I've had the Accurist a while but have heard from some that it is dual braking and according to Tackle Warehouse, it is ACS, which in my understanding is externally adjustable centrifugal braking system. That's the best I could figure from Google. The thing is, the one that is on TWH is the newer one and I'm not sure if they updated the braking on the newer model. I know it's a kinda ignorant question and I should know my reel, but I'm just curious.

The four accurists I have- are all ACS.

Now that I think about it I remember that it has "ACS" on the braking dial. That was a brainfart. Was I correct about it just being an externally adjustable centrifugal braking system?

As far as I know. ..yes. the newer ( pt and above) have an external centrifugal brake. Now. .... the older ones, the skinny oval grey ones with silver on the front, they have a dial as well but I'm not sure if it is magnetic or acs. I want to say that it is acs where as the pt and above is "acs2".

Edit: either way- my accurists are some of the most trouble free reels I own. Good stuff.
