Curado BFS - Remove N Magnets?

Post by PhilHTX » Sat Sep 02, 2023 8:03 am

Anyone using this reel with the "N" magnets removed? Spool isn't freewheeling at the 1 (lowest) setting even with a tiny bit of spool play. Reel will be on a Dobyns 6'9" Sierra L/F and with 7lb FC for the first time out.

Follow-up: Removing them wasn't a good idea. It bird nested at the 4 setting with both N magnets removed. Seems the bearings were over-lubed which took several casts to work through.
