With precision casting and customizable drag, the Penn Graphite GS Series Reel 525MAG is suited for a wide range of applications from long-distance casting and surf fishing to kingfishing and throwing jigs at tuna. The reel features a revolutionary design with cut-gears that puts more cranking power in the hands of anglers when battling large Drum from the surf, and high-speed retrieve when chasing down smoker Kingfish. Moreover, the 525MAG gives anglers absolute control over cast and drag to suit the needs of any situation. With a rare-earth magnet casting control mechanism, the angler can adjust the magnetic resistance exerted on the spool easily attaining greater control of the spool and free-spool capabilities. Equipped with Versa-Drag, a large-diameter stacked drag cartridge, the angler is able to customize the drag washer arrangement to achieve a specific drag curve. This stacked drag system eliminates the "binding" felt in normal lever drag reels when they are set up to achieve higher drag settings by multiplying the number of drag surfaces and decreasing the amount of force exerted across the reel by the lever. With this unique drag cartridge design, complete disengagement of the drag can occur in free spool for an incredible casting performance.
Further details that separate the 525MAG from its competitors include the lightweight one-piece, open-top graphite frame, 6 + 1 precision gearing, corrosion resistant shielded stainless steel ball bearings and precision-machined stainless steel pinion, and the high-speed gear ratio of 3:1. The 525MAG has a mono capacity of 275 yards/15 pounds, a maximum drag of 15, and a line retrieve of 28 inches per crank. Backed by a 1 year warranty from Penn and weighing in at 17 ounces, the 525MAG is worth its weight in gold.

Product Description
This is one reel that truly goes the distance. Engineered for world record casting competitions, the 525 MAG lets every angler toss the lightest live baits with ease or reach untouched waters when surf fishing. A sophisticated magnetic control - using four rare earth magnets and a sliding adjustment on the left side plate - lets you adjust the casting speed of the spool. With the 525 MAG, the spool is also totally free from the spindle when casting. Five aircraft quality stainless steel ball bearings, plus a one way roller bearing for infinite anti-reverse, provide ultra smooth precision performance whether casting or retrieving. The powerful HT100 multi-disc drag provides for unbeatable stopping power and the soft grip comfort handle really helps fighting fish.

Very user friendly reel,
By Jinz (Fresno, Ca) - See all my reviews The drags on these reels work great. You can fine tune it. This reel is a true long distance fishing reel. It's solid and durable, you can even dip it in saltwater.

penn 525 mag,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Penn Performance Casting Magnetic Reel (275-Yard, 15-Pound) (Sports)
I'm not sure I would call this a "beginners" casting reel. It still requires some skill with the thumb. I had quite a few fluff ups at first, but this proved to be the cheapo line I was using (I would recommend braid or a mono with very low memory). DON'T tighten the side play on the reel, leave it loose, some reels use this as a way to control casting and over spooling, not this reel. The only casting control you have is the mag slider on the left side of the reel and your thumb. I've landed a number of hard fighting bone fish with this reel, in the 3-5lb range, the drag works well and reel had no problems cranking them in. I bought this reel to fish in the surf primarily and to use when the tuna bite is on. The only problem I fore see is that the reel doesn't hold a lot of line, I can fling a 4oz weight about 150 yards with this reel, but that only leaves me 125 yards to fight the fish with, not really a problem with a 30 lb halibut...big problems with a 80lb shark or bat ray or if your on a boat and hook into a log of a tuna. Over all I give this reel 4 stars, it casts well (with practice beginners), the drag works well, it cranks fish in. you can target a wide range of fish species and it doesn't seem to require lots of work to maintain it. The finish could be better, the instruction manual is only one page.
