Brass is a PITA do drill as it's so soft. Back the cutting edges of your drill bit off, so it's not as sharp and it wont bite in, and will drill through much easier
I’ve got an Abu 6501 c3,level wind took off and been upgraded on a few things,going to put a mag in it, take it his is same way as this video only few parts different as side plate domed
Hi. I’m wanting to purchase my 1st multiplier reel. Never used 1. I want to fish smooth - medium ground and get as much distance as possible. Happy to spend on quality. What would you advise? Love your videos mate. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
You cant go wrong with a 7ht either the old black one or the blue mag (bit more pricey). A standard abu 6500 will cope with the smooth stuff fine but a bit weak for mixed ground. If its your 1st multi have a look at the old black daiwa 7ht or if you want something newer and modern akios have a great range too something like the akios dynamo 656 retail around 79 new which aint bad. That reel uses brake blocks rather than mags. The magged reels are a bit dearer. If you want something a good bit tougher than all of those i recently bought a penn 525 mag 3. Slightly bigger spool much more sturdy, strong drag biggrr handle, but then dont cast quite as far but still castable and not bad priced either. Also the penn fathoms seem popular too. The smaller abu akios 6500 and 656 will give the ultimate in distance but not for cranking through kelp etc!! They will cope but need to pump rod and reel.
djrmonix thanks pal. I’ve looked at the Akios and like the 565 shuttle STR Kuro. Also the Penn 525 mag3 and Diawa 7HT all on my list. A few lads I know recommend the Nitron. I will be a toss up of 1 of these I think. Thanks again. 👍🏻
Monomag is just 1 single magnet attached to sideplate. Centre mags are usually mutliple smaller mags maybe 3 or 4 or more arranged on a disc that can slide in and out towards spool on a threaded speed bullet inline with the spindle ie in the centre. The centre mag control knob goee where the left hand end cap usually is.
Dont think any one is better i just prefer monomag. Easier to install etc but i have heard people who have centre mags say they are more gradual when winding off mags whereas monomags can be very on off, when u wind off suddenly there is nothingn
Awesome Steve, you make it look simple bud, just might have a go myself if I can pick up an old reel cheap enough to play with.

PS heres my vid casting the penn 525. Adjustable mag control very safe to cast for 1st time user of multi. th-cam.com/video/Cz6omzr69Bw/w-d-xo.html

Hi Mr Steve, are all the zziplex rod on the spigot hole doesn't had any end plug?
I just put end plugs on the end to protect the rod when not in use.
@@djrmonix the inner spigot is holo?
It is hollow yes. They are all reinforced with extra carbon wraps.
@@djrmonix OK thanks Mr Steve
Helo Stevie, i have a question for you; whats size is the neodim magnet?
Usually 6mm x 3mm i think
Thanks 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼, sems like more big in the video , like 6x6 😅
Most off camera?
hi sir, can explain the difference between monomag and centre mag?
Monomag is just 1 single magnet attached to sideplate. Centre mags are usually mutliple smaller mags maybe 3 or 4 or more arranged on a disc that can slide in and out towards spool on a threaded speed bullet inline with the spindle ie in the centre. The centre mag control knob goee where the left hand end cap usually is.
@@djrmonix which is better? monomag or centre mag?
Dont think any one is better i just prefer monomag. Easier to install etc but i have heard people who have centre mags say they are more gradual when winding off mags whereas monomags can be very on off, when u wind off suddenly there is nothingn
@@djrmonix thk u sir for the explanation... I love to see your casting videos 🥰🥰🥰
