You place small magnets inside your sideplate. When you cast it will cause a magnetic field to build and slow down your spool so not to cause a backlash. A lot of long distance caster are using this method to get really long cast. We put a adjustable plate in the reel and adjust as we are casting..

What type of reel are you using and do you use it at the beach.

You won't need to mag a 6/0....Just use the tension knob..

6/0's can be magged. Using the tension knob on the side is a constant brake that limits a cast to a very short distance. But, a 6/0 with magnets is not going to make it or you a great caster. Learn to back cast a 6/0 with the thumb as a brake, then put some magnets in, and practice, practice, practice.

Magging a 6/0

Did I mention practice?
