Anyone have experience with Avet Mag cast reels?

Thus, given the same reels, one with the mag feature, and one without, the one without is capable of casting further.

Its true - the magnetic field only imparts resistance at high speed spool revolution to prevent a line over run, and not at low speed spool revolutions.

- But one of them will never backlash (which is priceless).
So if you can cast 100 yards with a Magged reel and not backlash what more do you want ??

Less effort to go the same distance. I had to use the pendulum swing to get the velocity up to go the distance. You make a good point about distance and no backlash though.
