Avets are good for Yoyo and bait, but I would never buy one for surface jigs. Can be a pain for that. Adjusting freespool will change the drag adjustment as well. Also remember that changing your max drag on a lever drag requires the reel to be in freespool. So if you are fighting a fish with an avet and you hook a screamer that's about to spool you, to add max drag you would have to put the reel in freespool to make this adjustment.
