Was wondering what the pro’s and con’s of a bait casting reel with magnetic brakes verse one with a variable brake system. I have both systems and both do the job fine. One obvious advantage, to me anyway, is that with the magnetic system you can adjust them really quick from the outside. The variable system requires you to remove the plate and adjust the plastic pins, taking a little more time and hassle.
I've then heard reels like the Browning Midas that has both systems. Are they truly the best of both worlds??
I ask the question because I’m thinking about getting a rod and reel designated for fishing jig and pigs, both pitching them and casting them to deep water ledges. Would one system be better than the other? Don’t know if it really matters, but wanted other opinions. Thanks!!
