7HT Mag vs. 6500 CT Mag High Speed

Sat Jul 25, 2009 1:03 am

I have used a 6500C, 7000 and 6500C3, but never got to use a magnetic drag multiplier yet. Come to think about it I managed quite fine with just one or two small size brake blocks in the centrifugal drag, but (with the 6500C and 7000) that was 10 years ago, and I'm re-tooling and getting back into beach fishing.

On checking out what is available in the latest stuff with magnets inside, I find myself looking at the ABU 6500CT Mag Hi Speed and the Daiwa 7HT Mag. However, the price difference between these two offerings is a big difference.

So what am I missing to account for the price difference?
Is the Daiwa 7HT mag better built than the ABU6500 CT mag hi speed, or is Daiwa's mag technology a better system?
