Default What's with this crap!

Have you guys and gals noticed that alot of the newer baitcasters that companies are manufacturing now have magnetic braking systems or magnetic/centrifugal instead of centrifugal brakes only? Centrifugal only baitcasters are all I've ever fished with, (for example the old Curados and the old BPS Extremes) so I decided to give the new BPS ITB mag brake systems a try and didn't think it would be to different, boy was I wrong! It's almost like I've never used a baitcaster in my life, I was bird nesting like crazy, and then the dreaded eagles nest happened! I would consider myself close to being an expert with a baitcaster(with centrifugal brakes) and my official opinion on mag brakes is they suck! I hope the industry doesn't weed out centrifugal only baitcasters, that would be a shame. They ruined the new BPS Extremes in my opinion, what's everyones thought on this?
