Penn 525 Mag (magnets)

Alreet lads. Just had my 525 apart to rinse it out and on opening it up I've found 3 of the magnets have fallen out of their sockets and stuck together. I've read someone's older post about just glueing them back in put do they not have to go back in a correct order and is it advisable to just 'glue' them back into place?

Cheers

Try putting them back upside down so they don't stick together. If you still have problems i will help you as long as you don't live to far from Sunderland.:red:
 
Am pretty sure the ones that have fell out are fine so I don't think I need new ones, just really need to know if they have to go in in a certain order (facing: north, south, north, south)

Thanks
 
magnetic force expells from the north and atracts from the south side of a magnet so would have thought the south side should be facing the spool for the magnets to work
 
Claggy things.

I'm no scientist,far from it,but as far as i'm aware both sides of a magnet will have a magnetic pull towards a spool,as a spool itself has no magnetic force.It's would only become critical if the spool itself was made from magnetic
material.I have read articles where some tournament minded individuals have
experimented with magnetic polarity,turning one magnet one way and another another way(and in differing sequences!)but in general for fishing,when you are
not pushing things to extremes,i do'nt think it makes a blind bit of difference.:):confused::):confused::)
 
hi as far as im aware the mags go in -+-+ or +-+- i was told it doesnt matter which way you start as long as you alternate something to do with the push and pull of the mags themselves which slows the spool when slide themcloser or further from the spool and must be right as the spool isnt magnetic as its alloy

thats spot on they go back in pull/push/ or push/pull. there is sites on the net that tell you what way they go hope this helps

with the spool being non magnetic it must be the magnetic field around the magnets which helps slow the spool down but no idea how.but endurothumpers post is correct as just checked my penn torque
 
This topic has been discussed in bits & pieces for over a year, and I want to try to consolidate what I can into just one post, to share with everyone how easy this conversion is, and why it works. A spinning spool, with a conducting metal in close proximity to fixed magnets, will create a disturbance in the magnetic field(s) of the fixed magnets, and this disturbance is called an "Eddy Current". It won't work with graphite or plastic spools - only spools that can conduct electricity. If you have a plastic or graphite spool in your reel, you can add a disc of aluminum or copper on the end nearest the magnet(s) and it will work. This is in fact, what Bob Ransom did, when he invented the first "Eddy Curent Reel" illustrated below. This was about 60 years ago, before WWII. The Ocean City Reel company built his reel, and they called it the "Inductor". The reel below, is the Inductor 250, ModA. It's about the same size as a 145 Squidder, or slightly narrower (2-1/8" spool width) than the full size Penn 140.

Just something I googled before
 
It all depends whether you in the northern or southern hemisphere and if your
facing east or west.
I've also notice if the barometer high it can pop the magnets.


hope this helps.....

Eddie Current? Did'nt he sing "Living on the front line" a few years back?:confused:
