I would just call Avet. The guys there are really accessable and will give you a direct answer.

Slows the spool spin without friction. You have to use less thumb. ONLY WUSSIES USE IT!!!  | |

Well, you can use them to CONTROL the spool. The magnetic field between several RARE EARTH magnets creates resistance. From what I have seen, all record distance casters who use conventionals mag them. Just google "reel magging" for lots O' info.

Dont waste your money and ruin your reel by maging it. Just learn how to cast it and you will be fine. Magging an Avet ruins one of the best features of the reel. Not only will it be a waste of money but it will limit your casting abilities.
