Avet Reels offers perfect lineup of reels for tournament anglers

Avet, the official reel of the WON /Yamaha Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot, offers tournament anglers a selection of reels that will handle any situation. From slow trolling live bait, to a faster troll with a spread of feathers behind the boat to casting on breaking fish, if you want to win this year's Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot you have to be ready for anything. Avet Reels has you covered.

New for this year! Tournament anglers will be excited to know that the largest wahoo, dorado and tuna whether they are in jackpots or not will each result in a new Avet Reel for the team's captain. And, the three reels will be engraved: "2009 Tuna Jackpot Biggest Wahoo", "2009 Tuna Jackpot Biggest Tuna" and "2009 Tuna Jackpot Biggest Wahoo."

In addition, four reels will given out in the Avet/Seeker/Berkley Casting Contest the first day, packaged with Seeker rods a and Berkley line.

"Avet has taken the industry by storm these past 10 years and this U.S. company based in Chatsworth has a commitment to quality and innovation – and to all of our WON saltwater events," said director Pat McDonell. "There will be 14 reels given out at the Tuna Jackpot, and this year we decided to given the top three teams in each category something extra with the engraved reels. These will beautiful tools for fishing and a memento of a great tournament."

Avet reels are made for fishermen, by fishermen. You can see that in the full model line that has something for everyone. Trolling live bait, whether it is small tuna, skipjack, caballito, or chuihuile, is a preferred method for catching tournament winning fish. This requires a reel with tremendous drag pressure, lots of line capacity, the ability to have total free spool, and of course a two speed mechanism to power the giant up out of the depths. Avet Pro 30W II, Pro 50 II, and Pro 50 W II are ideal for this application. They produce over 28 pounds of drag at strike, can hold more than enough 100 pound braided line with top shot, have a smooth two speed shifting mechanism, and can go into total free spool, so when the fish picks up the bait, there is no drag pressure on the line coming off the reel, critical in getting the fish to take the bait all the way.

The Avet Pro 30W II, Pro 50 II and Pro 50 W II are also the preferred reels when trolling feathers and plugs for tournament anglers. The large amount of line capacity and the high drag pressure available ensure that you will be ready if opportunity knocks.

Sometimes the fish are up crashing the surface, chasing bait, and creating havoc as they pop up here, there, and everywhere but behind the boat. Under these circumstances, the ability to make long casts with a surface iron or other lure may be the only way to get bit. The Avet HX 2 speeds were built from the ground up for just these circumstances. Wahoo fishermen love the high (5:1) gear, combined with the larger spool diameter, for burning the jig through the water. Big tuna chasing bait also love that fast moving lure, and when one crashes the surface and inhales your jig, you will love this reel too! Plenty of line capacity, powerful drag system, power handle, and a low speed of 2.3:1 allow anglers using this new reel to conquer the unlucky tuna that just ate their jig.

Avet Reels wishes all tournament anglers good luck and tight lines. Remember, Wind Easy, Cast Farther, GO AVET! For more information, visit Avet Reels at www.Avetreels.com or call them at (877) 487-4476.
