    Avet HX 5/2 good deal

    As I haven't done any jigging of yet and only read every thread on here for the last two months until my eyes are bleeding, I thought I could at least give a spot to pass a good deal along to everyone. As said after a lot of reading of opinions to which I thank all on this board I elected to go with the Avet HX 5/2 two speed reel. gradyfish 265 in the jigging reel thread made a lot of sense to me and if these reels can tackle a 180 lb BFT I'm buying. It seems everyone has a standard $409 price tag on them but I got hooked up with a guy who answers emails promptly and not only has them but has them for $369 on his website including shiping. He even has them in purple which I have never seen and I bought. He has the HXJ 5/2 for the same price.

    I told him to get over to this site and he can be contacted at swiftysportinggoods. He is on ebay as well but it's $20 higher there.

    Momma liked it and with me spending $1300 on two new jigging outfits after the $5k on the Intls. without any noise, I would have gotten pink if she wanted it.

    Thats cool. I had seen them in Blue Silver and Gold, (Hey ain't that a song?) but never in purple. He has those three colors as well check his site. I actually liked the looks of it as well. Thanks for serving our country well by the way and please feel free to email me any videos you might have of some Taliban dirtbags getting their due justice. I eat that up as a good bandaid for our unfortunate brothers who don't make it home as they left. coolchange27@cox.net
