Excellent customer service and fast shipping. My rod arrived protected in a plastic pvc pipe and covered on both ends. When I received it there was no doubt in my mind that my pole was in perfect condition. Chark Bait took the time to properly package and ship my investment. I truly appreciate that and it shows the experience and pride they take in their company. Well done and much Aloha from Maui Hawaii..100 % Satusfied customer

Very, very well made rods. I love the 60/40 two piece set-up that eliminates weak points in the middle of the rod during hard fights. The backbone on this rod is insane and should have no problem hauling in triple digit GT's or other hard fighting fish. Shipping and service was top notch. Money we'll spent.

Great reel, service and price.

Great rubber net!!! And no hooks IN the net!

Charkbait is the epitomy of "old world" and ever presently important in these times. SUPPORT THIS COMPANY. The owner called me personally to speak about details with my order. This never would have happened with Amazon. Support loving family owned businesses like Charkbait who bend over backwards to SUPPORT THEIR CUSTOMERS. Oh, and to boot, the reel arrived a day after purchase so Amazons got nothing on these fabulous people.

I have been a customer of Charkbait since MS first began selling gear online. He was and is the real deal. Always takes care of his customers and has the sales volume to prove it.? An American small business success story.
🤠💫🤠

Avet Raptors are as good as it gets (in my opinion) when you need a reel that will haul a big grouper off the rocks or pull double-duty and troll a big jethead on the shotgun rod (when out trolling for mahi and tuna). Kicks a$$, takes-names….
Charkbait got this to me quick to get me fishing FAST!

I really like shopping here, everything arrives on time and safely, I highly recommend it.

Top notch Customer Service. These guys always take the time to talk to you about whatever questions you may have.

Initially the price is what got my attention, I ordered one and when I received it I noticed it's almost the size of my Avet HXJ raptor which is one of my favorite overall big yellowtail/ Tuna fishing reels when using jigs of live bait. I started playing around with the 15T reel and noticed it has a super ultra smooth free spool and quality of the build/machining is outstanding, so I literally ordered another one, that's how impressed I was. Highly recommend this reel if you typically go after larger fish and use 80lb braid with a short leader.

Haven’t fished the reel yet but it feels high quality just like the Makaira I bought at the same time.. can’t wait to get it on the water

Always my go shop for off and near shore saltwater gear. Mark's family run business is one of kind, with top quality gear and help when ever you need it. They only thing better than their shop is fishing with them on their off shore trips on the Royal Polaris. Keep it going guys!

Thanks for all your help and support for me to leve Utah with Confidence in going after bluefin tuna , being successful with your products.

This surface iron swims perfectly with a wide, erratic kick that drives fish crazy. It casts far, holds up against tough fights, and works great at various speeds. I’ve landed plenty of yellowtail and bonito with it—definitely a must-have in any tackle box!

Exactly what I was looking for in a Jig everyone should have one in their tackle box.
