You can change the mag control when the cast gets underway: start off heavy to overcome inital surge and then back the mag off as the lure gets going. You can't change the centrifugal brakes during the cast, but they really help in slowing the spool right after the lure leaves the rod tip. Both methods work.
The penn 525mag and the abu 6500cs mag would be great reels to start on. I don't yet use shimano casting reels so
can't say anything about them.
