Avid Carp AV8000 is viewed by many anglers as a baby big pit reel. This is because it’s a shrunk-down version of its bigger brother. This means it might not cast extreme distances but can still achieve 70% of what any big pit design can do.
The smaller nature of the Avid AV8000 makes it ideal for coupling with shorter 9ft and 10ft carp rods, making it a perfect combination for roving anglers. In addition, the reel has a deep spool and yet creates minimal friction when casting, enabling the use of higher diameter lines.
The AV8000 is fitted with a front drag, which can also be used as a flighting drag, or in free spool mode, by turning the front sited button. There are 7 stainlesssteel ball bearings and one roller bearing, making this baby big pit reel operate extremely smoothly.
The Avid Carp AV8000 has a stunning-looking machined handle, featuring a soft touch grip and lots of rotational power. Other top features are a stainless shaft, oversized bail arm and customised front drag, all helping to make this top reel easy to operate.
