The Facts: The Penn 525 MAG was designed for world record long distance casting. The magnetic control lets you adjust the casting speed of the spool, and the spool is totally free from the spindle when casting. 5 aircraft quality ball bearings and a one way infinite anti reverse bearing are sealed against water, dust, etc. The reel also has an one-piece graphite frame and a gold anodized spool.

This is one serious casting machine, Aug 22, 2005

The 525 mag is a great solid reel, this casts great! Use the mag and spool tension controls and you will never have to feather the spool with your thumb. I use this reel at the beach on a 11' 6" rod casting typically 4-6ozs. + a chunk of mackeral and clam with no problem. Typical distances are well over 100 yards.

I now have the 525Mag, 535 and 555 graphite reels. The Mag takes some getting used to. It is strong as an ox. I have used it to tame albacore on 15lb mono. The main problem is I reset to fast for retrieval then sometimes forgetting to go back to slow, I toss my swimbait with a mighty heave, only to throw up a monster backlash. I have always been able to clear it though. I can chuck it out there, land smack on the water, turn over my reel and... perfect. The other guys on the boat respect my ability with the mag and my 8ft graphite inshore rod. My brother has a drawer full of Shimano baitcasters with burned out drags. That won't happen with the Mag.
