Alan, I noticed that you don't have any tutorials on the Accurate reels and was wondering why. I have used your Xtreme Reel technique on my Avets and Shimano reels and was amazed with the freespool time. I just purchased two BX2-500's and noticed that their freespool time is only about 30 seconds.
Any advice or thoughts? Should I be concerned about the relatively low freespool time of 30 seconds vs. the almost 3 mins with the Avets?
Thanks,

well, because most guys can't afford them..... :-\
i personally own every two speed accurate, from the 197 to the 50. great reels and, i think, the best available anywhere at any price. a while back, a guy had made a comment about the photo of the full rack of accurates that i take on my long range trips. he said, "well they're nice but they're not something that i could ever afford." i really took his comments to heart. since then, i have concentrated on more common entry level reels. i want a guy to be able to take a cheaper reel, make some modifications, and take it out and have it perform to it's absolute limit. i guess when i get the lower end reels done, i'll start working on the high end stuff. alan
