Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

Tim, you've been home all day waiting by the window for that box to come, get back to work ::) ;D.
I have the same but mine is a 4/0. Very nice bud ;).

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Thank you  ;D I just ordered the double dog & 5:1 gear set up from Alan, will get the big Alan to send the gear sleeve, then the decision on the handle and drags  :-\

Nice! That handle has to go, I hate those flat rubber handles that Penn uses.

Tim, I thought you were too tired to work on it this evening ;D. Nice ss clicker spring, if we could get one of these great machinists here to make us some ss eccentric and lever, you would have 100% ss guts in that baby ;).
Tim, try the custom spacer sleeve from Black Pearl and see if it fits, it would really help. On some Accurate it doesn't fit on my plates it does.
What I like the most on those plates, is the left and right side adjustable bearing, I don't get it why others didn't consider it, Penn included. That spool is very easy to keep centered.
Enjoy it!

Beautiful score. How I would love to get my hands on just one of these Accurate conversions and finish it right off. Sweet rod too.
