thats a picture of a slidy side plate which is completely different from the knobby side plate .the knobby has the magnet winder [knob]on the outside of the side plate to wind the magnet on or off, gives more control as the lead travels in the air.goggle penn 525 super mag extra you will see what i mean mine is the older version of that knobby??
