Looking to get something to replace a few accurate bx400 that the anti reverse seems to go out on regularly. Reel will be used for mainly bottom fishing for big grouper and AJs. They catch fish and I like how small they are but they don't hold up. I guess my question is if there is a reel out there in that size range that will hold up longer. Haven't tried the dawg pound series, but it is an option. Also looking to hear from people using small makairas, Cedros, talica, torsa, saltiga and andros.
I believe the AR on the Avet Raptors is bulletproof.
From the reels that I had serviced, I'd say Avet Rapture.
I didn't know Avet brought the rapture!
