I will keep it short..

I want it to be known that I am very disapointed with the "Accurate" 665 W 2speed, and the "Accurate" service.


New Reel.. 2 Yellowfin Tunas caught and the reel broke (Deck hand free-lined the last yellowfin in). Good Job Josh (Big-E)!

I called "Accurate" and talked to Ally / sent the reel in.

I got the reel back 2 weeks later.

I put the reel on rod and then realized the reel will not retrieve line in high speed and sometimes in low speed.

I call Ally at "Accurate" and I am sending it in again.

Maybe they should call themselves "In-Accurate" or possibly "Un-Dependable".

So did they make good on the repairs a second time?

Traditionally they are very dependable and quality reels.

The 665W 2 speed is a newer model and they may not have all the bugs worked out?

One of the problems was gear alignment. They now put a stronger spring in the shifting mechanism. The main gear also had issues. Now, the main gear made from 17-4 stainless. The pinion gear is already made from this harder steel. Just send it in for the fix. It's free.

Mr Bill

17-4PH High Carbon stainless is high dollar stuff... Aircraft Quality metal used for doublers in high stress areas of the wing root and horizontal stabilizer.

Made a lot of repairs on DC-8's and B 727, 737 with 17-4PH and 17-7PH sheet material.. we hand formed annealed and heat treated it.
