I have two Avets. An SX and a JX. I don't believe in magging. It's not neccessary, and as a matter of fact, I believe that mags can do more harm than good.
You wind up relying on the reel instead of your casting skills.
Just a personal opinion.
What you have to do is practice, practice, practice.
Get yourself an educated thumb. If you're planning on using some type of "Braid" line on it, I would first fill the spool with mono and practice with that till you get proficient with it unless you want to spend countless time undoing your backlashes.
I use mono exclusively on my Avets and get fantastic distance with them using 8 foot rods.
The casting adjustments on an Avet can be tricky. It's a matter of trial and error.
