Avet MXL 5.8 Star Drag Conventional Reels
A step up in size from the SX series and wider than then MXJ, the new MXL Star Drag is Avet's long-awaited entrance into the realm star drags—and the wait was well worth it! All Avet Reels are precision machined out of 6061 T-6 marine grade aluminum and stainless steel components and anodized for superior corrosion resistance and beautiful finish. The reels feature a true one piece frame for the ultimate in strength relative to weight as well as a powerful lever drag system with adjustable strike pre-set. Internally, the reels feature precision machined stainless steel gears and Avet's patented, indestructible, silent dog and gear anti-reverse system. The reels are also built with Avedrag dry carbon fiber drags for superior stopping power, smoothness, and wear resistance and 8 related stainless steel ball bearings. The handle arm is offset to reduce center-line profile and cranking wobble and a large comfortable soft touch handle knob. All reels feature an alarm clicker and are made in the USA. The Magic Cast system is best utilized for people who plan to cast the reel, as the system adds magnets to the interior of the reel lowering the inertia of the spool during the cast decreasing the chance of a birds nest.

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!
