I prefer a star drag, but I do have a Tyrnos 8 lever drag that I really like. I mostly use it for making bait, but sometimes I'll use a topshot and fish bait with it. I've fished it 2 years without a service, so it passes the test in my book.
I haven't had much luck with my Avets on the kayak. Good reels, but IMO they don't really stand up to the hard use we put them through on the yak.
