I heard on the grapvine that there just isnt room to fit a decent set of gears into the slideplate of the abu mag. If you have a look at the size of the gear box on a slosh or 525 then youll see what i mean. You can get em but they wont last long-stripped in no time.
Im not saying this from experience mind, but if you think about it then youll know what i mean. Also if there is plenty room then why wouldnt Abu fit them themselves? The retreive ratio is one of the main reasons why people buy a 525 or a slosh over a Abu.

I'm not sure about this bigman as the Abu 6500 C4 has the 6.3:1 gear ratio as standard. The hanldle side plate on the 6500 C4 is exactly the the same size as the side plate on the Mag Elite so I dont see why he couldn't just exchange whatever's inside the C4 reel as far as gears go to the Mag Elite.

Yes that's right - the 5600 C4, 6500 C4 and 6600 CL Rocket to name a few.

Soon there is to be a new ABU 6500C3CT Mag Elite Hi Speed model released with 6.3:1 retrieve rate. For more info visit this link:

I'd be inclide to sell my old one and buy one of these rather than try to convert the former if I needed the higher gearing.

Cheers,
