Hey FNN,
Just got my hands on a used but in great condition AVET SX 2 speed. What is the best use for an AVET SX? Would Tuna be too heavy for this reel? Thoughts on the best use for an SX 2 speed?
Thanks!

best use would be to give it to me.
2nd best would be to use on albacore and YT, Id imagine.

Yo Poxy...nice reel homie....Id back it with 250-300 yards of 50 lb spectra...top it off with 20 lb mono....thats what I do with mine..fish tuna..yellows...bass...etc with it....
Thanks Guys! I wasn't sure if it was up for Tuna and Yellows.
You can use it to fish just about anything in so cal waters. Like GD said spool with 50# spectra or my preference 65# spectra and then add a topshot of 20/25# mono and your good to go. You've got enough line on there and torque to fish everything from rockfish to tuna.
I've personally witnessed a 75# yellowfin taken with an SX 2 speed so yes it can handle just about anything in so cal.
