The 525 SuperMag Xtra is a little more radical.

This has a completely new mag set up with even more variable braking, based on experience gained by us in the US facility experimenting with numerous magnet configurations while working with Penn’s specialist engineers.

The mag control system is completely replaced by a brand new, purpose designed and built in the UK endplate that retains the clicker. The new side plate sports a low ratchet wheel to operate a non rising stem attached to a new magnet carrier offering an increased range of travel. To make sure things stay smooth running, we have replaced the standard spool bearings with ABEC 5 Ceramic hybrid bearings with metal races (many ceramics hybrids use a nylon race which dissolves after prolonged soaking in petrol).

So as you can see, not only are we listening, we are reacting positively! All reels feature superb drags utilising Penn’s powerful HT-100TM multi disc drag system for total control over anything pulling the other way. Penn’s awesome Verso-drag system allows you to adjust the drags washers to provide a feather light touch right up to a full on drag to tame whatever roams the oceans.
