The Avet PRO-EX 50 2-speed is an open top San Diego Style 50 LB Class 2 Speed standard size spool aluminum lever drag fishing reel. This reel may be used for all types of offshore trolling, as well as for fishing the bottom. The reel foot of the reel allows this reel to be ideally mounted on a 24 mm diameter reel seat, or a #2 aluminum butt. Those wishing to stand up fish may use this reel effortlessly. At 3.9 LBS this reel is very manageable. A short curved #2 butt would be my first choice for standup or bottom fishing when using the 50 lb class reels. This reel is sometimes referred to as a "narrow spool 50" the word narrow is used when compared to the wide spool, however, this reel has a standard size spool found on non-wide 50 lb class reels.

This is a 2-speed reel. The high retrieve allows for 37 inches per crank of line pick up speed, while the more powerful, and less stressful low retrieve allows for 15 inches per crank. The Avet 50 2-Speed is a great choice for fishing offshore. This reel is perfectly capable of handling marlin, tuna, Mahi, and it is also suitable for fishing the bottom, for grouper, and other bottom dwellers. This reel may be spooled with 50 LB Test Monofilament, or 80 LB to 130 LB test braided Spectra for larger line capacity. The T-Bar handle is ergonomically designed for angler comfort.

In addition, we also have an electric drive manufactured by Dolphin Electric Reels that will fit this reel. This allows the angler to use the reel as an electric deep drop, swordfishing, or power assist reel. The Dolphin Motor Drive allows the angler to keep all the functions of a big game reel while maintaining total reel balance on the rod. Our motors DO NOT HANG on the side of the reel, instead, the weight is equally distributed across the reels width. This allows the reel to be more manageable, and because it is balanced, it will NOT put uneven weight on the rod butt. The power cord on the Dolphin Drive is removable, this allows the reel to be used stand up and facilitates moving around the boat since the angler is not tethered to an electrical cord.

The patented Dolphin Drive features a motor that can pull 175 LBS of dead weight, as well as a full warranty on the drive. In addition, the drive can be anodized to match the color of the reel. When using the Dolphin Drive, the reel handle will NOT turn. Electric reels where the handle turns when the reel is turned on, present a safety hazard that may cause serious injury. The Dolphin Electric Reel handle assembly is an exclusive patent of Dolphin Electric Reels. For additional information on our electric drive, please call (954) 263-6177.
