What is this as my friend and i have 5 of these-each about a year old. Can ours be upgraded to this new feature?

Pretty sure yours already has it. It's the preload adjustment knob near the handle.

Yes there is a preset knob on the side of the reel.. you already have it.

Do some homework and search this website on the performance of the cast control feature.

I hope you guys are not talking about the drag control knob.

Pretty sure it's all the same knob. I call it preload but Avet calls it cast control on their web site.

Confusing because I think they are they are assuming you are casting in the bait position and not freespool.

no its not the same button...

Avet is coming out with a new feture on the Sx, Lx, and the Mx. on the side of the reel where the clicker is, their is another knob that keeps the cast under control without any birdsnest.

i just got off of a 3 days trip and Harry from Avet brought some of them. they were AMAZING!! ur thum didnt have to touch to reel at all! and still no backlash.

It's about time Avet stopped advertising the bait position as a cast control. It was one of the biggest, hushed-up, shitty ideas ever produced... Use it and watch your drag pressure get cut by a third or more.

Nearly every other reel manufacturer uses spool shaft friction to control backlash. Sometimes being the only reel that does something different, only proves you're behind the times, or worse. I wonder when they'll stop gluing dry drag discs?
