The Penn 525Mag changed the face of the multiplier reel
on the beach when it was launched. There was something
about it that caught the anglers attention, and held it.
A powerful 6 to 1 retrieve, huge main and pinion gears, drags
that really worked and the grunt to wind in smoothly, even with a fish kicking
and screaming on the other end. Both pinion gear and spindle are supported by bearings
so when the pressure is on the drive train remains in perfect alignment. Plus of course the
extra capacity. All in all just about what everybody was waiting for.
There was pretty much an even split on those who thought it a little fast and the other camp
who said it was just right. But to show we listened we brought out the SuperMag with two
extra magnets to give the ‘too fast’ vote increased braking.
Well, now we have two new reels. The first is not strictly speaking new, more an old favourite,
but again, we have been listening to you the angler and we think we have covered a lot of
bases here. The original four magnet 525 has been re-launched, but with more than a little
extra. Included in the box are two extra magnets with easy to follow installation instructions
telling you exactly where and how to position them on the mag carrier. So, should you feel
need for some additional spool braking it is there waiting for you. In addition, we have also
included a pair of ABEC 5 spool bearings. Some will call it a DIY SuperMag, we call it the
525Mag Xtra and now the choice is yours.
The 525 SuperMag Xtra on the other hand is a little more radical. This has a completely
new mag set up with even more variable braking, based on experience gained by us in the
US facility experimenting with numerous magnet configurations while working with Penn’s
specialist engineers.
The mag control system is completely replaced by a brand new, purpose designed and built in
the UK endplate that retains the clicker. The new side plate sports a low ratchet wheel to operate
a non rising stem attached to a new magnet carrier offering an increased range of travel.
To make sure things stay smooth running, we have replaced the standard spool bearings
with ABEC 5 Ceramic hybrid bearings with metal races (many ceramics hybrids use a nylon
race which dissolves after prolonged soaking in petrol). So as you can see, not only are we
listening, we are reacting positively!
All reels feature superb drags utilising Penn’s powerful HT-100TM multi disc drag system for
total control over anything pulling the other way. Penn’s awesome Verso-drag system allows
you to adjust the drags washers to provide a feather light touch right up to a full on drag to
tame whatever roams the oceans.
The system is protected for continuous optimum performance by a special collar to seal
out any contaminates. A roller bearing provides one way anti-reverse that completely
eliminates handle kick back. All this power is under the control of a two position power
handle with ergonomic soft grip to take full advantage of the high speed gearing.
Other features include corrosion resistant frames Spool tension adjustment control
– Stainless steel side plate rings for added strength – One piece stainless steel reel foot
– graphite composite manual free spool lever.
