I'm in the market for a new beach fishing reel and I'm looking at the new 525 Supermag Xtra. I have a green Abu Mag Elite which is a lovely reel but I would like something with a faster retrieve. However, I found the original 525 Mag a little too fast. I don't want to fit my own magnets on the Mag Xtra. I cast about 120 yds over grass (OTG) at the moment. Do you think I'll be able to cast with the new Supermag Xtra straight out of the box?

I've looked at the new Abu's and I fancy the Hi Speed 6500 with the fast retrieve I just wonder if they are as sturdy as the Penns. They say the frame has been strengthened but as they are so new I suppose you'd have to take a chance.
