Location: Des Moines IA | It looks like the STTLW40HA and 50A only come as a clamp on Rod set up. Is there anyway to get one with the standard rod attachment feature? |

| the avet sx is a very nice reel. i purchased the 2 speed version which gives me, with very little effort i must say, aprox 36" per crank in high gear (6:1) and 24" in low gear (3.8:1). the 2 speed weighs in at slightly over 15 ozs and the side plate diameter is about the same as my lunas 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 inches making it easy to palm. i went with the avet because i prefer left handed reels. still getting used to the non levelwind / manual engage aspects but that will come in time... |

Location: Wisconsin | She's really touchy on the spool tension. You really have to be careful on that setting, I move mine about 1mm to either side for different lures. Also, the reel does not like to be filled to the top with line. You will also need to keep a thumb on the spool at all times to monitor the spool speed since it doesn't have brakes. |

| Thanks, I suspect I over filled it based on your comment. I have been using bait casters for years and will try to reduce the line on the spool. This is the largest spool I have used so far.
Thanks john |

It would help if you told us which model Saltist you're using & what type of line. |

| Sorry, it is the STTLW20HA with 80# proline.
