Recently talked to a guy who said that Accurate made side plates for the 4/0 that used 6/0 guts. Said he has one (but wouldn't sell it except for two of my arms). Anyone know anything more about this? Anyone see or have one?
I don't, but you have to get me that reel Albert. I'm guessing it would be a 4/0 magnum :-\
yeah, they made a "magnum" series of side plates a while back. there was a 4/0 reel with 6/0 guts and a jigmaster reel with 4/0 guts. now THAT was a great reel! it was basically the same as a progear 454.
Thanks for this Albert - I wasn't aware of the Magnum series.
Very keen to find out more though!
A 'Magnum Tank'? Now that I'd like to see (or, better yet, build)... ;) ;D
Cheers, Justin

If you're serious, I'll give you his contact information. Right now, he's here in Hawaii doing some fishing and will get back to Cal. next week.
Put in a good word for me ;).
He also has the 3/0 Magnum with him now and I think he said he'd sell for $375. I'm not interested in it but could pick it up and ship if anyone wants it.
He wants to trade the 4/0 Magnum for my new 4/0 Atlapac. Thinking about it. Will probably do it but haven't committed yet.
He has the Jigmaster Magnum as well, but not here.
Anyone interested, just let me know.
What's the gear ratio of the magnums? Would hate to have a 4/0 with 2.8:1 gear ratio.

Don't know anything more about the reels. He does have some high speed gears at home, but don't know for which reel.
I know someone who has 4:1 gears for the 4/0 and you know who he is too.
