I want a new toy. I'm just investigating other options. But, the Tiagra's have to good for me over the years. I'm not going to switch midstream. They are the workhorse of offshore fishing. Day in and day out, they just keep working without any maintenance besides wiping down with corrosion X. If fact, I've never had a single problem with a Tiagra. I'm having a new rod built and thought I needed another reel. Looking at my records, I think I have 2 -50WLRSA's still new in the box somewhere. I just have to find them.
I still think the accurate's are the best, but they need more attention. I've got a friend that has about a dozen accurate twin drags, and like he says,
"If you can afford them new, you can afford to send them in for service every year."
