I think that for the price of those reels they should come with the solid arm and power knob, have you had any issues with the ARB's, the frame on the crank side plate seems very thin and see how the screws have maybe a few turns of threads into the frame

Hey Tony no issues. The extreme handle works great but for guys with bigger hands the SPJ handle is more comfortable.

I just ordered the BV2-800, and I'm interested in getting the larger/solid, slow pitch handle, where did you order it from, any info/part#? I combining the reel with the Black Hole Cape Cod Special Acid Wrapped/Spiral Guide 350g Jigging Rod

Thinking of swapping out my avet exw 2 speed for the 1000 valiant any advice would be really appreciated
@AlwaysHookedUp3 жыл бұрын
I don’t have any experience with Avet but the Accurates are super light and strong. Easy to hold all day and put the work to fish. Highly recommend.

Hi nice video…just asking your opinion…if you wanna just keep 1 reel, which one you choose? thanks

I worry that the 1000 high speed should have been a more like 4 to 1...what is your take on the 5 to 1 ..thank you in advance
@AlwaysHookedUp3 жыл бұрын
I haven’t noticed it being too high of a gear. I also have a Makaira 30 which is a 3.8.1 for the high gear and it’s not an extremely noticeable difference. When the fish is up and down drop it in low gear and you will be fine 🤙

where do you get a solid handle from? the ones I see on the accurate website is cut out like the stock one. Do you know the length of the upgraded solid 1000 arm you used?
@AlwaysHookedUp8 ай бұрын
call accurate and ask them about it. It was a prototype for the slow pitch jigging handle

What size bluefin can you realistically land with the 800 without getting spooled? I have a bunch of smaller valiants for striper and now want to build a stand up tuna rod.
