Mag conversion

[PETER]

mite sound like a daft quesion but av heard of people getting mag conversions for there reels wat advantage does this give to the reel compared to a normal reel is it to stop it flaring up or something or is it for extra distance thanks

[FISHERMAN]

Gives extra distance. Not for me like but a fair few ppl do it to tha reels theses days. Are gona do it like mate?

[PETER]

thinking about getting my saltist 30 done if it gives you extra distance on a cast

[Rod]

Not necessarily more distance but gives you more control of spool speed in different conditions.

With a mag conversion you can adjust the speed of the reel there and then to suit the conditions to get the best distance from your reel. On the downside you loose the ratchet on most conversions and ive herd they can get in the way when reeling in aswell as the reel loosing value.

Personally i dont think you need them on fishing reels, you can easyly control your reel with your thumb if fishing into a strong head wind or side wind, if you want to add to your casting distance improve your casting not your gear.
