Reel Question???

[BestNest]

I "serviced " my two 525 extras, is it possible that I've put 2 much yellow rocket fuel on bearings and that's why there running so fast? And number 5 on the slidey is like number 1 ??? If so what's best way to rectify? Just stick bearings in lighter fuel again and start again??? Cheers on advance. STEVEO.

Not sure but just make sure u ain't got any oil on the magnets or spool where the magnets meet mate just a thought

[adam.d]

putting too much oil on the bearings will make it slower. Put thicker oil in them if ya want it to be slower. Are you sure ya haven't lost a magnet or 2? they do have a habit of falling out of their holder!

Unless your casting for distance on a field rocket fuel is far to thin mate for fishing I just use penn oil it's spot on or good old motor oil

[g.ordon]

I thought that was the whole idea of flushing bearings out and putting thinner oil in, to make them fast. Just stick a drop of heavy oil back in to slow it up mate.

[rod-the-cod]

Been honest they are well fast enough standard knock the brakes off and they are quite fast more than enough for fishing situations

i agree with adam thats why ive stuck tad superglue on magnets to hold them in place

[BestNest]

Sound lads. Cheers. How many magnets should be inside when they come out the factory?

[rod-the-cod]

4 on a slidey on a standard
Mag I think

Yeah 525's have 4 magnets in the holder, oh and I use red rocket fuel in my 525's and yellow in my Abu 6500 mag on the field and find them spot on.

Cheers fellas.

So if I put some of the oil I got in the box with reel. It'll slow it down slightly ?
And is there a right or wrong way to glue the magnets in???

lighter fuel ya bearings again mate and clean ya magnets dry should be 4 i use yellow rocket fuel but warm it first to much oil slows the reel down

Probably mate. Unless it's rocket fuel like,

I lost all the mags out of 1 of my 525's, they went rusty so kept falling out.
I replaced them with 2 rare earth magnets from ebay. These are mega strong. I use super thin oil in the bearings on this reel, with the magnets pushed off it'll spin forever! with mags on it spins for about 5 secs
