I plan to pick up an Avet SXJ 5.3 in silver this week, but figured I'd ask here first in case anyone's sitting on one looking to sell.  Planning to pair it with my Trevala TCV66M.

I have a barely used 5.1 if intrested

I'm not sure the 5.1 vs the 5.3 matters much to me, but I think I want the smaller SXJ.  However, I'm definitely open to hearing more experienced voices on why I might be wrong!  I'll be using this as a general RCG/Lingcod reel on the Trevala TCV66M.

Tell me more.  The only thing that stood out about the G2 was the increased drag, but the original SXJ seemed to have enough drag.  Maybe I'm missing something?

How much are you asking for the SX 5.1?

Go big or go home. Get a sxj raptor.

Kidding. Just get a sxj. The stuff out here you can get with a sxj. If you are going for bigger game like sturgeon get something with bigger drag and line capacity. Salmon/rockfish/ling/halibut/stripers the sxj will work.

You'll find more used sx as the sxj is a newer model maybe 4-5 years old.
