I had no idea they had the dual braking system....The Pflueger Patriarch has this system and it is virtually limitless as to the settings....completely customizable to your personal style. The Patriarchs centrifugal brake is great on it's own and can cast a mile without the magnetic brake at all
The Morris reels out the past 2 years have the same dual braking as the Patriarchs but IMO, the Patriarch is a superior reel. This is coming from someone who owns 6 Patriarchs and 4 JM sig series reels.
The Morris reels, nice as they are are big and rather heavy. It looks like they've gotten the Titanium deposition finish fixed as well as previous versions of the Johnny Morris reels would tarnish after a couple years of usage. Still a very good reel though.
I knew the JM had the dual braking system but had no idea that the others did this year. I have never used the JM but I just bought a second Patriarch and if they are anywhere near as good, seem to be pretty mush the same as the Patriarch, then 129 would be a great deal
