Mag conversion!

Mindfield I know.
Looking at the field casting, I am going to keep my 7HT just for casting.
Is it worth doing the mag conversion or just leave it alone?

lol, I know!

Thanks for that link. May get myself a mag conversion for my slosh.

so, so tempting!

not a bad price either Rich.

Yeh, it'll pay for itself on saved line from all the birdies I get and I rarely have need for the ratchet. At the moment I have to rely on tweaking the spindle tension, which isn't ideal.

Looking at getting the mag conversion and some more line for next time!

180, then 200, can't wait!

Addictive isn't it!!

You could say that Shane! lol

Really enjoyed yesterday, its a strange feeling casting on on grass but an enjoyable one. Ultimate goal obviously is to be able to get further, being a tool to reach fish that are further out.

Had a whole days sport though, & no bait to put back in the fridge!

Is it worth putting the mag conversion on the 7HT or just leave it alone and use as is?

mags can make a whole big difference, although thats not to say a well set blocked real cannot perform jst as well, i think it boils down to the fact you can set a magged reel from safe as houses to jst on the edge with the simple turn of a little knob! alot quicker and a whole lot less fuss.....

Personally, i'd mag it!!!

Cheers Shane, that's what I was hoping!

A new toy to play with........

Going to hopefully get out and get some practice before the next one!

Hi Rich,Try Chris Macey top conversions probably cost about
£30-35 christopher.macey@ntlworld.com
daiwa arent as easy to convert as you need to drill cage!

There goes the diy job then.lol
thanks Andy

Just got a mag conversion for my Abu 6500 High Speed Mag. I got the bigger mags as I want to use it for fishing, but can still use for casting, and didn't like the slidy mags. Fits in the centre hole where the end cap goes so no drilling and fitted and working in 5 mins. £22.00 and came next day delivery.

Nice one. Sounds like a nice easy conversion.

Got a MK1 ABU rocket on its way!
