It broke my heart - but I broke the Avet down as far as I dared (did I mention I'm a googin ?) Don't know whether the picture will show it but attached to the side of the spool (middle item) with a "keeper ring" is the HT 100 drag material same as a Penn (or so I've been told) a very simple but effective - thus far - lever drag concept . . . I have this reel set at 15 pounds of drag (remember this is 50 pound mono for cod - your mileage may vary). Notice the simplicity of the "take down" two screws on the frame and one thumb screw on the lever drag was all it took to break this down.
