New Accurate Spinning Reels

[bud8fan]

I would be leary of this reel until they make it for under $200!!

Thats that! Obviously there is a market for them or they wouldnt even think of producing them.
So I guess there are alot more Dr.'s, Lawyers, and Rich people that fish than we all thought?
Either that or there are alot of insane fisherman!
I for one became a rod builder because I couldnt afford what the builders charge. I own a VS but only because I ran into one at a decent price from a super nice guy on this board that told me to take the reel and pay him when I can!


Funny thing about the price of custom plugs! I bet the plastic Bomber has caught just as many bass as your $30 customs and they can be had for under $4 each at times.

To each his own I guess!!!!

Guys, and Gals,

Please get the following...these reels were developed for other types of fishing like sailfishing, light tackle tuna, etc. They were NOT made with the thought of Striped Bass fishers in mind. Yes, they will become high end surf reels but this was not their intent when they were under development nor will it be the focus of their marketing plans.

Recently I was reading a thread about Saltigas and it was written in a style as if it was a buyers guide. Folks were repsonding in a technical manner and some said they had two. I looked at the price and was thinking, man is that what it's gonna take if a trophy ever tightens my line. I was glad to see in this thread an uproaor about pricing.

I just can't bring myself to shell out the coin even though the VS's are the coolest looking reel on the planet. I'm very happy with my Penn 706's and 4's, back slap and all. Since I'm a plug ho for customs, I like to save my discretionary cash for local spinners (nothing like that first wiff of paint when you open the package - better than wine!) Chris

That says it in a nutshell.

That certainly is not a surf rod the Accurate rep is holding!

I just got my costly shimano reels back from the factory today for their annual service.

All of them were cleaned, serviced and repaired and shipped back to me...no charge. Most had a few minor parts replaced an one had a more serious gear replaced (but they seemd to work fine as far as I was concerned)....One reel, the one I use nearly every day from the surf was "REPLACED FROM SERVICE STOCK" with a NEW reel at no charge! This was a 3 year old stella 6000....(they did put my old spool on though...which had line on it) I have sent it in for service each season and they took care of it. There was a note that said please service this reel more often. (included were several free service coupons as well.)

I expect some charge from the other lower end shimanos but these guys take such good care you with the high end stuff it is worth it IMO.
