avet reels

#1 Post by paul mason »

I am thinking of investing in one of the avet reels for light boat fishing come shore fishing any one any ideas on models, where they can bought in Ireland or uk i'v drawn a blank, is it very expensive to get them shipped over from the USA.

Ys Tom does have some but he's very covetous of them, i'm trying to find out is there anywhere this side of the pond so i dont have to pay those ridiculous charges. Not interested in a daiwa have me heart set on a avet i think they are a class reel but a little expensive to import.

more options here: http://get4it.co.uk/ebay_research/price ... query=avet

this one is from the states, new with blemishes, seems to happen frequently during engraving, sold a lot cheaper as a result: http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... SS:IE:1123
