The normal and G2..Not the raptor. 14 lbs works great for us. Not catching Goliath or anything with that much drag, but most everything else on the bottom is no problem.
I've Owned Avet mx and sx reels, they have bearing grind and are particularly susceptible to water ingress problems. Shimano talica, and daiwa saltiga are much better for my bottom fishing. Even the penn fathom is superior. You obviously take really good care of your reels. Most people don't.
Joe, yes sir, I agree most ppl don't take them time to rinse, soap wash, dry completely and store correctly. It takes really no time to clean them up properly. They last A LOT longer.
There's some G2 models and originals in the mix. I like both. Best reels I've even owned and I've had them for a long time and added G2 models in recent years
I fish accurates, specifically like boss 500 and 600s, broke my rod last time I went out on one of them and I need to get a new rod lol
I just bought an ugly stick 8’ 50-80 for a bottom rod… paired it to a torum with 65lb braid…. Not a bad rod for the price!💪👌
Dadgum Right.. Probably won't break either!
Do you get the normal ones or the g2 or raptor im confused lol I wouldn’t think 14 lbs of drag is enough on the regular one

I’ve been looking at a 5’9 bottom fishing rod from diawa. Would you recommend against going that short for a rod, or should I go minimum 6’6
Are those the Raptor models or the G2?
