Won a Used Avet...

[jrodda]

JX 4.6, intend on using it as a heavy jigstick reel, moving my two other JXs to different posts.

Normally I can't go wrong with an ebay avet. This one arrived kinda dirty and grinding though. Oh boy! Gave it a cleaning and the gears obviously need replacing. A first for me with Avets, normally the steel straight teeth hold up.

Trying to find the parts online and I have to go directly through them. Other forums brought up that they are horrendous to get parts from, so I might be in for a headache with this.

At least I don't use the heavy jigstick too much. It will free up the others to be on more frequently used rigs. 2 speed for threshers and light trolling, 6.0 for deep drops.

I've never had serious issues ordering parts from Avet and I've ordered tons of bearings from them.

 I don't own one yet, I hear they are great reels. On our way back from Bishop in a couple weeks we will be stopping at Bass Pro for lunch and A leg stretch, maybe I'll take a look at the Avets again.

Do you email them or call them? They didn't get back to my email today, hope I remember to call after work tomorrow to see if that works better.

Last time I needed a clamp and some information, I had to call.  I sent an email, but that took 3 days before they got back to me. lol

I always called. The ladies I've dealt with on the phone have been awesome. If they give you sh!t ask for Scott.
