I am gonna show you how to make this simple surf fishing and long casting adjustment that will eliminate any backlash! This is how to install and modify any conventional reel!
Another option would be to epoxy stainless steel washers to the frame . The neo magnets can be attached / removed from the washers allowing you to return to "non-magged" state "if" desired. Could also experiment with polarity of the magnet sets if using 2 or more like you did.
I was gonna do that, but I doubt I would want a 'non-magged' version. The washer trick works, that's how a lot of people do it. They also do the +-+- polarity, but the way I did it worked very well.
@@BeachBomberFishing Yep, absolutely . Might still be useful in tuning ie. adding / removing individual magnets depending on line , weight . I'm gonna try this on my saltist 30 once the weather gets better.
Performed this mod on a saltist 30 that was a bit unruly . One strong 12 mm neo magnet from home Depot on the gear side assembly (not the clicker side unlike other reels) was all that it took to control this reel. Had to improvise a bit to clear the ribs though (I expoxied a weak 2 or 3 mm thick magnet as a spacer to clear the ribs on the sideplate .. and the strong magnet attached to the weak magnet ..this would not be needed if if had been able to find a strong 10mm neo magnet locally). Threw a 4 oz weight 150 yards into the water with no drama. Thanks again !
My last post I shared w/ you how I had this problem many yrs ago & that it led me to never use bait-cast again. I know you saw my post & TY for this "FiX". Say hi to the family. peace
This is great news.to see.because I've always thumb.draged my spool.to keep from bird nesting my line.thanks so much for the infro bro.keep.it coming.i watch you daily.Godbless you
Great hack for converting older Penn reels into beachcasters. I've done this with a Penn 155 Beachmaster, and a Penn Mag-tuned 10... which already had a factory magnet, but needed some more once I took out the levelwind. Just have to do a little trial and error to find out exactly how many magnets are needed for a given reel without totally killing the spool speed.
@@BeachBomberFishing I’ve seen how this mag system is done … just didn’t know it was called a static mag … either way it’s better than no mag at all… Now that I’ve thought about it… I have quite a few reels to mag ….going to make good use of my drill press …🤙😎🤙
Great Video! Try a piece of old leather belt instead of the surgurgal tube. The width of the belt makes it easier to "Thumb". The legendary Lefty Kreh used the belt trick on his Pflueger fly reels as a drag when fighting Tarpon, and such from spooling him. Please Be Well, and Stay Strong, Will
Having used the piece of leather belt on some of my older fly reels in saltwater I would hit the leather with a shot of Armor All, no big thing. However, you have to use what you believe will work best for you! Please Be Well, and Best of Luck in all things, Will @@mosquitofleetfishing6599
I have the okuma SS baitcasting reel, it had a line counter,when I got it, didn't know it didn't have magnetic, I couldn't cast it like a normal baitcasting reel with magnetic, so I wanted to know if that would work on that reel I have, and the magnetic u used what was the strength of it. Please let me know thanks
How fast do y’all run your fishing reels? I’ve got a couple Akios F15 Nitrons & I run them somewhere around 8-10 seconds if the wind allows. The best investment as far as distance casting is concerned should be on casting technique; brute force & a bait caster make for a long day.
I have a daiwa seagate 30 and it hardly bird nest with no magnets it definitely has my avet raptors beat in distance actually secound gear on my avet which is a low gear ratio feels the same smoothest on my daiwa with its fast gear ratio which i was surprised
I’ll give a tip for the daiwa saltist and saltiga reels. Glue the mags on the plate the side the reel side. Put the mags on the side the spool is on and it has like slots you can put them. It’s way more effective.
@BeachBomberFishing correct.. my pops handed em down to me..smallest reels I could mag..the senator 114h was mag'd back in the day along with the jig master 500
The thumb saver is not a new idea. Back in the days of direct drive "knucklebuster" reels, when fishing for larger fish, one would often attach a leather tab or the thumb from a glove to the reel frame, so you could use it as a spool brake by applying thumb pressure. When modern reels with gears, free spooling, anti-reverse, level winders, and star drags became a thing, most of the old knucklebusters got tossed but you will still run across them occasionally. By 1950 or a bit later, modern reels were replacing the old style pretty quickly and also spinning reels and mono burst on the scene not long after. When fighting a fish that makes long runs, you should keep some water handy to cool your spool and your thumb saver. Your magnets don't have to be opposite each other. They can be right next to each other, and this can be particularly handy if you want to make an internal magnet holder adjusted by a screw. One of these days I am going to take one of my old 209's and machine a side plate for it with room for both adjustable centrifugal braking and also magnetic braking with an adjusting lever, so I can back it off to zero during the ballistic phase of the cast, and reapply as it approaches the target area.
@@BeachBomberFishing yeah sealines aint dat good and the 1s avet used are good enough not to backlash. I really like the casting control on the accurates 600w tho
