as said its the first one ive had so its just what ive read and been told off a lad I work with,he got chris macey to do his reel,he seems to make a good job.anyway been on phone for a hour to Jamie at pmr and he asked for pics of the mag ect,the reels away down to him now ,hes using it as a bit of a prototype and re drilling the plate then putting a big 12mm mono mag on it,ill put some pics up when it comes back
Was going to get jamie at pmr to do my fth12,but after speaking with him he didn't have any mag conversions that was strong/good enuff to stop/slow dwn the fth.He could of done the mod 4 me but wasn't 100% happy with it,but he was in the middle of producing an endplate mag n a seperate mono mag 4 use in the conversions,said that it was going to be a while tho b4 they came available.Me been eager i couldn't wait so i asked chris n he said he was 110% happy with his mags n conversions,well that was good enuff 4 me lol,never looked bk.Jamie did say they would be available 4 the 525's n the fth's n that it would be "right"when they were ready n that they r worth waiting 4.
ps just my bit to the thread lol.

spoke to him a few times in last couple of weeks,he did say the full side plate was a way off yet but hes using my reel to fit a bigger 12mm mag.i spoke with him this morning and sent him the full reel down so he can do the mod and set it up right.ill post pics when back and ive had a few casts with it.cant fault the akios plates he done for me.interesting guy when you get talking to him
the chris macey mags do look spot on.a mate of mines had one done and says he does a great job
sure does a good job,very very tidy,espesh the sealing of the mag knob,keeps the sand n grit art.U will be happy with jamies work,he can talk 4 england but he has very high standards when it comes to reelsn he sure knows wot he's talking about.

yeah I was well pleased with the akios plates I got off him
Whats the idea of these custom end plate screws if you dont mind me asking,are they standard with macey mag conversion,and more to the point necessary.

They r just fancy screws lol,like a thumb screw,I put them on n r nothing to do with the conversion,purely cosmeticI believe the original idea is 4 qk n easy access into your reel,but for me I like to be diff n not a follower .Gr8 when servicing the reel,just a few turns n your inGot them fitted to a blue 7ht,had to drill the screws outa the end plate I replaced e'm with these qk release crown screws,looks mega aswell as repairing my reel

Okay thanks for that answer,give them a miss then,was only looking on a practical side of things,look okay but something that would bend or snap off on accidental hitting the deck hard,maybe, as they are so pronounced.In the eventual case of when l maybe replace some of my old 525mags with couple magged fathoms, not be for longtime though still going strong after nearly twenty years.
It started of years ago when lad who torny casted were using break blocks and the wind changed so they could quickly add or remove blocks, or if your a tackle tart like hound hunter sorry mate lol
