Default Tiny Rare earth Magnets

This Penn I am talking about now, I put in ,on a glued in flat nut, a 1/8" x1/8" "rare earth Mag" . The only way to adjust it is to tear down and probably grind a little off of the mag. This is an old reel, probably not the best choice, but I am liking the challenge and learning experience being gained.

I spooled this reel with 16# Dacron - not the super braid. I have a big spool of this stuff, from whatever I have no idea. But, I like the way it casts so far vs the 20# Suffix mono I had on that would freaking nest for no apparent reason. Now I am actually casting instead of fighting with the line after every cast. And my mag has not changed yet , braid vs. mono.

So, tonight before Basketball, I stripped the 30SHA Diawa and put 20# Power Pro Superbraid on. I was getting a steady 90 -95 yards with the mono(?) , but that stuff apparently was not liking my casting practice anymore and started being a major problem. So, now I need to get out and throw this new line. The mags on this reel are also non-adjustable with out tear down. So , where do I go to get magging options for this newer reel? ( I only started this conventional gig in September ). P.S. - Thanks for the input so far from everyone.
