Can anyone point me in the right direction to have Penn Trq 25 mag conversion done.

I have a TRQ 15 and was already done when I got the reel. The mag conversion was done by Chris Macey and I have seen him on Facebook if you are in there then you will be able to contact him mate.

Hi Sean, Yeah thats the guy Im looking for, just cudnt think of his name - cheers..

Chris does an excellent job, but can be expensive as you have to full reel away.
Rutherford's in Sunderland also do the conversions and they are cheaper, work just as well.
There is also Blakdog tackle, but never used them.

Dont suppose anyone has Chris Maceys contact number, if you could PM it - cheers

I've used Blakdog for my Fathom and Saltist. Brilliant job.

 

[BillQuay]

Try internet, input Chris Macey reel conversions.

Tried to get in touch with Chris Macey but no reply yet, what's Blakdogtackle like at conversions.
Curious as to what size dia magnet would be used on the trq 25

 

[BillQuay]

Depending on how busy he is Chris can be a bugger to get hold of sometimes, but he will eventually contact you.

Try Rutherford's angling in Sunderland, normally takes about 1 week.

Yeah can give Andy a ring tomorrow, cheers

I got a c/macey conv on my fathom about 2yrs ago,heard a whisper that he no longer does it,only thru a tackle dealer,but not 100% sure,russ at blackdog tackle is spot on tho,he sure know's a thing or two about reel's n magging

 

[volante]

Yeah spoke to Russ Smith not too long ago, seems quite a knowledgable guy.
He has an engineer who does all his machining etc etc, think I,ll just go with Blakdog !!!
Thanks all.......

Need at least a 12mm mag to slow that baby down.

Penn Trq 25

Oooooooff that's a bit OTT

 

[Philthebag]

All trqs work well with 6mm magnets, just cast it with mags on full and release in flight or set the mag unit up to casting ability/ conditions, all my trqs have a 6mm mag unit in and not one runs for more than 6 seconds with the mags on full,

 

[volante]

Yeah the Trq 12 I have has a 6mm mag installed, casts great and never had any problems

 

[Deans]

6mm on a 25 is poor spin time m8. Maybe on a tourque 12 or 15 yeh. Got two 25 broad spools myself

Eh?? Lol how can a smaller magnet make a reel run slower lol

 

[volante]
