Product Description
Avet Drive Shaft | HX & JX Series Reels
Restore the structural integrity and cranking smoothness of your reel with the genuine Avet Drive Shaft. As the central pillar of the handle assembly, the drive shaft is responsible for transferring every ounce of torque from your hand to the gear train. This factory-original replacement ensures that your handle remains seated securely without "slop" or play, providing the rigid feel necessary for heavy saltwater applications.
Precision-machined from high-strength stainless steel, this drive shaft is built to resist the shearing forces of high-drag pressure and the corrosive nature of the marine environment.

This drive shaft is designed to fit the core mid-to-large frame Avet lever drag reels. It is compatible with both Single Speed and 2-Speed models in the following series:
-

Product Features
-
Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel: Crafted for maximum torsional strength to prevent twisting or bending under extreme loads.
-
Precision Threading: Features factory-spec threads for the handle nut and gear locking mechanisms, ensuring a vibration-free fit.
-
Corrosion Resistance: High-grade alloy construction prevents the "frozen" parts commonly caused by salt crystallization between the handle and shaft.
-
OEM Standard: Manufactured by Avet in the USA to the exact tolerances of your original reel components.
Lubrication & Maintenance Recommendation
The drive shaft is a primary contact point for moisture. To prevent seizing and ensure lifelong performance, we recommend using these lubricants during installation:
-
Deuthlon Reel Grease: Apply a generous coating to the length of the shaft and the threads before installing the handle and gears. This provides an airtight moisture barrier and prevents galling.
-
Deuthlon Reel Oil: Use a single drop on the drive shaft bearings to maintain a low-friction rotation and increase the sensitivity of your retrieve.
