Well just bought my first Avet MXJ6, fish with it once recently. After the trip the reel was rinsed with fresh water with the drag set at strike. After a week of air dry, I open the reel up for some inspection, noticed that salt crystal has formed around the drag and drag washer. Just hope that Avet will look into that, as I do not wish to service the reel after every trip.

PS I do not have that problem with Penn or Shimano.
