Yup... been discussed several times in the past though I'm uncertain if anyone has actually followed through with the upgrade.

Somebody around here did, if I'm not mistaken, was it UT_VOLS? illini? GamblerHydra or who was the guy who left to work in China, sold off all his tackle? I think somebody took the plunge. Somebody high profile.

You just turn the magnet thingy.
This would turn a Conquest 50 into a NICE small plug reel.
I thought about getting this, but I got a 50S instead (with this)

One more question: Are the spool and the brakes sold together or separately?

First of all, they don't make it anymore so you're kind of out of luck.
They used to sell the parts separately.

I guess it's the Pixy for me then. Maybe next year but I'm very, very tempted right now. Was surprised when I did a currency conversion. The Canadian is now actually higher than the US: 319.00 USD = 316.845 CAD :shock:

Yeah, I know. Those were some really sweet gear he gave up before he left for China.
