| Looking for a reel to pull #10's and maybe even burn them.
Anyone have experience using the AVETSX for this purpose.
Want a reel small and lite as possible.
AVETSX work for 10's with either or both 5.3 or 6.4 ?
Thank you in advance for any help on this. |

Location: Smith Creek | I have the single speed 5.3 SX with mc. Only have half a season of use but I really like it for big blades. Enough speed to burn (what I consider burning). |

Location: Not far enough north! | I have the sx 2 speed. On the high speed you can burn pretty easily and the slow speed has the same line pick up as a toro winch. I do not fill the spool all the way up so its probably a little slower than the winch but you can't even feel a double 10 on there. They are built like a tank. The only negatives are non level wind (not that big a deal), lack of a thumb bar ( only takes a few casts to get used to the lever), and the stainless gears are loud... They are a great option for us "leftys" |

| Just got the 5.3 this past winter... Bought it mainly for saltwater applications, but did test it out w/ the double tens just to see how id like it. I think you will like it A LOT--once you get used to the lever--which won't be too bad, it has stages that you can actually feel when switching between so its not very hard to catch on to.
I can't really see why you would need the two speed. Save your money, the 5.3 will burn them right out of the water effortlessly. Like was said before, the gears are a little bit loud... but who cares, this is a beast of a reel in such a small size. I say go for it... If you don't like it, no big deal the resale on them is pretty good. |
