Awesome video and explanation! Quick question. What size avet would you recommend for south Florida land based angling, from snook and kings on piers to potentially tarpon and small sharks from the beach? Would be paired on a star rod deluxe 8ft. I’m between the MX and LX. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Mxl raptor have landed 7ff sharks no worries, but if your looking for more stopping power then go with lx Raptor Mc for sure they are also discounted right now
I’m looking for a reel that I can use to fish bull reds and black drum off the beach and sometimes take it to the pier for snook(or any medium game). Do you think I can get aaway with an Mxl g2, or do I need a mxl raptor or even an Lx? I’m looking to put it on a 10-11 foot rod
Great video. I use my HX5/3 raptor for all fish/tuna over 50lb and my MXL raptor and MXJ MC for all fish things under 50lb and that's all I need. The reasons I use these reels is because they get the job done and their size and weight-great for small hands and women.
Hey man, how do you like that Vexan Tank rod? I'm going to SPI soon for vacation and have been looking for a new rod wanna know if it's any good for surf fishing or do you only use it for trolling? If you have any suggestions on some sturdy surf fishing rods lmk.
For distance they are finicky... but trolling it's a really stout rod ... and do you have a limit of what your willing to spend and how do you plan on surf fishing the rod what do you plan on targeting
what avet reel do you suggest for surf fishing for 100-150+ pound sharks? we have a couple spinning rods where we catch 30-80 pound sharks but we’re looking to get some bigger gear for bigger sharks
Also what kind of fish are you trying to target, and this reel don't really recommend as a reel for throwing lures all day.. here and there cool deal...
What size reel you think be good for kings, big snook, reds, and sharks from a pier? Also what rod specs*length action etc* you recommend for the pier also?
@@TeamHardLife Fighting rod, thinking about pairing it with avet lx 2 speed raptor just need help with a good custom rod spec idk if I want to go with a 8’ or 10’. I want to be able to king fish and also snook fish near a pier and get them away from pylons if they run into them like on Juno pier

When I was looking and saw them all it's just what u fishing for.. and if u like compact reel with line or reel with bigger drag but compact like the J series or just a big reel with lots of line and big drag for the big fish.. because I got the sx raptor but before I got it I was looking at the mxj and the mxj hold almost the same line but the sx is wide reel smallest of all avet and the mxj is just a slim version of the mxl that hold line more but got turn to a different looking sx reel

