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
Brakes : Magenetic (8)
End Tension : Not applicable, set to barely discernable end float
Fishing Tune : Red Rocket Fuel, all the mags in place and set on full to start with
Pro's : Runs as sweet as a nut when set up properly
Con's : Fragile, just look at the state of mine!
