U.S. Casting Champion, Tommy Farmer, Reel Tuning Service.
Tommy Farmer Unites States Casting Champion, is offering a reel tuning service to those
tournament or fisherman who want to get there reel tuned correctly for max casting distance.
What Tommy does is tune the reel with the desired line size, .31 mm or .28mm, and
matches ceramic bearings to achieve max spool spin time for the best balance.
The customer needs to understand that tuning for a 5 min+ spin time only means
one thing, that the spool/line is properly balanced and adjusted. The reel cannot
be cast in that configuration. So Tommy will not send it out to the customer spinning
for 5 mins unless the customer wants to lube the bearings himself, and that kind of defeats
the purpose of paying Tommy to tune it for you. The customer also needs to understand
that each time he/she casts the reel and lays the line back on they can
negatively affect the balance of the spool. So you need to pay attention to laying the line
evenly on the spool during the retrieve. $65.00

TOURNAMENT
Benfield Magnetic control side plate
for ABU Garcia Ambassador
$165.00

Will fit most ABU reels with 5500 or 6500 size side plates. This is probably the best magnetic
spool control unit made. Used by Top Tournament casters both here in the US and in Europe.

$165.00


Primarily FISHING
but great for Tournaments, also.
Benfield Magnetic control side plate
for ABU Garcia Ambassador
$165.00

Newly designed Mike Benfield magged side plate. This is a design that
I asked Mike to do for me. I wanted a side plate for the fisherman that
has increased strength and is held in place with three screws just like
the original ABU side plate. This magged side plate will fit all 5000
and 6000 CT models. Will not work with a level wind reel. It also
has no line out alarm but because it is interchangeable with the original
side plate the operator can change back and forth when a line out
alarm is desired. This is a prototype but I have ten coming in soon.

$165.00




Penn 525 magnetic side-plate upgrade.
For the customer who wants to upgrade their slidy style penn 525 mags. This mag
side plate has the lineout alarm and an eight magnet ratchet style mag spool control unit.

$100.00



Penn 525 Mag T magnetic spool control side-plate.
$90.00

This was a very popular reel a couple years ago. It will replace
the mag side plate on your slidy type penn 525 mags. Makes
it much easier to set mag levels and to adjust mag as necessary.

$90.00


ABU pre magged side plates.
$100.00
I am now offering a pre fitted, center style, multi mag unit.
I can get most side plates with exception of a couple of international type ABU reels.
This makes for a much nicer unit because I can pre fit each and every center mag unit
to ensure proper operation when attached to your reel. It will only work on
CT style abu reels. I can also do a knobby style single mag unit if desired.
Contact me via email or phone to order the side plate and mag of your choice.

$100.00



New custom compact knobby style magnetic control unit
for Avet fishing reels.

$90.00


This magnetic control unit provides the operator the
capability to adjust magnetic casting control on their
AVET, which allows for adjustment of magnetic control
unit in all weather conditions, something that can't be done
with glued in magnets. The magnetic field can be decreased
during the cast to increase casting distance. Price, for the
magnetic control unit only, is 90.00 USD if mounted by
myself. If you want to do it yourself the cost is 70.00 USD.
Recommended that I do conversion. For you who want an
AVET, I can order the reel of your choice and put in magnetic
control unit before shipping to you, email me for quote.