Love your videos . I fish in Florida down south on the east coast . What size avet do you recommend for an 8ft 50-80lb class rod . Will be using set up in the keys for bottom fishing off bridges and piers when I drive up north .
I know you're fully aware of this but I think it's super important to distinguish between Raptors and G2 when talking line test as well. You really want to stay in that 25-33% drag of your line test or you're going to blow out bearings or worse. Putting 80lb line on an SX Raptor is ok but on a G2 SX it's way too heavy. It's basically doubling the drag on a Raptor. I fish my G2 MXL and my MXL Raptor very differently for example. 40lb on the G2 and 65lb on the Raptor with up to a 80ln topshot. Avet has a reputation for their bearings going bad but almost all the time it's due to people fishing the reel way beyond its intended line class. If you want to catch giant fish on heavy line with a small reel, spend the money and buy a Raptor.
That is a good point but we are also doing it for other reasons going straight braid is way different than using mono tops shots especially with these reels then everything you said is on point... as for the hollow core braid we doing it because the ticker lines give more abrasion resistance as well as the thickness is comparable to the smaller mono sizes.. at the same time we dont go too thick cause then you will loose line capacity
@@TeamHardLife I just see guys with a standard SX with 80lb braid and they complain about crunching a bearing. We always use a reasonably long, say no less than 50 feet of a heavy mono topshot when sharking from land. Even the sand over here will cost you fish if you let it rub on lighter mono for long enough.
@@jeffsmith825 You do realize that you're not hurting anything by putting 80lb line on a regular SX right? As long as you are staying under the listed max drag ratings of the reel. You could definitely say it's pointless or a waste of money but it doesn't hurt anything, you just lose some line capacity while gaining a little abrasion resistance. You said "you really want to stay in that 25-33% drag of your line test". Well that's really not an accurate statement. What the 25-33% rule means is.... "ideally" you don't want your drag to exceed 25-33% of the size line you put on your reel. It doesn't mean you are supposed to fish within/around 25-33% of your line size. You can spool a regular SX with 130lb braid if you wish and you will never blow out a pinion bearing, as long as you stay under the listed max drag specs for the reel. Fishing at 5-10% of your line test is even better than 25-33%. I think you probably understand that but it was worded a little weird in your post, everything else you said is spot on....
@Jeff Smith the reason is also too keep the cost of spooling a reel by the yd is also keeping their cost down on spooling it... We have seen where the 40lb line cost most than the 60lb and there isn't a tremendous amount of line capacity difference between these smaller reels so if helps them by getting into the braid game and lasting longer in the spool...and trust me the bearings have zero to do with the size of braid you put on the reel ... Will be posting a video later on to discuss this further...
@@TeamHardLife I understand exactly what you are saying, I used to do a lot of beach sharking here in Fla., West coast. Pre and post braid invention. Todays small lever drag reels are fully capable of fishing line tests way above yesterday’s gear, but be smart about it. Like an engine, you get a midsize and push it hard, and it will start having issues before a bigger one that never had to really rev up. And could if it had to for a while without any trouble. I fish an Avet SX Raptor 2-speed, max drag rated 26 lb. Its spooled with with 500+ yds of 30 lb PowerPro, and for snapper and slow-pitch jigging, it’s never set past 20 lbs BY A SCALE, at max., and usually 15 lbs. With a 15’ to 100’ leader/topshot of 30 to 50 lb. floro or mono, I’ve landed 20+lb Gags and small AJ’s with no problem.
Just ordered the Avet MXL MC Single Speed Lever Drag Casting Reel. Primarily going to be used for surf fishing out in Freeport Texas. What rod do you recommend? I'm looking for a 10' rod.
10' ... are.you looking for light rod or heavy.. heavy then steadfast or ftu .. if not then the 9' tackle industries or the vexan inshore series rods..
Would the mxl raptor be a good surface iron reel? Ive mostly used star drags for surface iron but when you hook something big you got no power in the reel with single hs ratio. I figure with the 2 speed and cast control it'd be perfect for bigger yellows or bluefin
Yea sir big time and talk about faster response to the fish hooking up and running and or running in your can do it all effortlessly.. Adding drag tripping gears made with just a simple slide of the thumb..
@@TeamHardLife yeah. I got 2 JX raptors. I'm gonna use them for my wahoo reels/surface iron/ yoyo for multi day trips. For my go to yellowtail surface iron setups for local, I ended up going with trinidad 20a (already owned) and a penn fathom 25n star drag.
@@TeamHardLife the JX seem like a pretty versatile reel for what I'm doing. 65 or 80# maxcuatro with 40 or 50 lb topshot. Drags aren't too close to the redline. The cast control is nice to have too in those frenzied moments.
Starting to fish in saltwater I’m planning on fishing from the pier and jetties in SoCal but also would like to fish on the boat charters. Is there setup you could recommend for each one or on that works for both? Thanks
These reels are definitely multi task reels the raptors series does making landing large fish easier but definitely remember offshore fishing and bank or over fishing are 2 different set ups .. the mono filament tops shots really change the whole game up..
@@TeamHardLife so a raptor reel for deep sea and which reel would you recommend for pier/surf fishing. I’m planning on getting two rod setups. If you got any recommendations for those rods as well it would be greatly appreciated.
Raptor for both.. it can do it no worries.. surf weights kill bearings make them scream after prolonged usage but the Raptors have overly built them so no worries
@@TeamHardLife hey just saw this I bought a saltiga 15h and avet mjx raptor with a calstar 700l and Uc swimbait finatic RUC711XH any recommendations for set up in fishing in SoCal(Newport Beach,CA) on 1/2 -3/4 day trips but my first baby was born yesterday so I’m probably going to stick short trips and pier/jetties
Hey i live in NJ and usually go for porgies and sea bass do you think i should do the small or medium i like the narrow reel so was leaning towards the sx.
@@TeamHardLife the boats dont usually fish more than 150 feet. what rod do you recommend for sx im looking for something like a 6'6 medium but can hold the 8-10 oz sinkers
Well there are ugly stick rods (>$100) that are reasonably priced but probably won't give you the action your looking for.. then there are the ($200) Vexan Tank rods that will be able to get your monsters... then there are the really expensive jigging rods $300plus
@@TeamHardLife catfishing, some from kayak's some from the bank. Currently running a half dozen Daiwa Sealine 47H reels & a couple 50H reels, obviously the 50H is non level wind and I prefer the 47H reels which are level wind personally
Just discovered your channel, wasted no time subscribing 🎉. Great bits of info for avet reels which I am looking to for kingfisging. Do you have a video discussing what seems to be a handy washer modification to allow for a softer grag curve when targeting kings on livebait?
cool video , im looking at these now ,, No line guide ? it doesnt backlash ? , i hope youll get better your audio and kill the back ground noise ,,, its hard to hear you , and you should do some outside casting and explain the drag as well when you can.
Yes sir got plentyvof videos showing that information that your asking about and yes Sorry did that video when I was still learning how to edit I was very amateur
@@TeamHardLife its all good ,your videos are great ,,, im looking now , Thanks for the reply , I want the small one , but the raptor version has the magnetic break , so i think its the best bang for the buck ... me im fishing the jettys for big fish so ,, here i am , research , Thanks again , any rod suggestions would be great as well..
@@TeamHardLife i live in houston.are so be.going after gar bull reds drums want to be able to catch 6 or 7 foot gar but also take it to the beach and get into shark fishing
Both... but qe are selling them as fast as we get them in stock but you can also let us know which your looking for and we can get it set up so you can come and visit and pick it up
I’m in south west fl I’m looking for a reel I can use for land base shark fishing and for jogging for ajs I really like the hxw raptor and hx raptor what would u recommend
Well that's gona be a hard one.. cause jigging for fish and land based shark fishing pretty hard to mix the 2 .. however the hxw Raptors can do both if you dont mind the weight of the reel while working your lures... but at the same time it doesn't give you much line capacity when your using kono at that point then you would have to go with a bigger exw series reel.. but wont be good for jigging... too heavy seen guys do then with the 30's. But they dont last too long..

