Centrifugal versus magnets

[KP Duty]

My outing yesterday spurred this.  My Concept AK (I named it this...it's an 'A' with all the kp parts), was really beating up my zillion, and I can't imagine one of my steez's beating it either.  Closest thing to my ak would be an old burgundy scorpion 100a or a tdz 105 I used to own.  I believe the kp spool is a 10.5 grammer.  Has some crazy 0-60 times.  I'm thinking it's the btakes.   Some pics.  This is my newly discovered 'spirit lake'....a pond full of 12-14" bass for testing and lots of ticks.

 

The best backlash I could muster with brakes on 2

 

 

  Had a newbie...she's one of my roommates and 'she would love to catch a bass'.  So come on!  Unfortunately, the slider didn't produce a bass for her.....I apologized and let her know she may be the first person on earth to not get bit on a slider.  

 

 

  

 

Here's the ak....

 

No big ones here....we've got a max depth of 3 feet.  Seems to paralyze them.

If you would prefer to get laid instead of catching bass...we offer that here...

This pond is at admiral and 14t5h oklahoma mike.  I'll just tell you  before you pm me.

I was expecting to read some kind of question.  I will say that you are no where near the caster I am if that is the best backlash you could accomplish. 

 

Also I'd like to mention that a sheet goes a long way with some girls.

You're a bit odd, but that's ok.

 

Centrifugal brakes work at the start of the cast while magnetic brakes help taper the cast of toward the end. Most of us "old timers" use our thumbs for that. However, I do have a reel or two with both and I like to use those on windy days.

I am a bit odd I suppose, maybe it makes me more memorable.  I appreciate the insight on the brakes.  Some people are mechanically inclined and I'm not one of them.

That zillion minor backlash wasn't unthimbed...I could do better.

That zillion is S/V so it should be air brake not magnetic

Air brake is just a term for the inductor on the spool. It's still a magnetic braking system.

How's that zillion 12 gram spool working in your 103's?  Hope they are doing well.  See...my ex wife said I didn't listen

..I beg to differ.

But it's still different from there standard magnetic brake no

Good stuff! Always nice to see a new angler exposed to fishing. Send your thumb to school so you can get it educated!

No, the inductor extends into the magnetic ring on the non handle side plate when you make a cast and the spool is spinning. How far depends on how high you set the mag dial.  As the spool slows down the inductor retracts back down. The sv spools or 'air' brake has an inductor that extends in/out but also twists about 1/4". Sv spools also have a fairly weak inductor spring and that allows the braking to engage very easily or 'air' brake as they call it. That's why they're so controlled and don't backlash easily. Swapping out to a stiffer spring makes it take more force to activate the brake rotor and makes the spool a bit less controlled but you gain some distance. The non sv spool inductor just extends in/out. The type r+ inductor and spring is commonly swapped onto other non sv spools. Again, you lose a bit of control but gain some distance.

Hmm thanks for the know how I'm still new to all the daiwa spools not very knowledgeable on it
