Using Rocketfuel
ABU Ultramag XL3
Beloved by tournament casters but a little fragile for prolonged beach use. If you use one for fishing rinsing away any salt immediately after every session is essential to keep corrosion at bay.
The magnets are not as strong as the tiny rare earth jobs in the later Mag Elite so leave all 8 in place and dose up the two inboard spool bearings with Red RF. Start with the mags on maximum, work back one click at a time until it feels comfortable.
| Gear Ratio : | 4:7:1 |
