@lucasgp8904 Hi, if the choice is between those two reels, I would get the Aventik CM because it costs slightly less than the ECO and, in my opinion, is the better reel. Also, I own both and much prefer the Aventik CM. Keep in mind that for most cases of fly fishing, the reel is to only hold the line, nothing more. You strip the fish in and let the tip of the rod protect your tippet. That being said, for those cases both of these reels are fine, I just think the Aventik is slightly better in terms of quality and looks, with the exception of the super small drag adjustment knob. But it works as intended. Now, if you plan to target larger fish, for instance carp, then you would benefit from a proper drag system to further protect your tippet and prevent the fish from breaking off. I had problems with the drag on the ECO before while the drag on the Aventik worked just fine after I had it dialed in. Keep in mind that these are entry level budget reels, so you can't expect too much. Lastly, if you have more questions, don't be afraid to reach out. I'd be happy to help you with your fly fishing needs. Cheers!
in your experience, Between the Maxcatch Eco and the Aventic CM, which one would you buy?
