I've just purchased a Penn 525 Mag Xtra and have tried to install the two extra magnets. I followed the instructions exactly but when I replaced the end plate I found that the extra magnets foul the adjustment slider. I tried moving the mags to either end as in the photo end but they just snap back together in the middle and in any case they would still foul the slider.
And now, after fiddling around trying to get the damned thing to work two of the original mags have jumped out onto my workshop floor and have forever vanished into the black hole beneath the bench. As far as I can see the extra mags don't work properly and now if I want to sell the reel on it'll cost me to replace the two magnets.
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem with the extra magnets fouling the slider and can Gary or David Caulfield offer any advice?
Cheers,
John
