thinking of going with either an Avet or the Cabo PT....anyone have any experiance with them????

No experience at all. But what price range and how will you be fishing?

2 beans, up to my arms pits in water :D is there any other way?

Have heard alot of good things from Flap about the Cabo, and lots a guys have suggested the avet:smash: decisions decisions

Toby pretty much sold me on the Avet....and the Penn GS525, the non-mag'ed version. For the same rod.

I have a 525 Mag on the 1088... I like it, balances well...
