Fishin Accurate Reels


My son will not fish anything but Accurate Reels. We had a 9-pack fishing trip on the Ultra and had a super trip. I supplied Accurate fishing gear to my brother and his two boys (who had never fished), and the two teenagers fell in love with the Accurate Boss 270 reels. They each caught limits of Yellowfin Tuna plus several Yellowtail, Dorado and Skipjack.

Regards,

Tony's Legacy - Father/Son Fishing Charter







In early September I headed out on the Grande out of Point Loma Sportfishing in San Diego, California for the 9th annual Tony's Legacy Father/Son Fishing Charter. This is a memorial trip put on by Mark Case to teach kids how to fish. We had 10 boys ranging from 10 to 16 years old for a 2 day trip for yellowfin tuna and dorado. I took my 10 year old son Conner for his first overnight trip along with my dad, Jack. Great time was had by all, we hit several kelp paddies that were holding yellowfin tuna and some scattered dorado. At the very last hour of the trip we hit the mother load paddy for a 45 minute hot yellowfin bite that we all hope for. It was great to see how the boys handled the fast pace of fighting your fish and keeping the lines from crossing. The boys learned a lot about fishing and hanging out with their dads. Good times!

Thanks Mark for putting on a great trip for the boys.

East Cape 201 Pound Yellowfin on Boss 665W



Accurate Reels,
Check out this nice yellowfin tuna we caught in the East Cape. It weighed in at 201 pounds. That is my son in law and daughter in the pictures. Remind me never to do that again without a harness. The Boss 665W reel can stand up to the test but the anglers are a mess. We had the fish to gaff after about 5 hours but missed the opportunity. It took 3 hours more to get another shot at it. We had the drag on the Boss 655W down so tight it took both hands for us to pull the 60# mono off of it after we landed the fish. On it's 1st run it took the 80# spectra down to where I could see the arbor on the spool. The reel got really hot but the drag pressure never changed and the drags never got jerky. This never could have been done with a reel manufactured by someone else.

Dear Accurate,

I just wanted to thank you for such a great product, over here on the other side of the U.S we are starting to catch on to. This week I took a trip to Cape Cod to do a little jig fishing with a good friend Kil Song, we left dock at 6 and looked for activity we didn’t find anything for the first 5 hours so we decided to change ideas and go cod fishing. The run was 21 miles about half way we saw what we were looking for, stopped the boat and starting jigging instantly we hooked up and lost a few blue fins, I then landed a 66 inch estimated weight of about 160, then proceeded to boat another 68 incher estimated at 185lbs. That fish made nasty work of the reel and smoked the drag melted the reel where the reel didn’t work anymore. Just so you know this reel was not a Accurate. I then switch to my TwinSpin 30 and hooked up again, after fighting the first 2 I knew this fish was much larger after about a 15 minute battle we brought her boat side, what a beautiful fish she was measured at 71 inches and estimated at 215 lbs. The Accurate TwinSpin reel was a far more superior reel then the other, and now I know that it will never be taken off the rod.

Two weeks earlier I was fishing one of our Jersey Lumps and hooked up with some quality Blue fin in the 130-165 pound range, I used my brand new gold Accurate BX2-30 to handle the fish, this reel is 3 weeks old and already accounts for some big eyes between 145-185 and some big blue fin.

Again keep up the work there is no other reel out there that can take a beating then the Accurate reels, I look forward to continuing use of your products.

Sincerely,
DANTE SORIENTE





Fishing Pesca Panama


Our party fished Pesca Panama this year from May 8-13 out of David, Panama. We fished the Islands of Coiba, Montuosa, Jicaron and the Hannibal bank. We caught Wahoo to 80 lbs, Cubera Snapper to 50lbs and lots of Crevalle Jack, Blue Jack, Grouper, Tuna, Roosterfish and Red Snapper etc. We had a lot of fun fishing with the New Accurate SR-20 Spinnning Reel and a New Accurate ACCSJ25066S Spinning Rod. The rods work great for fishing poppers on the boiler rocks for Roosters and around the pods of porpoise for Yellowfin Tuna…what a rush! This pic ture was taken by MikeAmeel near Wahoo Rock! Fishing with great equipment makes the fishing more fun!


Thanks from Don Bowen, Mike Ameel and John Million

Wes's Trip of a Lifetime


Just wanted to say thank you!

Hello. My name is John Hagstrom. I am writing you to thank you for making such a great reel, as well as to share a story. My father, 64 year old Wes Hagstrom, was able to go on a trip of a lifetime. After not being able to fly because of having a brain tumor removed in 2008, he was able to fly to Old Harbor on Kodiak Island Alaska. I sent him with my Accurate Boss 665 2-Speed and told him that it was the best reel made....period. As always, the full blooded Swedish man was sceptical. When he returned, he simply said, "That reel is the best I have ever used!" He could not believe how smooth the drag was. He also raved about how fast the retrieve is. He ended up winning the Kodiak Fishing Derby with a 66.5 lb King Salmon caught on the Accurate Boss 665. I had him show the reel to the 6 captains and they loved it. Just wanted to write you a letter and thank you so much because I really didn't know if my father would ever get back there again. 

Thanks again for the great product! Conrad Peterson is the captain who put him on the fish. Big thanks to Kodiak Sportsman Lodge too. They are a first class operation. 

Sincerely, 
John Hagstrom

81lb. Warsaw Grouper


Dear Accurate,

“We were fishing off the Texas coast near an offshore platform in 600’ of water. We dropped a large 2 lb blue runner down to the bottom using the Accurate Xnergy AAB6650C rod and the Accurate B2-50 two speed reel spooled with 80 lb ACCUBRAID. Almost immediately we got a good solid thump. The circle hook set and the fight began. The low gear on this reel is truly amazing. Even the 600’ of water and the steel legs of the platform could not stop us from landing this Warsaw Grouper on the Accurate combo. We use this setup for anything from large grouper to marlin and tuna and it cannot be beat. Thanks Accurate for making a superior product”

47 Pound Albacore on BX2-500


Supreme Three-Day Ironmen

Tommy Rothery finished up a three-day trip on his Polaris Supreme and tied up at Fisherman’s Landing July 12.

“We had good fishing on albacore,” he said, “and bluefin fishing was okay, too. I think I saw the longest spread of albacore I’ve seen in five years. We had some kids who fished for tuna with iron from the bow, The Ironmen. They did great!”

Hubert Bell of Bonita won the jackpot for a 47-pound albacore, the best one to come in to the docks this season.

He said it bit on a sardine pinned to a 2/0 Super Mutu hook on 30-pound P-Line. He used an Accurate BX2 500 reel on an 800 M Calstar wrapped by Don’s Bait & Tackle.
