The 525 is the greater-capacity model for long-range beach and mixed-ground fishing. It holds 255 m of 0.38 mm mono versus 250 m of 0.35 mm on the 515, and 350 m versus 295 m of 0.36 mm braid. It weighs 439 g rather than 434 g, so choose it for the extra capacity without changing gearing or drag specifications.
The magnetic brake controls spool rotation during casting and has an extended external knob for finger adjustment. The star-adjusted Versa drag with HT100 washers controls resistance during the fight, with a maximum of 9.0 kg. This lets you adjust casting control separately from fighting drag.
No. Both are right-hand reels, supplied without line or a spare spool. Choose them only if a right-side handle suits you, and add your preferred mono or braid using the stated capacity before fishing.
They are designed for saltwater beach and rock fishing, with shielded stainless steel bearings and stainless steel main and pinion gears. No watertight sealing or waterproof rating is stated. They fit the stated shore-fishing use, but should not be chosen on the assumption of waterproof sealing.

The PENN MAG4 series comprises two right-hand conventional reels for beach and rock fishing on UK and European shores. An externally adjustable magnetic casting brake and the Live-Spindle system with a free-floating spool provide casting control while allowing the spool to run freely in free-spool mode.
The extended magnetic-brake knob can be adjusted with a finger, giving direct access to the casting-brake setting. Oiled spool bearings support free spool rotation. Both models have a 6.1:1 gear ratio and retrieve 73 cm per handle turn, so retrieve speed does not change with the model choice. Instant Anti-Reverse prevents backward handle rotation. The Versa drag system uses HT100 washers with a star adjustment and a maximum drag of 9.0 kg. The magnetic brake controls casting, while the star drag controls resistance when playing a fish.
A lightweight graphite frame and sideplates house a forged and machined aluminium spool. CNC gear technology is paired with stainless steel main and pinion gears. The 6+1 shielded stainless steel bearings and stainless steel gearing are relevant to saltwater use, but no watertight sealing rating is supplied. A fast-access sideplate provides access to the gears for servicing.
The 515 weighs 434 g and holds 250 m of 0.35 mm monofilament. The 525 weighs 439 g and holds 255 m of 0.38 mm monofilament. The supplier identifies the 525 as the greater-capacity option for long-range beach and mixed-ground fishing. Its higher capacity comes with a 5 g weight increase, while gearing, retrieve and maximum drag remain the same.
Metric braid capacities for the 515 are 475 m at 0.25 mm, 390 m at 0.29 mm and 295 m at 0.36 mm. For the 525 they are 465 m at 0.29 mm, 350 m at 0.36 mm and 245 m at 0.41 mm. At the shared diameters of 0.29 mm and 0.36 mm, the 525 holds more braid. Use the stated diameter and line type when comparing capacity, rather than comparing lengths alone.
Both models have the handle on the right and are black/blue. They are supplied without line and without a spare spool, so select and spool your chosen monofilament or braid before fishing.
