Avet JX MC Gen 2

[Capefox]

Is anyone using the Avet JX MC for surf casting? What is your experience with it?

what are you going to be casting how much weight?

I've never used the mc, but I have a jx g2 6/3 and I occasionally pair it with a 12 foot penn battalion surf rod for sturgeon and crab snares. I can consistently get 75+ yards on every cast throwing 6-8 oz. Personally I dont feel the need for the mc, as just spend a day or 2 casting and training your thumb, you'll be happier in the long run.

I would be casting 6 oz. leopard shark/bat ray/guitarfish rigs with a 12' surf rod.

The reel would be perfect for it. Id run 65lb braid and change out the top shot for whatever you are planning on fishing for.

I've used the Avet MC reels a lot, from SX to HX, and probably prefer the wider model for surf fishing like the MXL or LX. Smaller diameter spins up easier. Magnets make casting thumbless until spash down.

For surf and sharks I really prefer the Penn Squall 2 15 SDCS throwing 30# braid with a 50# shock leader and a 3' 300# Texas rig, 4 oz egg and a 9/0 beak hook. The Penn reel is less money, throws better, and still handles Leopards and Soupfin. It was designed for surf.
