Yeah not a huge avet fan at all especially for kAyAk fishing . There is not really a sweet spot on bait clicker when trolling bait unless you back way down on drag tension. But your adjusting but the right way don't put grease on the drag washers you'll ruin them

AND...Do not put the reel into, "FULL" while the drag setting is tight otherwise you will crush the pinion bearing. If you crush the pinion bearing you will know right away...
