Daiwa Magforce Brake System

 Mag Force V and Z system of Daiwa is the most advanced brake system currently available.  What makes it the most advanced is the ability to address the requirements at all speed ranges, and relatively wide adjusting range at middle speed.
The Flying Arm, IVCB comes to the second, a little a head of 4x4 SVS, because of continuous adjusting range.  Shimano's SVS, Conventional magnet, Combination of magnet and centrifugal will come next.  Although SVS is very refined system, troubles of changing setting is a large drawbacks.  If you don't cast against wind, SVS will come close to 4x4 SVS though.  This conclusion doesn't immediately mean that the reel with Mag Force V is the best fishing reel. Performances of casting reels are affected by more factors, like inertia of spool, smoothness of ball bearings, stiffness of frame, weight and etc.  I admit Shimano's SVS casts very well in normal conditions, and I love it.  Hope this help you understand the differences of brake systems and find the best performing reel to you.
