sports mag elite ?
6500 with broken mag adjuster ring
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?????????

Re: sports mag elite ?
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...

Re: sports mag elite ?
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

to check if the spindles are the same have a look at the the part numbers and see if they match.roger de dodger wrote:if the spindle is the same for both reels i think it should fit !
