To all those people who rushed out and paid megabucks for Avet reels, seduced by the Gold colour.
The same ones who are now finding out what everyone else already knows - that all that glistens is not gold, and corrosion and drag problems are well known with these reels.

From Mr Watson
�well we all know that a feature of the ITM Fishing Show is the underwater footage and the filming of the underwater footage has for the most part been filmed by me. So it was with some surprise that I noticed Kerren pick up the underwater camera while I was fishing�.but Kezza wasn�t too keen on getting into the 11 deg water so instead he leaned over the side with celly in top pocket what followed was �plop���Fark..that was my farken phone� all on board refrained from laughing at the large tattooed guy who I tried to help vent and get it out of his system as it was early in the trip.

I own an Avet SX bought after some consultation with members of this site in this thread.
Thanks Bender and "everyone else who already knows" as I dont recall anyone posting anything about corrosion or drag problems when I was considering what to buy. And now you come out with this.
If the problems with these reels were so "well known" then why didnt someone say something at the time?
Nominate THEM for the April award Boz, for not warning you off
Plenty of April left yet to find some nominations eh boys?

I didn't know then and was veeeery tempted to join the mass exodus. But I asked myself the question - is there anything, apart from a sexy colour, that an Avet would give me that my Penn 525 mag doesn't?
Couldn't justify the expense. Since then there has been quite a lot on the hull truth site about bearings dying through sale water ingress and corrosion.
BTW - Boulder recommended a couple of inexpensive alternatives on that thread and you didn;t listen to him did you (even though hes done plenty if fishing and owns three of every reel ever made)?
