advantages/disadvantages of magnetic vs centrifugal AB systems.

Magnetic puts the same drag on the spool the duration of the cast, centrifugal winds up to a constant speed during the cast, there is nothing realy wrong with the centrifugal system execpt it has more moving parts, and sounds different when casting. I can tell you when I worked at Ace Hardware fishing section we got lots of returns on the ABU reels and little to none on the shimano's. I have over 20 shimano reels some are 15 years old and still work like they were new...DJ
