Does anyone recommend fitting one of these, or where is the best place to buy from.
Can't see them on Blakdog.
Cheers Pete.

slosh mag conversion
It's more personal preference as to wether its worth while. the reel will be more controlable but you will lose the ratchet and the knobby can be a bit of a pain if you fish with the reel at the bottom. I've converted them in the past and can be a bit of a faff on if I remember correctly. You have to drill out the ratchet hole and grind off the graphite spacer and replace with brass washers to get a good solid fit. Following that you need to remove the 2 brass rings from the end plate and the brake block pin from the spool. If it is an older model then you also need to glue a metal disc onto the side of the spool as the magnet will not work on a graphite spool, which can cause an inbalance.
Blakdog and rutherfords used to sell the kits for about £10
if you need any help give me a shout. I might even have a kit knocking about somewhere.