All these reels are great. i own 3 of the 4. I dont have the LX. However i think out of these 4 reels The MXL RAPTOR would be your best all around reel. Use it in the channels, pier or surf. And it has the power to bring in the big dogs. Has line capacity u need.
Yes sir that i totally agree with you.. have fished the lx and it is when you do hook into that top 15% fish or shark it has the line capacity and drag to really give it a go..
In your experience which mc reel has the longest casting distance. I know alot can be tweeked such as line size, and rod length, stiffness, ect. But you cast alot and I am sure you have some idea that if you had to choose just one set up which one would you take? Other than the hxw mc of course cause they are not available.
@@TeamHardLife not yet. Got 300 saved up so far. My wife thinks my 13 rod and reels are enough. Lmao. She is probably right. But I only use like 5 of them. And another thing is that I fish the pier alot, and alot of guys have custom rods and avet mc caster and most of the time I cast a nice 10 yards farther than they do. But I am thinking its there line type, leader length, and shape of their baits. Along with casting style. Not many cast straight overhand like I do. They tend to side throw with the hips and I use my shoulders and back. I learned it from beach bomber.

We have a drawing going on for the mxl raptors rod reel line tackle and tackle bag as well...amongst other drawings... th-cam.com/video/xtbQMP-qQzE/w-d-xo.html
I had a mxl, sx and sx raptor. Sold the mxl and sx and kept the sx raptor. Still love it. Wish I kept the mxl for more fishing lines since I got into ocean fishing
Most definitely has been a eye opener for me and anyone that fishes around me cause I have 100% certainty about the gear and what it can handle so landing monsters in such a fast time is opening their eyes to the potential...
Avet is real made by one piece metal, unlike Accurate which is hidden their plastic cover on their reel and never mentioned on their advertising OR even on their TH-cam channel.

If was gonna try to try to make a decision, between hxw and lx. What would you say is the biggest advantage to hxw over the lx. Was planning on doing casting style of fishing of jetties,, and pier, mostly land based type of fishermen. Wanna try my hand on some 5 or 6 foot sharks, as well as bull reds...just an inquiry.
@@TeamHardLife thanks, I definitely dont wanna thumb anything, those days for me are over, once I got into magnetic casting...do they got a pink lx raptor available for purchase
Those are good reels. So far I have sx, mxl, lx, now im been looking for hxw avet and wonder how much for it and would like to get layaway?? Im been trying get use to it wit avet. But I really love my old school Penn. Lol... It hard for me to move on wit avet. Lol...
Ok.will do and yes sir we will work this out no worries have multiple customers whom also are the same way as you... They love coming in and are really happy when they leave and report their catches to us...
Generally speaking if you're having a hard time casting the SX then you're gonna have a harder time casting the larger reels. For some people the LX is the largest reel they can cast and for other people they cast HXW's, 4/0, wide 4/0 and 6/0 no problem.
Wow that's awesome.. truly hope it come thru for you .. but also remember it's is a sx regular.. .. the Mc and or extra drag isn't on those you will have to play fish a bit more and use thumb control
Because we have done side by side and seen where having mono actually cost us more break offs and hollow core we were able to save many lines by reconnecting it..

