Had to assist my wife with a photoshoot for her client, so off I went to AVET Industries in Chatsworth, CA...

These reels are huge, and some fish killing machines.

I'm personally a Penn fan, but i was really impressed with these reels.   Much thanks goes to Art over at AVET Industries for his help, and my wife Anna the photographer.  She is awesome with a camera.

She paid me with a couple of whiskey drinks at 7 Grand in downtown L.A.

What a great MONDAY!!!

That is way Cool! Ono!
That 80,3 speed is Bad to the Bone! :o
I'm with you on the Senators.
Between all the reels I buy and the constant upgrading. I see no Avet in my near Future.
