Way to start 'em young, Alan.
Ron
he's a good kid! the girls seem to like him alot. joy, too. that's what likely matters the most! ;D
Hmmm, young, good looking, works on reels and Joy likes him. I would watch myself if I were you Alan :-\ ;D.
Way to go young man, keep it up and one day you'll be just as good as I am ;D ;D.
he doesn't have to be better than us, sal. all he has to do is live longer!!!!! ;D
accurate boss extreme 30 narrow - regreased the drag washers, cleaned the spool bearings out with carb cleaner and relubed them with TSI 301, packed all the non-spool bearings with yamaha grease, pressed out the old rusted plain steel anti-reverse roller bearing and pressed in TWO stainless steel anti-reverse roller bearings, replace the reel seat screws with No. 2 phillips head screws that were slight longer so that the screws have more "bite" and won't pull out like in the post below, cleaned and relubed everything elase and slapped it back together. the best part is that the kid from the local shop did all the work. i just sat here and kibitzed. i also got him through a couple of rough spots. it took him two hours and this was the first time he'd ever worked on an accurate before.
the reason for all of this? well, for one, the single plain steel AR bearing was rustted and was going to fail. the freespool also stunk. but now that this work is all done, you are looking at the jigging reel with the most powerful anti-reverse system in the world. i have made a half dozen conversions like this. it's not cheap, but the benefits are certainly there.

True!
Not bad for his first, quite a bit was done to that reel. But then again anyone else could, having the Master watching over his shoulder. ;D
He'll do just fine.
even with coaching, there are some guys that have had a pretty hard time. the accurate was his most difficult reel to date. and you can see from the video why the girls would like him so much. ;D
Well done Joey!
Have fun with those reels and those ladies ;)
Keep it up,
Dom
Now that's some freespool ! Well done grasshoppa.....
Well Done Joey! grasshoppa... :D Now that's funny!

Sal it feels like before that. I don't think the wheel was invented. Dominick

You're still a young man, your age is just a number ;)
Hey Dominick --
Listen to Sal, he is right -- age is only a number -- our true worth is measured by our experience and how we interact and share with others -- that is what keeps us relevant -- not earth years.
Appreciate your sharing, talents, and humor. -- Fred

Love it.. So happy you took him under your wing Alan.. I just picked up a new yamaha 40 hp 4 stroke for the skiff so the salmon fishing in the estuary up here on the Rogue river is gonna be on.. You guys should try to make it up if you get a chance.. Best months are Aug and Sept although they are getting some right now.. They're gonna hook up the motor on Tues although I'm thinking of getting a Hydraulic jack plate so I can fish more effectively up river when the steelhead season hits and for Springers next year..
Can't believe the free spool on that Accurate, reminds me of the old curado BSF's..
