Success ! Well....
For the most part. I started with 2 of these 1/8" x 1/8" Rare Earth magnets from Radio Shack. It is hard to believe, but that was too much brake with these tiny magnets. Took one out after New Years Lunch at the in-laws, and went back to the field. With one in I was able to throw about 90 yards consistently, with the reel on an older noodle medium 10' spinning rod. Throwing 8 ounces. Went up to 10 ounces for the last 2 throws for the day and had similar results. I am contemplating looking for a smaller rare earth magnet, the single 1/8" was still a little too much, but I am not going to mess with it until I figure out what rod to match up with this reel.
Thanks for the advice from one and all!
