Just a heads up. The Aventik Semi-Automatic reels are available again on Amazon. Don't know why, but price went up $10 since I ordered mine last week.

Not a very large reel. They say for 2 to 4 wt lines with about 80 feet of 20# backing.

The price of everything is up these days, very baffling.

Is that a plastic housing?

Anyone with actual fishing experience with this reel? Looks interesting.

Just wait, the price will come down. I bought a MaxCatch version and the prices moved around then too. I think it's just pricing tactics, but I don't know.

Amazon frequently runs loss leaders - I've paid $50/ for 3 $100 Tica spinning reels just by randomly being there.

Bill de Brooklyn is the member who has fished these and included them in his book on semi-autos.

I have The Aventik and the Maxcatch . I like them both . The Aventik came with an extra spool but I lost it in all my fishing junk . I do think its a better deal than the Max .
