Opinions on lever drag conventionals.

[reelecstasy]

I like the avet and have heard you are gonna wanna mag it as it is fast as all hell outta the box, but I have spoken to a few people that have steered me away from the lever drags.. Something about when you make an adjustment on the drag you need to adjust something else as well? 2 adjustments to make one...
I love my push button personally

I just bought two Avets, the sx and lx, and I plan on using them on a boat. I went with the lever drag reels because I plan on using them mainly for trolling. With the lever drag you can set your strike drag and then back off on the lever for just enough drag for trolling. I like to set a lighter drag for when the fish strikes and then the move the lever up to the strike drag setting when fighting the fish. You can only adjust the drag knob setting when the reel is in freespool. I think this is what reelecstacy was referring too.
