I'm posting the pictures here because its an Accurate design reel. The pictures you see is how it comes from Jigging Master. The reel comes with everything greased as it should be. With the 5' Jigging Master rod this combo is so easy to use. It is perfectly balance for no stress jigging.

Bula Keith,

What is an "under head" reel?

What does the complete reel look like?

Double anti reverse dogs plus the tall clutch bearing that Accurate uses. All bearings were already packed with grease. The grease must be Inox MX5. I use this grease also in many reels.

The reel is mounted under the rod just like a spinning reel. This one is left hand crank again just like a spinning reel. It looks weird but when you use it jigging its second nature to jig away. Its hard to explained but when jigging the rod up and down while cranking the reel its a fluid motion. No awkward movements or stress on the body.

Between the reel and foot they added the protruding piece so your finger doesn't slip down towards the line guide. I was truly suprised that the reel was assembled this way. Every tiny fastener was greased.

Does Accurate reels come assembled this way? I know they use the same grease in their larger reels.

Hi Erik
In Australia we call conventional reels "overheads"  (on top of the rod), so this is an under head.

Very cool, I had heard down the grapevine that the JM reels are amazing, but need a good greasing before fishing them.  I guess that isn't true!

Hi Dan
I bought a PE5N and a PE8 eight years ago and they both had that red grease everywhere.
They are great reels. I sold my 8 about 2 years ago after never having to use it. It obviously carried more line than my 5n and pulled more drag, but my 5n has always been more than adequate for my needs.

Here ya go Eric. Reel mounts below for jigging. It's a narrow spool so you dont have manage the line much at all... Jeff

That explains it! 
For me and my style with a spinner, I'd prefer a left handed underhead then  ;D
But that's perfect for all those Aussie blokes who put the spinning reel handles on backwards!  ;D ;D

That looks like an Accurate Mutant underhead? The Jigging Master ones have a level-wind assembly, with (I believe) metal gearing to handle the loads.
