Title: Double-dog on avet?
Post by: Zinox on March 21, 2013, 12:07:09 PM
Have anyone tried to double-dog a Avet reel ?
To reduce the amount of "back turn".

I have a SX raptor, and would love a little bit less handle movement.

Greetings Bjarke.

I don't think it can be done with Avets way of engaging the dog. The dog is not spring loaded in my non-Raptor reels. Also where would you put the second dog? There is no other place on the sideplate to place one.

They already made room for one in the other side of the casing, (facing the wrong direction)
but if you removed a bit of material i think, there should be room to invert one there, and just make it spring loadet.

the older models already had double dogs.  too bad they didn't stick with that design.

Just call them up or order it from their website. I never had a problem with them.

Fill out the boxes in the link below and the nice young lady with the heavy accent (Aleza?) will call you in a day or so to confirm your order.

D'oh!!!!   For a fellow Dane I can get the parts and ship them to you like I did for Hafnor.  Shipping from KF to Oslo ($2.05) was less than shipping from SoCal to KF ($5.00) and both together was much less than what he was quoted by Avet.

Let's deal with this by PM.
