Avet MXL 6/3 Raptor Plus MC 2 Speed Reels

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.
• Heavy saltwater applications: The machined aluminum frame, stainless components, and sealed bearings suit demanding offshore conditions.

Choose the MXL 6/3 when you want a larger, purpose-built offshore setup that can move quickly and still produce steady cranking power when the fight gets serious.
