Anyone have experience with Avet Mag cast reels?

Magging works...



I've not used the Magic cast ones but have magged my own Avets like the one in the vid, as well as Saltists and some others.

Here's the deal it's not going to make you a better caster but it can pretty much eliminate backlashes if you set up right. That is not such a big deal if you fish Iron with Mono but if you fish Iron on spectra like I do it's a big deal because even a small backlash with spectra can damage your line creating flaws in it that can break and loose you fish down the line.

I'd say magged reels are ideal for fishing Iron with spectra and they are all I use now.

I threw plugs and Iron on mono for the majority of my life, in some fisheries where all you do is fish plugs and poppers casting all day long. I actually just love distance casting and throwing plugs for me it's just fun. That said though I can cast a long way with mono I'll honestly tell you I can outcast mono with spectra side by side on the same gear, as spectra is limper and with it's smaller diameter it just cuts through the wind better. That goes for both conventional and spinning tackle. Just this year I took up using spectra on spinning gear for stripers and I have been having a total blast with it I can throw a spook a friggin mile.

So my take is if your going to fish spectra go for it. You won't be disappointed.
