Tutorial on Magging reels

[Jureal]

Hi Steve, I sent you a pm. The place that has them in Irvine may not sell retail. Their website is at http://www.amazingmagnets.com/index....Category=25595

Lee Valley's website addy is at http://www.leevalley.com/hardware/pa...48&cat=3,42363

The two sizes that I use are the 1/4 x 1/10 and the 3/8 x 1/10 of the rare earth circular magnets. If ordering from lee valley, allow about 1 week shipping as they are shipped postal ground.

Jureal has raised the bar on magging, well done. For additional input on this subject take a look a post I did when Avet reels first came out. Also would reccomend using a silicone based adhesive to attach the steel washers to the inside of the reel . The coeficient of expansion of aluminum is greater than the material the magnets are made of. This thermal expansion variation will cause the bond to separate between them. I learned this lesson the hard way, LOL.

Great job on the magging. We have used them for a long time on our tournament casting reels. The cool thing is to be able to adjust the mag while casting.

In case anyone is looking, (I know its an old thread) All Magnetics, on Via Martens in Anahiem has all the magnets you'll ever need.
