Today I decided to mag this nice little reel, I didn't want to mess with metal plates and magnets, so I decided to give this a try:

If you wanted to try it as well, you will need to grind the back flat

rough up the spot to be epoxied in, mix some 5 minute epoxy and set it in place.

The opposite side of the clicker seems to be the perfect spot




I checked the spool and everything else and all is working nicely.
Any questions...just ask!

Great work, Sal!

That is a very capable reel now -- both in strength, and free spool performance.

Best,

Looks great, Sal.
What was the impact on casting distance.

I don't know yet Ron, all I can tell you is that I love these reels with magnets. I was never able to cast conventional reels, now I can't put them down, The 970 casts like a dream.
I also have a few 980 and 990.
These should also do great, I gave it a shot in back of my house and I can tell they're going to do just fine.

Cracker Job Sal! ;D

Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

John, I believe its a 24-66, I also like the 24-155. I was buying lots of 24-56, they looked great, but to me they didn't feel right while fishing. I'm slowly getting rid of them, I think I have a couple left.
These counterbalanced are great to use, I requested some from Adam, those are a little larger than the 24-155, but still about 3/8" smaller than the 24-66.
I actually received some today from him ;D.

Would a nice used Ice Blue Accurate frame with a Newell 100 spool for $95 plus $6 for shipping by Priority Mail work for you?
