Using Rocketfuel
Abu 6500 Mag Elite
With its conventional centrifugal brakes coupled to rare earth magnets the Mag Elite offers practically idiot proof casting with dial in performance courtesy of the sliding control numbered 0 to 9,
Out of the box these reels have Yellow Rocket Fuel in the bearings and the two brake blocks are in a bag with the spanner and spare oil. Use a single brake block for fishing with Yellow RF or to slow things down a little more use the thicker Red RF.
Start with the magnets on maximum - that’s number 9 - and gradually work towards to 2 or 3 one click at a time until you feel you are getting maximum distance with maximum safety for your style. Be aware, from 9 down to 4 on the mag scale there is not a lot of difference, below 4 however, the mags come off much quicker per notch
