6500 with broken mag adjuster ring :twisted: can i use mag elite side plate on this instead as the mag adjuster seems more sturdy and less likely to clog with sand and salt?????????

I dont know the exact set up of the sports mag (never had one) but id imagine you can swap over a whole green mag elite left side and it should work... if not give me a shout im sure i can get something sorted for ye...

I picked up 2 off these on Friday, with both of them only been used less than a handful off times, both in brand spanking new condition and one of them has this problem. Let me know what you do to fix it Roger, as I need sort mine.

off mag elite but will fit touch up reel if required with a bit of blue?far better design than the ring as they require too much looking after and clog with salt and goo far to easily :wink:

to check if the spindles are the same have a look at the the part numbers and see if they match.
