Hey Fellas,
   Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the vid too! I'm not done with that little reel yet. I'll prolly return her to catfishing duty eventually, but I'd like to catch a few bigger bass on her first. I still can't believe it cast that wacky worm with the tiny split shot. I think the magnet really helps.

Mo; you used one button magnet on the none handle side of the reel but did you add a magnet to the spool? I'm thinking of maging my JigMasters and I know they have aluminum spools so 1 mag will not work, at least i don't think so. So I would need to know what to do with the magnets N to S and how to position them.

Thanks...........Joe

  One magnet will do fine on a small reel like this 109. Look inside your Mag 10...only one magnet there too! The process doesn't work like you'd think, no magnets are needed on the spool. The spool slowing effect is created by spinning a conductor in a magnetic field...not spinning magnets past another stationary magnet. Google "Lenz's Law", then you'll understand it. I posted on your thread asking about magging, if you run into trouble message me.

Mo; I read your response to my post and I thank you for the picture tutorial, I have to get the mags and I'm all set.