@@TeamHardLife I spent my younger days fishing. Then for 28 years I made my living SCUBA diving for fossils, full time. I never went fishing because if I could fish I could dive. Now I am going back to diving, but I am going to take time to fish. Your video taught me that the size reel I need is determined by the size and length of line. I think I will get a 975 Penn type of reel. The fishing would be for 5-30 pound salt water. Thank you. I love learning. 🌝
OK so are you wanting to ull these fish in quickly or play them out ? You can do sx g2 mc single speed or 2 speed for faster fight times and raptor to even more brute strength
@@TeamHardLife I used to be a PADI instructor but fell in love with fast current, muddy, no visibility, underwater fossil hunting. I am a trill-seeker. I do nothing without a purpose. Find a purpose for your diving adventure. I recommend Fort Lauderdale, or The Keys. ❤️🌝
Very nice yes sir they are a beast of a reel but we like line capacity for land based fishing.. and the hx doesn't hold what we want ... in worst case scenarios
Very informational and after seeing this I think I better set my sights. On being able to land only 6 footers and under. On my 11000 spinning reel. Probably more realistic and doable. As always, God Bless you and your family love y'all my friends

Love your videos, but that music blasting over you talking is really annoying!
I try to put it very low but may just have to leave my voice volume higher
This time is worse than normal.
Have yall watched any later videos...
I was really interested in the content too but music made it almost impossible to focus on what you were saying.
Yes sir some of my early videos I didn't control the music right.. but I have gotten that under control now..
Awesome video and explanation! Quick question. What size avet would you recommend for south Florida land based angling, from snook and kings on piers to potentially tarpon and small sharks from the beach? Would be paired on a star rod deluxe 8ft. I’m between the MX and LX. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Mxl raptor have landed 7ff sharks no worries, but if your looking for more stopping power then go with lx Raptor Mc for sure they are also discounted right now
Which one would you recommend for dolphin/king fishing one I can cast far and still hold weight
Mxl would handle them no worries.. and still be pretty light
I’m looking for a reel that I can use to fish bull reds and black drum off the beach and sometimes take it to the pier for snook(or any medium game). Do you think I can get aaway with an Mxl g2, or do I need a mxl raptor or even an Lx? I’m looking to put it on a 10-11 foot rod
looking to put 50-60 braid and about the same lb top shot
Mcl raptor would handle all that, and then some
Would recommend higher top shot weight class for the casting and when your going to land the catches
@@TeamHardLifethanks man I’m gonna see if I can order one lefty at my local shop
@@TeamHardLifeyou think maybe 20 yards of 80lb to hollow core?
Do any SX or MX reels have automatic line levelers on them with left hand crank?
None of the avets have the line leveling worm on them
so I just bought a MXL do i need to put the set screws on my rod? or is it fine mounting it without them?
I use mine without them... but that is me and I trust my gear. I don't know what you have
@@TeamHardLife i got the Avet MXL paired up with a XH phenix Axis Rod i think it should be good without it 👍🏼
Have you used that rod before? I haven't and just asking, also how you like it
Great video. I use my HX5/3 raptor for all fish/tuna over 50lb and my MXL raptor and MXJ MC for all fish things under 50lb and that's all I need. The reasons I use these reels is because they get the job done and their size and weight-great for small hands and women.
Yes sir nailed it they are the most diverse reels to able.to do all kinds of fishing big and small
I’m looking for a vertical jigging setup for tuna I have a penn fathom 30 but nearly got spooled by a 160lb bluefin do you recommend I get the HX ?
Yes sir and Hx Raptor Mc will be a great improvement for drag and what kind of line set up combos are you using. .
Hey man, how do you like that Vexan Tank rod? I'm going to SPI soon for vacation and have been looking for a new rod wanna know if it's any good for surf fishing or do you only use it for trolling? If you have any suggestions on some sturdy surf fishing rods lmk.
For distance they are finicky... but trolling it's a really stout rod ... and do you have a limit of what your willing to spend and how do you plan on surf fishing the rod what do you plan on targeting
what avet reel do you suggest for surf fishing for 100-150+ pound sharks? we have a couple spinning rods where we catch 30-80 pound sharks but we’re looking to get some bigger gear for bigger sharks
Mxl Raptor is a good size to give you a decent fight if your casting if you want to cast and a little kayak then lx raptor
Team Hard Life awesome thanks! and by any chance do you have any pole recommendations to go with those reels?
For the mxl the tackle industries rods work great and for kayak set up rods the ftu or cui or steaftast rods...
What reel should I get for inshore fishing in Miami. I just got a boat
Need more info throwing lures only, dead bait fishing on bottom, etc
@@TeamHardLife I'll start with dead bait bottom fishing. Then what you recommend if I wanna use lures
Also what kind of fish are you trying to target, and this reel don't really recommend as a reel for throwing lures all day.. here and there cool deal...
@@TeamHardLife this is my first boat and I'm open to anything. Snappers, sheep head, grouper and whatever I find inshore
@@TeamHardLife I'm open to catch anything. Snappers dolphins grouper and whatever I can eat
What kind of rod would you recommend to use if I get the Lx model. Fishing for grouper, amber jack or any type of bottom fishing
Do you want pre built or custom..
Okiya rods are a cheap rod but they pretty strong for mass production rods
Something around the $200 to $ 300 range
The okiaya rods will be your best bet
Thanks for the info!!
What size reel you think be good for kings, big snook, reds, and sharks from a pier? Also what rod specs*length action etc* you recommend for the pier also?
OK 2 part answer are you saying for the fighting reel and rod or the anchor rod and reel?
@@TeamHardLife Fighting rod, thinking about pairing it with avet lx 2 speed raptor just need help with a good custom rod spec idk if I want to go with a 8’ or 10’. I want to be able to king fish and also snook fish near a pier and get them away from pylons if they run into them like on Juno pier
I prefer 10ft rods atleast 40lb class or higher
I hooked a 20-30 lb GT on my 4K spinning reel. Got spooled within seconds
Nice that is a bucket list fish right therr... can't wait
What reel were you using?
Eventually I will get them..
what do u recommend as far as a high speed reel?
All depends in how you intended on fishing the Reel
@@TeamHardLife for a pier. i need to get fish out of the rocks.
You casting?
@@TeamHardLife yeah i need to cast like 70+ yards. I currently use a shimano 12000d bait runner right now and i can't get the fish up fast enough.
Have you fished with bait casters before without level winds
What size would you recommend? I am in Tampa party boat catching gag groupers around 24-28inches and sometimes run into amber jacks 28+ inches.
How deep are you dropping and also are yall required to have mono top shots?
@@TeamHardLife 80-150ft, not required but we use mono leader to prevent getting cut on the rocks.

