Penn 515 MAG2 Improvements 2011 model

So much work has went into the 515 MAG2. For a start, it has a new index magnetic braking system which is precise and gives full control from zero to maximum braking. This gives longer, smoother casts. The Penn 515 MAG2 also has a narrower spool and cage, and it also weighs 414gm. The benefit means that it creates a HUGE NEW LINE CAPACITY of 0.38 nylon, so it becomes a contender as a great distance casting reel with 15lbs mono. Couple that with the 6:1 retrieve and the famous Penn Versa Drag, and it will tackle those rough ground stretches with ease. Be it Dabs or Tope, the 515 MAG2 will handle the lot
