigs.

• Proven Multi-Species Appeal: A powerhouse for targeting largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass, as well as various saltwater species like Calico Bass.

Why Josh Jorgensen Chose This Spec

Standard shark rigs fail at connection points or get bitten through by larger predators. This build is over-engineered so that doesn't happen:

• Rosco Hardware: Genuine 500lb 6/0 Rosco swivels prevent line twist and hardware failure under the immense pressure of a long-distance run.
• Hand-Crimped & Haywire Twists: Every connection point is double-secured for total peace of mind when it matters most.
