Are you after the magnets themselves or the carrier to hold the magnets



Isn't the silver thing under the handle the spoil tension cap

[09gmarsh2009]

it looks like a bearing ? my 525 mag has one but my 525 mag xtra hasnt? do you think it needs one to slow it a tad......sorry if im confusing any one!!!!

[09gmarsh2009]

just had a look at a schematics diagram and it looks like a bearing......

[adam123]

You'll have to put a pictur up I'm lost lol. I know that if you unscrew the end cap you can see a bearing were the end of the spindle passes through.

[09gmarsh2009]

There is no bearing there? Do I need it in

[09gmarsh2009]

. Hope this works as I'm doing it on me phone!!

[adam123]

Just to clarify is this what your talking about.

[09gmarsh2009]

Yes mate

[adam123]

I'm not 100% sure but pretty sure there should be a bearing there. Is the spool still wobbling a lot when end cap fully tightened.


Probably best taking it to a tackle shop because I am no reel expert.

[09gmarsh2009]

Ill take it to be looked at!! Thank you very much for your help mate!! Much appreciated

you can get then on ebay about £10 there are 2 off then one at each end off the spool .i would off said it will run slower as the spool moves about more when casting
