Is it worth it? Twinspin 20 or 30?

[TheSwab]

Will a 20 or 30 twinspin hold up to 20-25 lbs of drag? I am considering buying one for jigging 150-200# bluefin, But I dont wanna buy a reel thats gonna turn to dust after the first or second run...

Should I go stella (Im not a shimano fan at all) or twinspin?

I quite honestly though accurates were made in china....... not that it should be a problem but why say its made in america when its actually made somewhere else????

correct me if I am wrong!!!

Where in this whole thread does it say anything about Accurates being made in China? Not sure how you ever got that idea. If you followed the whole thread, it says they are made in California.

Its hard for me to spend the kind of money on a TS 30 when 2/3rds of the ones i have seen have broke and then to hear the storys about the service after they break. I know that if you push reels to there limits that there going to break eventually, but its the way the company takes care of you after the sell that counts the most IMO .

Thats why I use stella's

Hey bro Just to help you out, Dante said that they are made in the USA and Thats where I said I thought they were made in china, and I also said that that shouldn't be a problem>>> and Then proceeded to say that why say its made in USA when its actually made somewhere else???? I also asked kindly to correct me if I was wrong........

I havent had any issues with my accurates. I just dont have any accurate spinning reels. Like I said I have seen 2/3rds of the accurate spinners Ive seen in use have broke. I liked the looks of them, and had thoughts about getting one.

Thats good that you talk to Accurate weekly, Maybe you should remind them that there customer service after the sale is what gets them repeat customers and its lacking a little.
