My crew member just bought the fury 500 2 speed for fishing 50-60 lb and it's great. I just got a own fathom 30ld 2 speed for 50lb and both reels r great. We went on a tuna trip together and we both hooked big tuna on 50lb line test wit our strike drag at 15lb and both reels were great. I liked both reels very much and price wise r close. The fathom ld put out a great amount just as the accurate reels do. Great video u explain it well
Thank you finally just scored my first accurate reel and I am a machinist my dad redid a old American star rod and I put a 600 2 speed fury on it my only all American rod and reel combo I own.
I'm targeting mostly Kingfish, Dolphin, and Blackfin Tuna out of the east coast of Florida and I'm considering the Fury FX-500 high speed or the FX-600N high speed for trolling with 30lb mono. Would you recommend either of these two reels for that purpose or is there a model that you would recommend?? I understand that these may not be ideal trolling reels for most people but we prefer smaller profile conventional setups with decent line capacity and I really like what I see in these reels. Thanks
+Anthony Ko I'd lean towards the 500 for your application, also makes for a very good 40# class reel for other species - can fish up to say 50# on the 500. 2 year warranty now on the Accurate reels, would be solid in that application.
+Bill Vang They certainly cast well enough for that application, although I don't know of anyone personally who is doing so. Typically Accurates have been considered higher in maintenance, more precision in their construction which requires greater care after a trip. They are certainly not the type of reels we'd consider "disposable" at their price points. So, yes they can do this job and perhaps no this is not their forte.
hawaii guerilla Accurate has never played the drag game, have not needed to given their patent and line tests intended for their casting reels, there's plenty on tap. From what we see, the Fury series is good for 20lbs at strike, the BX and DPX series in the low 30's. Look at the 400 series as intended for 40# and down, 500's at 50 and down and 600 series best suited for 60# and down. There are those who will put them one line class up from that, eg. 80 on a 600, and drag is quite sufficient for that load.
As much as I'd like to say that's the situation, in reality it is not. The overpriced bike guys had their cosmetics on the market prior to Accurate's rendition.
Similar cosmetics, but the bike guys did the gold/silver first...well maybe second after FinNor. I think Accurate was thumbing their nose by offering their least expensive series in the same dress as the bike guys most expensive product. Sneaky marketing, with a bit of historical background it's understandable...but that tale prob shouldn't be posted.

Enjoy the gear, hope they provide many memories and years of service.
@charkbait can you do a video on the Accurate ATD Platinum reels.
I Love Accurate

great vid thanks
Hopefully Accurate isn't purchased by Shimano or Rapala before I get me one.
that'll never happen
Are these reels good for surf casting? Which do you recommend?

Why would i want a Narrow spool over the wide, other than for line capacity?
Some prefer the narrower spool for ease of casting, less leveling of the line, weight centered on the rod - less tippy.
Because they are fun.
great video ,what is the feedback you hear on the twinspin sr-6?
בלוג הדייג של טרולוס Sorry, missed the message. Feedback good on the little reel. I've seen some improvements over initial production.
Tor kingfish is very good.
how much drag?

the shamino talica 2 looks like they copied it from accurate reel.
As much as I'd like to say that's the situation, in reality it is not. The overpriced bike guys had their cosmetics on the market prior to Accurate's rendition.
Mark Smith I am sure you are right but they just look close in design side buy side anyway love all your reel info.
