Avet MXJ 5.8 Star Drag Conventional Reels
The Avet MXJ 5.8 Star Drag line of reels incorporates a star drag opposed to the traditional lever-drag associated with these reels. The 5.8 size is perfect for inshore and lighter offshore applications alike. The aluminum star wheel tends to be easier to adjust to the preferred drag pressure. The narrow spool holds roughly 470 yards of 50 lb braid, which is perfect for bottom fishing, jigging and slow jigging applications. All aluminum body, stainless steel gears and eight sealed ball bearings make for a sturdy reel.

Custom Reel Spooling
Get your reel professionally spooled for the cost of the line only. Choose from two options for straight braid spooling:
-
Order the required braid from our Braided Line Per-Yard page (we’ll refund any overage).
-
Contact us with your spool specs, and we’ll guide you on the exact braid quantity to order.
If your braid order doesn't fully fill the spool, we’ll back it with the appropriate sized line at no extra cost. For custom spooling big game reels with leaders, knots, crimps, or splices, contact us—if you can dream it, we can rig it!
