gary, what weight line do you want to use?  mono, spectra, or topshot?  drag setting?  line capacity?  single speed or two?  retrieve rate?

You might get away with an Accurate 870, but not the 270. Personally, I'd go wit the 665 with slow (4.1) gears. The fast gears have almost no cranking power.

braid 65 with floro top shot 16lb at strike single speed intrested in any oyher reel for this type of fishing thanks alan

400 yards of spectra would work, right?  i would go with an 870 if you want to stay with the old school accurates.  i prefer the older boss series reels to thed new boss extremes.

hi alan  im looking for a light reel with strike  drag starting 16 lb at least 300 yard of 65 braid east coast tuna average 100 lb and bottom fish about 300 400 deep any advice would be welcome

[alantani]

lots of reels with fit that need.  the two that i have would be the accurate boss 870 two speed and the okuma makaira 10 two speed. you would get an easy 15 pounds of drag from either reel.

thankyou any idea where i can locate 870

[alantani]

i couldn't find anything on ebay.  there is a used (actually purchased but never fished) mk 10 for sale here.   http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=3488.0  you virtually never find them for sale used.  gary, grab it quick before someone else does.
