[mardenq]

anyone use the Knobby Mag Conversion on this reel.ive done them on a 650 abu and fancy putting one on my 20 and 30,ive heard mixed views on this conversion so if anyone has got one or cast one that could give me feedback that would be great

did my own mag conversion on a slosh 30 a few yrs back just used the ratchet hole pretty easy to do.
to be honest imo brake blocks are just as good on these type of reels especialy the 30.

other prob i find when magging reels up the ajustment knob can be annoying as they stick out somewhat and get in the way when reeling in thats what i find anyway.

i know you mention the diawa slosh 30 but the penn 535 which is same size as slosh 30 has a factory magnetic control system already fitted.

I have my slosh 30 magged mate bought the conversion kit from spottydog think it was £16
Yes it does make a difference i can cast alot further now that its magged
The down side is that you loose the ratchet
I also DONT think it gets in the way its fine for me. Ive never had a problem with mine and still (touch wood) havnt had an overrun

I see them as unneccessary

I think its more important to set up the centrefugal braking correctly by swapping blocks and adjusting end float correctly

But then again ive never tried a one thats magged..

[david.northeast]

Aye thats the one mate blackdog heres me saying spottydog

on the SHA range of SLOSH`s a mag is needed to get most from reel as i find with one brake block they run to fast and with 2 to slow!

I have 2 magged up 20 SHA`s (one from John R above!) for distance / beach

and 2 magged up 30 SHA`s for rough stuff.

I can get the 20`s as far as any 7HT or 6500 or akios with 15lb line...
so hence why i sold my sportshuttle recently.

Andy Rutherford has some nice mono mags in, dead easy to do yourself.

hi geordie .
just bought a diawa 30 shv filled it wth 15lb diawa sensor line .went down tyne after work fri put reel on m4 gt with 190 grm lead.

i put two medium sized blocks in yellow rocket fuel in bearing i think i put,far enough distance for me reel sounded great i dont know the distance cant walk on water but i was more than impressed on were lead landed in the water wth a strong side wind as well.

i wont be magging any of the 20 or 30s up again not needed in my opion .
only prob wth brake blocks is they keep getting lost but the magnet knob for me as i already have said gets in the way for me.
