Wtb: shimano tranx or avet raptor - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Avet raptor is overkill. You would do fine with a regular avet. The reels are better at different things. I would want the tranx for jigs and the Avet for bait. But if I had to choose one of them I would go avet and save your self about $300. You could probably get 3 non-raptor avets for the price of the tranx. Or 2 Daiwa lexa 400's which are close in size to the tranx. Both of these more cost efficient reels would handle anything you will ever catch from a kayak.
