Unhappy

I don't want to sound ignorant, although it wouldn't be the first time,, but what are the advantages/disadvantages of a "magged" reel ?

mags help control the spool at insane rpm's. If you have a fast reel with suped up bearings and lite oil, the mags help you from avoiding backlases on casting. Some reels come with stock mags you can adjust like the Abu mag elites, but reels that do not come with mags can be magged with the magnets mentioned above...

casting went well
im going to spool it up with some 25 or 30 mono and i should be able to double my distance. might add another mag, there was a huge difference with them in.

mags, like $2, turning a 50 year old jigmaster into a viable surf fishing machine, Awsome.

live to fish. fish to live. rod tips high.
