Avet MXJ G2 6/4 2-Speed Reel

Avet MXJ G2 6/4 is a compact two-speed lever drag reel that gives light-tackle anglers real control when a fish changes direction. The 6.4:1 high gear helps recover line quickly, while the 3.8:1 low gear adds cranking power when a tuna, yellowtail, or other hard-pulling fish sounds.

Compact Size, Serious Saltwater Control

With 470 yards of 50 lb braid capacity and up to 20 lb of full drag, the MXJ G2 6/4 fits a useful middle ground between compact handling and offshore capability. Its one-piece 6061-T6 aluminum frame, Avedrag dry carbon fiber drag, stainless gears, and anodized finish are built for repeated saltwater use. The No-MC configuration keeps the setup straightforward, while the Glideplate and strike stop help make lever-drag adjustments more consistent.

Why the MXJ G2 6/4 Works

• Two-speed gearing: Switch from fast line recovery to lower-gear leverage as the fight changes.
• Useful braid capacity: Holds 470 yards of 50 lb braid for versatile inshore and offshore applications.
• Smooth Avedrag system: Dry carbon fiber drag washers deliver steady pressure from startup through the fight.
• Rigid one-piece frame: Precision-machined 6061-T6 aluminum helps support the reel under load.
• G2 control package: Eight stainless steel ball bearings, silent anti-reverse, stainless gears, and an adjustable strike preset support dependable operation.
• Glideplate and strike stop: Helps make lever position changes repeatable while fighting a fish.

Best For

The MXJ G2 6/4 is a strong fit for live bait, vertical jigging, bottom fishing, and general saltwater boat fishing. Choose it for tuna, yellowtail, white seabass, dorado, wahoo, rockfish, lingcod, and other species that call for a compact reel with both speed and leverage.

When to Choose It

Choose the MXJ G2 6/4 when you want a compact two-speed reel with enough braid capacity and drag for serious saltwater fishing. It is a better fit than a single-speed reel when you expect to move between fast line recovery and low-gear pressure during the same fight. For a smaller Raptor setup, compare the Avet G2 SX Series Reel. For a taller JX platform, see the Avet JX G2 Reel. For more Raptor drag authority in a compact frame, compare the Avet MXL Raptor 2-Speed Reel.

Tackle Express Tips

• Use high gear to regain line quickly, then shift to low before a deep-running fish turns the fight into a cranking test.
• Set the strike preset before your trip and make lever adjustments gradually as the fish changes direction.
• Rinse the reel with fresh water after saltwater use and protect it between trips with an Avet Reel Bag.
