Accurate's new 30 & 50 Boss Style Reel

[BretABaker]

wtf do you plan on jigging with 700 yds of line?!?!?!?! lol

actually, this reel, if it stands up to the hype, could be a good reel to try and jig cow yellowfin or BIG bluefin

Fishhead,

Handle is 3 1/2" in length. 1" x 1" with rounded edges along length. Probably perfect for most people.


STx fisherman,
I got mine for $530 including shipping.

Here's some pics with it loaded up with room for a Fluorocarbon top shot. I packed 600 yds of 80# JB solid in the red color. I had a brand new 600 yard spool and emptied it out, so the amount listed is correct.There is about 3/16" to 1/4" left on spool. I'm sure a tuna could pack it better.

Mr. Bill,

Nice reel, can't wait to hear your report after using it!

But is that a picture of HyperMan on your desk?

I didn't want all the women who read this forum to call me up after viewing my handsome face, so I doctored my face a little bit.

I also have a salt and a pepper grinder made out of gold reels.

The picture looks like Hillary greeting Hyperman.... DOH!

I will not be able to go to sleep tonight and I might even go straight to hell if I do not extend my apologies for that last post.

Sorry about that Mr. Bill.....<grin>

STx Fisherman,

No problem. The old battle Axe in the picture isn't a fan of Hillary. We are both very conservative. McCain is to liberal for us, but he's better than the other choice.

Good Call STXF.... good call!

And smart move Mr. Bill, best to not tempt the girls.

MrBill: My reason for suggesting the clicker thing is not so much that I give a damn how it sounds, but that seemed to be the first symptom I had put too much stress on my first reel, then on the second, after cranking it up to about 30 pounds max, and pulling on it a lot, the reel still worked fine, but the clicker had permanent "issues"--sounding hollow and erratic. And now, on the third (665W) if I crank it up to 25 pounds max, the clicker does sound strained, but returns to normal when I back the drag down some. All of the reels Melton sent me had serial numbers below 400, so maybe I got all bad gear batches.

I realize that the reel would probably be overkill for snapper--maybe I should just use it for jigging and if it breaks, have Accurate put in new gears.

Those are some great pictures, by the way and I do like the alarm clock--too bad it isn't an Accurate.

Altho you' probably would have preferred good reels to a relationship w/Accurate, Why not just send'em back to Accurate as soon as you've got 2 wks w/o fishing trips. Then fish'em or sell'em. They got my 665's back to me pronto. No new reel probs yet.
