I just checked the new Accurate 870 2-speed.
When I tightened the drag, I coulnd't move the drag lever as it happened to prototype Avet Hoo-X. 8@
So I asked tackle shop owner to fill some line on the reel and tested again.
On about 25 drag, moving drag lever is pretty smooth, turning handle is also very smooth and it doesn't lose much free spool !!!
I guess I should have tested the Hoo-X with lines on. :x
I am afraid I gave a wrong impression on Hoo-X. I am going to test Hoo-X again with lines on when they are available.
The round knob of the new 870 is more convenient than one speed 870 or 665 handle.
But, the line capacity they advertised seems wrong. It looks the reel can hold about 250 yard of 30 lbs mono or less than 300 yard of 80 lbs braided line.
I feel the Accurate 870 and 665 2-speed are going to be a big winner.
