New Improved? Accurate Boss "Next Gen" reels for 2016

[Craigen]

So we will soon have a 4th? generation product in this reel series.  So it should now be perfect, right?  Other than cosmetics, one wonders what's inside.  Does anyone here know anything about the internals?  Dogs, no dogs, fail-safe ARB?  If the Series II version with the stainless ARB and no cast control was such a great improvement, the Next Gen ought to be something special.  We'll see...

I've been reading about some improvements to Accurate's BX reels coming from a company called Decoro out of New Zealand.  Their specially tuned jigging reels called the BX DFS Slammer series have some interesting features.  They have five Teflon impregnated bearings which they say require no lubrication.  And the single ARB has oil seals at each end allowing no water in or out.  Sooo... why doesn't Accurate follow Kane Tapper's lead and move forward with these improvements in all their reels?  He says he's had no trouble with the ARB since making these upgrades over three years ago.  Maybe this is what the Next Gen will be.
