Accurate reel demo

I will be coming down to Vancouver in April ?for another sturgeon trip and will be bringing 5 or so Accurate reels....so anyone wanting to see and try? one of these amazing reels is invited to stop by and do so .

These reels are not currently stocked locally so this is YOUR chance to get your hands on a awesome sturgeon halibut bar fishing for monster chinook..I do NOT sell them I am fortunate enough to demo them..
I do not have permission to speak on behalf of the 2 gentlemen that took me fishing for monster sturgeon on their oppinion on these reels...




any questions..PM or ...ssrupp@telus.net

Cheers

I have personally seen these reels in action, mind you it was only a 25lb or so Chinook , and I actually had the pleasure of using one on the river and let me tell you all I can say is BEAUTIFUL smooth sleek and very solid. Made my Abu feel like a P.O.S.
Come and check these reels out you won't be disappointed!!
I want to know how I can demo a beautiful product like this for years and years

Hey Steven , We have two guys come to lodge every year from Sacramento that bring 4 Accurate reels with them . While we really promote knuckle busters for fishing salmon , I did try the Accurates and they are very nice. One of them brought up a 130# hali on the bigger spool with a very small rod . Fairly impressive.

Ed these reels are amazing..or as Susan said "its almost unfair to the fish "

I am STILL waiting to catch a decent hali on one of these reels..I know they will kick ass on a 6 1/2 foot sturgeon that is over 250 pounds...

Spitzer they are $$$$$ HOWEVER you DO get what you pay for....they range from approx.$350 USD for the Boss Magnum line (ALL WE REALLY NEED UP HERE ) to the BIG twin reels I "think " the 80 wide was like $1900 USD , but that is for mega sharks etc.

For halibut and sturgeon and salmon - bar fishing style where you cant chase em..I recomend the Boss magnum 665 H...there IS a new 665 WIDE that holds 500 yards of 80/100 pound power pro braided line..

Its the SOLID 6061 aircraft quality machined from a solid/single piece of stock with tolerences of .002 by CNC machines it has TWIN TITANIUM disc brakes sandwiched between heat treated stainless steel discs..TWIN one set on EACH side... It has lever drag adjustment..the braking action is monsterous and BUUUUUUttttttttttttttterrrrrrrrrr SMOOOOOOOOOOTH...

the bearings are the best $$$$$$ can buy ...the SAME ones placed in space where they cant just go out and replace them.

This reel was built BACKWARDS..they used THE best materials..then the best METHODS and best EQUIPMENT process...and ended up with OVERKILL and then let product determain price...

HOWEVER when you FINALLY have walter that elusive 10 foot sturgeon that you have spent the past decade chasing and all the bling spent chasing and FINALLY hooking him do you want pressed TIN reels with flimsy spot rivets and small ineffective brakes that heat up and create herky jerky uneven pressure that allows the behemoth to throw the hook or brake the line??? Not me...and ACCURATE wont leave you in that situation..IN MY OPINION and many thousands in use PROFESSIONALLY in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska and California coast as well as Miami...on charter boats they must be doing a lot of sumpthuns right..

Check out Cabelas?? or google ACCURATE reels or go to their website..several guys here have seen the reels in action heard no complaints.....

anything further PLEASE give me a PM..

Spitzer I will be down in the spring and you are more than welcome to use and try one...hopefully with a HUGE sturgon attatched to the other end..

QUALITY and performance will still be there LONG after you forget about the cost.TRUE these are NOT for everyone..however those looking for a quality reel to do all they ask of it day in and day out for their entire fishing careers and be able to land the big ones....I guess thats worth it to some...???
