I'm using a OTI Fathom Blade with a AVET HX 2 speed right now.....love the set up...fairly light weight. I was using a Shimano Trevalla and a AVET LX a couple of years ago until I got absolutely HOUSED by a fish. The LX had no play to clip into a harness and the Travella flexed so much that the line cut through the foam handle and started to rub against the winding check. That set up has been retired to ground fishing!

here is the clip:
