is this Accurate?

[melomaxx]

So it comes down to why did accurate go with a one way bearing?
And avet goes, one way bearing and a dog or pawl?
And okuma goes one way and double dog pawl?
I triple dog dare you!!

Fishy,

When you decide to dump your accurates I will give you the same exchange rate as the fish for cans and I'll even throw in a .23 popper to sweeten the deal

One reel for a 5 oz can plus a popper........sounds like a deal to me

it's a deal....but no checks no poppers...0.23 cash

there are many instances of the ARB's failing in the bx reels.

i had a 265 lber on for about an hour and the reel failed 45 min into the fight. the handle went full knuckle buster at deep color. i got the fish, but a lot could have gone bad.

there was 2 other same situations i know about, first hand.

i love the wieght, love the gearing, love the free spool, love the line capacity, love the look of the bx reels!!!

i cant affoard to hook anymore big fish on them though. too stressfull.

go with the ATD's or another brand.. (for BIG fish)

Which reel size were you using on the 235 lber?

Curious that none of the Accurate guys have checked in on this. I think I'll send a PM to Ben.

All the Boss reels will handle 30 or so pounds of max drag pressure. If the reel is fished too much beyond this factory spec you will first find that there is resistance when turning the handle. It will also we harder to engage the drag lever.

I do not know what the load rating is for the anti-reverse bearing, but I will see what I can find out from our production manager. I do know the bearing was chosen because it can handle the load.

I mention all this because, like anything, if you use it beyond the specs there is potential for problem. That being said, if you fish it within the specs you can catch anything. Might have to play it longer, of course, if it's real big.

We have seen two bearings fail due to overload and overload only. Have seen a few others with maintenance issues. On the flip side I have heard of several tuna topping 200 lbs being caught on the large Boss Extreme 2-speeds. Plenty in the 100 plus range.
