Mine had a small plastic bag in the box that had 2 pairs of very small bushings. I am suprised it doesn't have these bushings. I assume they still come with these reels. The bushings go on the spindle and when you initially cast, the bushings slide out against the spool and forces the reel to slow down. They work very well and enable very long casts without the need of any mags. It is an excellent long caster without the use of mag controls. They do make a mag kit for the reel that runs between $60-$70.
As far as mags, when I use to static mag them, I used the thinnest ones available of variuos sizes. Like Jim says, use a piece of thin galvanized metal, like duct work. I bought a ac damper from home depot and cut out half moon shapes. One $3 damper will do a tone of reels.