@@TeamHardLife Let me know if you can give me an update on what size reel. You are probably going though a lot of comments.
I’m looking to fish a wide variety of fish on land and offshore. I’m looking to find a rod I can do some everything paired with the avet HXW. Texas!!
Casting or kayaking
@@TeamHardLifecasting
Heavy action ftu or steadfast blanks that we make into the Team Hard Life rods
When I was looking and saw them all it's just what u fishing for.. and if u like compact reel with line or reel with bigger drag but compact like the J series or just a big reel with lots of line and big drag for the big fish.. because I got the sx raptor but before I got it I was looking at the mxj and the mxj hold almost the same line but the sx is wide reel smallest of all avet and the mxj is just a slim version of the mxl that hold line more but got turn to a different looking sx reel
Yeah many of the j models hold about the same line capacity as the next size smaller wide avets...
How is the casting on the hwx raptor
It can be very nice... when throwing the right combo weight to leader and bait ratio
So much knowledge learned from these reels
Always good knowledge #20ksubscribers#2ndmillion#avetreels#cortland#teamhardlife

Love your videos . I fish in Florida down south on the east coast . What size avet do you recommend for an 8ft 50-80lb class rod . Will be using set up in the keys for bottom fishing off bridges and piers when I drive up north .
The lx or hxw raptor would be able.to handle that we use them with 100# test hollow core braids..
@@TeamHardLife thanks for the respond 👍
And it your putting the wood down the hxw will pull them
I know you're fully aware of this but I think it's super important to distinguish between Raptors and G2 when talking line test as well. You really want to stay in that 25-33% drag of your line test or you're going to blow out bearings or worse. Putting 80lb line on an SX Raptor is ok but on a G2 SX it's way too heavy. It's basically doubling the drag on a Raptor. I fish my G2 MXL and my MXL Raptor very differently for example. 40lb on the G2 and 65lb on the Raptor with up to a 80ln topshot. Avet has a reputation for their bearings going bad but almost all the time it's due to people fishing the reel way beyond its intended line class. If you want to catch giant fish on heavy line with a small reel, spend the money and buy a Raptor.
That is a good point but we are also doing it for other reasons going straight braid is way different than using mono tops shots especially with these reels then everything you said is on point... as for the hollow core braid we doing it because the ticker lines give more abrasion resistance as well as the thickness is comparable to the smaller mono sizes.. at the same time we dont go too thick cause then you will loose line capacity
@@TeamHardLife I just see guys with a standard SX with 80lb braid and they complain about crunching a bearing. We always use a reasonably long, say no less than 50 feet of a heavy mono topshot when sharking from land. Even the sand over here will cost you fish if you let it rub on lighter mono for long enough.
@@jeffsmith825 You do realize that you're not hurting anything by putting 80lb line on a regular SX right? As long as you are staying under the listed max drag ratings of the reel. You could definitely say it's pointless or a waste of money but it doesn't hurt anything, you just lose some line capacity while gaining a little abrasion resistance. You said "you really want to stay in that 25-33% drag of your line test". Well that's really not an accurate statement. What the 25-33% rule means is.... "ideally" you don't want your drag to exceed 25-33% of the size line you put on your reel. It doesn't mean you are supposed to fish within/around 25-33% of your line size. You can spool a regular SX with 130lb braid if you wish and you will never blow out a pinion bearing, as long as you stay under the listed max drag specs for the reel. Fishing at 5-10% of your line test is even better than 25-33%. I think you probably understand that but it was worded a little weird in your post, everything else you said is spot on....
@Jeff Smith the reason is also too keep the cost of spooling a reel by the yd is also keeping their cost down on spooling it... We have seen where the 40lb line cost most than the 60lb and there isn't a tremendous amount of line capacity difference between these smaller reels so if helps them by getting into the braid game and lasting longer in the spool...and trust me the bearings have zero to do with the size of braid you put on the reel ... Will be posting a video later on to discuss this further...
