At least they work well under proper test conditions. 
 

 

Thanks for checking @Yorkie Angler. Appreciated 👍
Maybe I got a duff blank or maybe they have changed the blanks now. I should hear from the manufacturer via the retailer on Tuesday. Let's see...

Had a check, I thought I had the full range of GX2s but have 2 x GX2 12/20.
measured them & they are both @2.8 mm

The following left handed reels are the ones I mainly use. The accurate & Everol are very expensive. The raptors are as well.
I use an Accurate 600NN for pirking/heavy wrecking.
An avet sx raptor for shadding.
An avet sxj raptor for uptiding. 
A Penn Fathom ll FTH15 LWLH for drifting for plaice (found the braid cutting into my thumb drifting for plaice after a couple of days with the sxj so got a reel with a level wind)
I’ve bought a Shimano Torium 16 HG-A L. & a Shimano Torium 30 HG-A L both left hand star drags. Not used them yet. But both are very smooth.
I got an everol VJ6 light as a Xmas present. With the spool button release. Had a go shadding with it, but the braid would easily build up the side of the reel spool then drop causing the line to go loose on the spool. Think it was due to the Angle of the sides of the spool. Got a bit annoying using it.

That looks like the entire annual budget for Bolivia right there 🤣

@Yorkie Angler, I do like reel porn! They look lovely 👍

It's a very old copy of the Daily Mirror, dated September 16th, 1941. I found it blocking up an air vent when I was redecorating the old part of the house. A previous owner must have stuffed it in there to stop drafts. It was very fragile so I had it framed to preserve it and it makes a nice thing to hang on the wall, given the historical context.

I was never confident using 2 fine wire hooks just incase I lost a fish of a lifetime with the hooks snapping.

Also I use a fine wire hook as well as a heavy gauge hook, the fine wire hook would snap on a wreck so that use to help with the tackle loss as well. Use to just change both hooks out when I snapped the fine wire then remake them up when I got home.

I stick them on assist hooks to the bottom of pirks for 2 reasons, first as an attractor then second, I reckon it actually stopped me loosing as many pirks into wrecks as they added a bit more buoyancy to the hooks.

My first Avet was just an JX, then I got a Sx, 3rd one was the SXJ mc. I was that chuffed with the magnetic brake stopping over runs I bought an mc frame for the JX.
after that I got the MC in an SX & a MX.
the raptors I got because I fancied 2 speed reels so I just got the top of the range in them.
to be honest the main thing about the Avets to me is the MC to stop over runs either uptiding or not paying attention when dropping bottom fishing.
