Hi there, first post, found the link from another site and sure glad I followed it.
With info I found here I took my 2 Avet SX's & HX 2 spd apart (one SX was salted up pretty good) ordered some Cal's grease and cleaned & lubed them to perfection.
Getting gear ready for YFT in the NE canyons and wondering where I can find any braided line capacity info for Avet EXW-50s?
Avet only posts Mono capacity. Thanks in advance

Fantastic resources here, great job Alan

Welcome aboard!
Glad to hear the first rebuilds went well.
Here's a link for a line calculator. All you need is the factory line capacity and it works for any reel you've got (or plan to get

).

Welcome aboard John, don't be shy about posting some picture of you working on those reels. Whether good or bad, Alan will send you a kool wrench. Take care, Sal