@@TeamHardLife I understand exactly what you are saying, I used to do a lot of beach sharking here in Fla., West coast. Pre and post braid invention. Todays small lever drag reels are fully capable of fishing line tests way above yesterday’s gear, but be smart about it. Like an engine, you get a midsize and push it hard, and it will start having issues before a bigger one that never had to really rev up. And could if it had to for a while without any trouble. I fish an Avet SX Raptor 2-speed, max drag rated 26 lb. Its spooled with with 500+ yds of 30 lb PowerPro, and for snapper and slow-pitch jigging, it’s never set past 20 lbs BY A SCALE, at max., and usually 15 lbs. With a 15’ to 100’ leader/topshot of 30 to 50 lb. floro or mono, I’ve landed 20+lb Gags and small AJ’s with no problem.
What’s the purple reel called I want to buy that one and how much is it? Please and thank you
That is the mxl raptor $498.99
Call the shop 361-334-2171 and we can get your order
@@TeamHardLife thank you I will
Cool deal were prepping for sharkathon got crazy gear coming out
Why do you use a braid top shot and not a mono/Fluro top shot ?
Because the stretch that the mono has it works against us when setting hooks and casting and more...
Just ordered the
Avet MXL MC Single Speed Lever Drag Casting Reel. Primarily going to be used for surf fishing out in Freeport Texas. What rod do you recommend? I'm looking for a 10' rod.
10' ... are.you looking for light rod or heavy.. heavy then steadfast or ftu .. if not then the 9' tackle industries or the vexan inshore series rods..
@@TeamHardLife Thanks for the info Captain Albert.
USMC 0331 93-97
OOORAHH!!!!
I am getting the mxl i mostly fish from the beach what would be a very good rod for it ????
The Vexan or Tackle industries rods are great light and strong for Monster fishing and good distance casting
Would the mxl raptor be a good surface iron reel? Ive mostly used star drags for surface iron but when you hook something big you got no power in the reel with single hs ratio. I figure with the 2 speed and cast control it'd be perfect for bigger yellows or bluefin
Yea sir big time and talk about faster response to the fish hooking up and running and or running in your can do it all effortlessly.. Adding drag tripping gears made with just a simple slide of the thumb..
Did you get the avets for you offshore trips
@@TeamHardLife yeah. I got 2 JX raptors. I'm gonna use them for my wahoo reels/surface iron/ yoyo for multi day trips. For my go to yellowtail surface iron setups for local, I ended up going with trinidad 20a (already owned) and a penn fathom 25n star drag.
They are strong reels that's for sure.
@@TeamHardLife the JX seem like a pretty versatile reel for what I'm doing. 65 or 80# maxcuatro with 40 or 50 lb topshot. Drags aren't too close to the redline. The cast control is nice to have too in those frenzied moments.
Starting to fish in saltwater I’m planning on fishing from the pier and jetties in SoCal but also would like to fish on the boat charters. Is there setup you could recommend for each one or on that works for both? Thanks
These reels are definitely multi task reels the raptors series does making landing large fish easier but definitely remember offshore fishing and bank or over fishing are 2 different set ups .. the mono filament tops shots really change the whole game up..
@@TeamHardLife so a raptor reel for deep sea and which reel would you recommend for pier/surf fishing. I’m planning on getting two rod setups. If you got any recommendations for those rods as well it would be greatly appreciated.
Raptor for both.. it can do it no worries.. surf weights kill bearings make them scream after prolonged usage but the Raptors have overly built them so no worries
Did you get your gear already up?
@@TeamHardLife hey just saw this I bought a saltiga 15h and avet mjx raptor with a calstar 700l and Uc swimbait finatic RUC711XH any recommendations for set up in fishing in SoCal(Newport Beach,CA) on 1/2 -3/4 day trips but my first baby was born yesterday so I’m probably going to stick short trips and pier/jetties
Hey i live in NJ and usually go for porgies and sea bass do you think i should do the small or medium i like the narrow reel so was leaning towards the sx.
Well all depends how much fight you want.... and also how much line capacity you will need...
@@TeamHardLife the boats dont usually fish more than 150 feet. what rod do you recommend for sx im looking for something like a 6'6 medium but can hold the 8-10 oz sinkers
@@smooveb191 that all depends on your what your looking to spend
Lol so much for a suggestion
Well there are ugly stick rods (>$100) that are reasonably priced but probably won't give you the action your looking for.. then there are the ($200) Vexan Tank rods that will be able to get your monsters... then there are the really expensive jigging rods $300plus
Do they make a level wind reel?
No they dont... it's a part that breaks down really fast.. also to regulates your line capacity as well as retards your distance casting..
@@TeamHardLife 👍🏻
What kind of fishing do you do..
@@TeamHardLife catfishing, some from kayak's some from the bank. Currently running a half dozen Daiwa Sealine 47H reels & a couple 50H reels, obviously the 50H is non level wind and I prefer the 47H reels which are level wind personally
Very nice.. I want to get some bigger cats under my belt..

