The ones at the Ho Show seemed much more civilized. Has Avet fiddled with the detents & cam profiles?
Do Avets have the Bellevilles on the spool spindles like other lever drags. Avet's big deal was always the powerful drags. Maybe every other Avet I handled was set up for MAX drag?

Avet has changed their design with the advent of the TRX - Quad. It is a totally unique design and one of the features is that you can adjust the drag while the drag is engaged. I think that they are the only reel on the market that can do that.
Due to the design, there is almost no pressure on the lever as you push it forward to increase the drag.
I am not a saleman for Avet but they do sponsor the radio show. I would still be a fan if they did not.
BD should do a factory tour. It's an eyeopener. All we need is 25 - 30 and they will set up a private tour with food and snacks and pro staff presentations.
