It can be done. No an easy task and you can destroy the side cover very easy. I have a Daiwa Hyper Speed LD 30 thats magged. I really don't care for it but it's done. That's a really nice reel and once done it can't be undone without replacing the entire left side cover.

Any reason you don't like the reel I was planning on sending it to someone else to mag it they are only 200$ at greentop. I just won't be able to cast it with no type of braking

Mike what are your likes and dislikes about the hyperspeed? I have one I was intending to MAG but I've been waiting to see what others thought.

I had Ryan white mag a single speed LD one years back and to be honest I still can't control it very well. It just sits in a bag now. It tried it for a heaver thinking it would work ok but it didn't for me. I'm guessing it's why you don't see many on the beach.

Is there anything else that could be done to control it if not it will still look cool I'd just like too use it too

 

[AbuMike]

the mag will work if done right. it needs to be a big magnet though. Ryan at HJ did mine also. it's just a FAST reel.

Yes it is. I traded an Abu 7000BY for mine from a kid that had it slam packed with what looked and smelled like axel grease. I cleaned it out regressed the gears and soaked the spool bearings in lighter fluid then added one drop of quantum hot sauce.. I almost feel like I need to use a thicker oil to make it usable.