Awesome
cool video , im looking at these now ,, No line guide ? it doesnt backlash ? , i hope youll get better your audio and kill the back ground noise ,,, its hard to hear you , and you should do some outside casting and explain the drag as well when you can.

More info where and how you plan on fishing it..
@@TeamHardLife i live in houston.are so be.going after gar bull reds drums want to be able to catch 6 or 7 foot gar but also take it to the beach and get into shark fishing
Casting on the beach with surf weights more mxl raptor or more fresh water without surf weights then G2 mc mxl
I'm definitely going to have to make a trip to your store do you have them available or do they have to be order online?
Both... but qe are selling them as fast as we get them in stock but you can also let us know which your looking for and we can get it set up so you can come and visit and pick it up
I’m in south west fl I’m looking for a reel I can use for land base shark fishing and for jogging for ajs I really like the hxw raptor and hx raptor what would u recommend
Well that's gona be a hard one.. cause jigging for fish and land based shark fishing pretty hard to mix the 2 .. however the hxw Raptors can do both if you dont mind the weight of the reel while working your lures... but at the same time it doesn't give you much line capacity when your using kono at that point then you would have to go with a bigger exw series reel.. but wont be good for jigging... too heavy seen guys do then with the 30's. But they dont last too long..
Hey THL ,How much hollow core can I get on a avet mxl 6/4.
Need to know the size and manufacturer
But normally qere getting about 250-300yds depending..

Yes sir that i totally agree with you.. have fished the lx and it is when you do hook into that top 15% fish or shark it has the line capacity and drag to really give it a go..
You get in on the drawing for these mxl raptors ?
@@TeamHardLife That is the plan for today after payroll goes through. I already Downloaded the cash app
Good deal..
In your experience which mc reel has the longest casting distance. I know alot can be tweeked such as line size, and rod length, stiffness, ect. But you cast alot and I am sure you have some idea that if you had to choose just one set up which one would you take? Other than the hxw mc of course cause they are not available.
Def havevto say the LX raptor is the longest reel cast that I have gotten...
@@TeamHardLife thank you.
Were you able to get yourself one..
@@TeamHardLife not yet. Got 300 saved up so far. My wife thinks my 13 rod and reels are enough. Lmao. She is probably right. But I only use like 5 of them. And another thing is that I fish the pier alot, and alot of guys have custom rods and avet mc caster and most of the time I cast a nice 10 yards farther than they do. But I am thinking its there line type, leader length, and shape of their baits. Along with casting style. Not many cast straight overhand like I do. They tend to side throw with the hips and I use my shoulders and back. I learned it from beach bomber.
@@brentbillig5864 yes sir you are right there are so many variables on casting that can help and or hurt your cast..

Was planning on doing casting style of fishing of jetties,, and pier, mostly land based type of fishermen. Wanna try my hand on some 5 or 6 foot sharks, as well as bull reds...just an inquiry.
Lx would work best for you if you would rather not thumb the reel.. casting the hxw is like casting the 6/0... and need heavy weight...

Ok.will do and yes sir we will work this out no worries have multiple customers whom also are the same way as you... They love coming in and are really happy when they leave and report their catches to us...
My HXW was 429$. U will pay more for the Raptor version. Closer to 480$ I believe. Awesome reels though! Love em’!
I have the SX but did not get it with mc and it's hard for me to cast from the beach. Could I cast with the larger one from the beach?
yes. easy. I cast shimano takota 800s and penn squall 40 50 60 ld from the beach.
you may want to up your rod length and line for best surf casting.
Generally speaking if you're having a hard time casting the SX then you're gonna have a harder time casting the larger reels. For some people the LX is the largest reel they can cast and for other people they cast HXW's, 4/0, wide 4/0 and 6/0 no problem.
Need more info such as your length of Rod and type of line you have on that reel...
Thanks for the info, I'm thinking about getting LX Raptor with 12' rod. I hope that will cast from the beach.
Very nice! I’m looking at avet reel for this season.
They definitely are a game changer
I just got a great deal on a sx regular brand new 40 bucks I'm going to see how it goes everything I've seen I'm excited as hell
Wow that's awesome.. truly hope it come thru for you .. but also remember it's is a sx regular.. .. the Mc and or extra drag isn't on those you will have to play fish a bit more and use thumb control
Skip to 2:38 to skip to info
How can I help.you
Nice info on rod and reels and awesome colors
Thank you and yes sir always looking for new knowledge
Yes sir hoping the weather holds out for this weekend..
Why braid top shot instead of mono?
Because we have done side by side and seen where having mono actually cost us more break offs and hollow core we were able to save many lines by reconnecting it..
Team Hard Life ah I see makes sense... What lb line is your Mxl raptor spooled with
We start with 60lb 300yds and top shot with 100lb 50yds to 100yds

