Accurate Helps Old School to Striper Win

David, Ben,
  
  Thought you might enjoy this;
 
  We fished an open tournament this past weekend. The lake has mostly small fish, but the minimum size limit is 26". I brought my youngest Son (8 years old). We won first place in the Big Fish event, and took second in the overall. 80% of the field zeroed. These are pics of my Son bringing his fish up to the weigh-in with ALOT of embarrassed old-time locals that pitched a zero watching on. We only used giant 1 pound live Shad, and he caught this one on the 870-2 speed. With 30lb mono, he had to go "full throw" to stop this fish in the shallow brush-filled water. Although he is only 8, he is very smart, and knows more than everyone at the weigh-in about lever drag reels. He was on that rod, hit low gear, and went full throw before I could even open my mouth. NO BS!
I spend alot of time training both of my boys to take over the fishing world some day.
 
 
This was a full open event, not a youth event.
 
Thanks for everything.

A fish to Remember in the Maldives Islands

During my recent guiding trip in the Maldives we caught all kinds of Gamefish from GT`s, Dogtooth & Yellowfin Tuna, Snapper, Grouper and a lot of Sailfish (60-130lb).

But on the 10th of March, in the late afternoon the ultimate fight was ready to transpire.

A huge 530lb Black Marlin took my small Island Bullethead Lure with a Williamson Ballyhoo rigged on 130lb Fluorocarbon Leader (My Favorite Sailfish Lure!).

My Accurate ATD30 limited Edition on my Custom Calstar Rod was the best tackle I could have ask for. More than 4 1/2 hours I battled this Giant on 30lb Momoi Line, before it finally gave up.
After enormous runs, followed with series of jumps and deep dives the Big Black came in wire length. After the 4th shot to wire, this Monster was leadered, and carefully brought aboard. After the Pics were taken, we released the fiesty Black who was still kicking with plenty of life.

Thank you ACCURATE - you Guys gave me more a man could ask for - WORLD CLASS REELS FOR WORLD CLASS FISHING

301# Yellowfin - Royal Polaris/Accurate Trip

The Accurate Team returned to San Diego on February 26, 2009. Jack Nilsen and 23 fellow anglers fished aboard the Royal Polaris on an 18 day trip that departed from San Diego on February 8, 2009.

Captain Fank LoPreste skippered the trip. We were fortunate to have three Accurate Pro-Staff members along for support. Gary Lecroix, Brandon Kreutel, and Peter Heimbach are all Pro-Staff anglers and a great resource for Accurate.

Accurate brought 50 reel and rod combinations for the free use of all anglers throughout the trip. Many Accurate reels were won in “Daily Derby” fishing contests. The music rocked, the fish bit, and the GOOD TIMES ROLLED.

Mark Franketberker won his choice of an Accurate reel for his 301 pound yellowfin which was landed on his Accurate ATD 50W. Congratulations to Mark for a great fish and your new Accurate Reel to add your already extensive arsenal of Accurate Reels. Mark is already an all Accurate Angler and reel pleasure to have as part of our Accurate family.

We started our fishing at the Hurricane bank, targeting yellowfin tuna and wahoo. The fishing at the bank was very good and kept us busy for several days. Our next stop was outside of Clarion Island in an area around the island referred to as the “buffer zone”. This was “run and gun” fishing under bird schools and porpoise. We had excellent success in the “buffer zone” and then decided to depart for the Lucitania Bank outside Bahia Magdelana.

The area outside Bahia Magdelana also produced excellent fishing on yellowfin, wahoo, and giant squid. This was anchor fishing, drift fishing, and Kite fishing. All methods provided excellent results. The Royal Polaris uses Accurate ATD 50W and ATD 80 reels as the boats kite gear. These Accurate reels haveproved to be very reliable and effective as the standard Royal Polaris kite reels.

Accurate and the Royal Polaris will offer the same trip for February 2010. Visit the Royal Polaris and Accurate websites for dates and details. Call Scotty or Andrea at the Royal Polaris office to book your spot. 619 226-8030. royalpolaris.com

New BX2 Reels Released

“Accurate’s New BX2 line of two speeds offers anglers Small Reels for Big Fish”

The new “BX2” Boss Extreme 2 speeds is a dream come true for fishermen who don’t want to spend the time fighting their tackle versus the fish. Since the introduction of Spectra line, reel manufacturers are continuously looking for ways to put the power and torque available in larger reels in to a smaller frame. Accurate has made its first real stride with the B2-30 and B2-50 which were well accepted this season by many of the long range crew for the sardine bite and were credited with numerous cows (fish over 200 pounds).

In the beginning of 2008 David and Douglas Nilsen designed the first of the BX2 reels for our many fishing trips during the year. These reels landed fish in New Zealand, Australia, Panama, Mexico, and other fishing grounds throughout the world. The BX2 has held up to the rigors of stand up fishing to a variety of species without problem. Our dream of a small reel for big fish has finally gotten one step closer to reality. These reels offer features that reels twice their size have to effectively stop fired up game fish in their tracks.

The “BX2” Boss Extreme 2 speeds are being introduced in 400 (40lb), 500 (50lb), and 600 (60lb) sizes to fit the needs of serious anglers.

Bx2 feature:

• Calibrated Lever Drag for Accurate Drag Setting
• New Two speed Mechanism for Instant, Solid engagement
• New power handle for increased Comfort and Torque
• 17-4 Heat Treated Stainless Steel gears and gear shaft
• Larger, Stronger Gear Shaft for increased Torque
• Larger Anti Reverse Bearing for Solid Stopping Power

The realization for anglers that there are smaller reels hitting the market that will handle the abuse of big game fishing has been long overdue. With the Patented TwinDrag feature and the new added features to the BX2 reels, we have gotten as close to a “Dream come true” as you can get. Our goal is to sell people product that creates good feelings and memories that last forever. If we can offer a small comfortable reel that gives people the confidence and power to land their targeted game fish we have done the job we set out to do. We are in this for the long haul and will continue to innovate new products as we see the needs of today’s fishermen continuously change with the introduction of new techniques for a variety game fish species. At Accurate we want to build the products that exceed the standards set by existing tackle and shoot for the next level not yet achieved. With this type of commitment towards the future, we hope to be creating products for years to come that will land the next fisherman’s fish of a lifetime.