Thanks😊
Sure thing which size where you looking into
@@TeamHardLife I spent my younger days fishing. Then for 28 years I made my living SCUBA diving for fossils, full time. I never went fishing because if I could fish I could dive. Now I am going back to diving, but I am going to take time to fish. Your video taught me that the size reel I need is determined by the size and length of line. I think I will get a 975 Penn type of reel. The fishing would be for 5-30 pound salt water. Thank you. I love learning. 🌝
OK so are you wanting to ull these fish in quickly or play them out ? You can do sx g2 mc single speed or 2 speed for faster fight times and raptor to even more brute strength
And I got scuba certified but haven't been able to get out there..
@@TeamHardLife I used to be a PADI instructor but fell in love with fast current, muddy, no visibility, underwater fossil hunting. I am a trill-seeker. I do nothing without a purpose. Find a purpose for your diving adventure. I recommend Fort Lauderdale, or The Keys. ❤️🌝
I’m i’m looking at a Avett HXW Raptor
Yes sir they are there.... we have them...
Did you find what you needed
Sry to ask you make video on the hxw but not the hx why that
Qe actually have a few of the hx spooling it is hx orange raptor
Thanks man you videos are great
Thank you very much where do you fish from?
Ensenada Mexico but I have a calstar 8' rod 80-130 with avet reel hx 3 speed raptor, op any fish out here
Very nice yes sir they are a beast of a reel but we like line capacity for land based fishing.. and the hx doesn't hold what we want ... in worst case scenarios
Very informational and after seeing this I think I better set my sights. On being able to land only 6 footers and under. On my 11000 spinning reel. Probably more realistic and doable. As always, God Bless you and your family love y'all my friends
Cool deal and thanks for watching Lee us know how that works out for you...

Is true bait
You missed th jx size reel. Sx, mx, jx, lx, hx
The j series goes for all these size sxj, mxl, jx, hxj.... those are their own series of narrow jigging reels..
Music makes it very difficult to keep track of what he's saying.
Most definitely will have to do another video to update this one for sure it was back before I learned how to control the music

I heard the intro music, left a comment... Then I left the site!
Bye bye Carl...
@@TeamHardLife Okay, consider your audience??? Just saying, how many self made men, listen to that crap??? You can put your head in the sand, yet ask your self, am I a self made man? All I am saying, is, you will triple your viewer count by going with a neutral music...
@@Bernardough question for you...
Did you even listen to the words of the song before you casted judgement?
@@TeamHardLife I did not, I just heard it and associated it with the violent and disrespectful towards woman lyrics that seem to have infected so much of that genre. I do not intend to be disrespectful, I am just saddened at what has become the norm. Singing about hitting B!tches, Slapping Ho's, popping a cap in someones a$$, plain ole debased violence and etcetera... I love my country as is and I am saddened by its' degradation.
Well you definitely judged a book by its cover sorry youtube didn't show me your comments til now I am finding so many comments that were missed.. So, just a heads up the music is all about fishing and enjoying the outdoors... no disrespect towards anyone .. and hopefully your have stuck around to see that is how we keep our channel no trolling and or bashing...
How much sir
For which one? We sell all the sizes however some of the colors are not available like orange, pink, and several more
Awesome. Vid
Thank you
Doesn't avet have 7 different sizes not 4?
Yes they have 8 actually we were just talking about the casting version sizes.
Turn off the music. Very distracting from the content.
Yes this was done before I truly learned how to control the music sorry about that..

Literally u need to turn the music down, I had to replay a bundle of times cuz allot of the dialogue got distorted.
Yes that video ended up that way
You don't need to put on background music. It's a distraction.
Sorry I was still learning how to edit the videos and control the sound level of music
Great info,now I can have my garage sale,lol
Yes sir have had a few friends do that as well.. and also learned the hard way they got what they could and now they are selling again to upgrade to the Raptors... I was my fault I lent them my reels while we were fishing together....
50exw 3 speed is crazy
I wish they made a 80exw trx in 3 speed that would be the end all of reels
Great video if we new how to use them we would oun them great videos
Well if you can make it down here we would def have to make a trip..
