New BX2 Reels Released
“Accurate’s New BX2 line of two speeds offers anglers Small Reels for Big Fish”
The new “BX2” Boss Extreme 2 speeds is a dream come true for fishermen who don’t want to spend the time fighting their tackle versus the fish. Since the introduction of Spectra line, reel manufacturers are continuously looking for ways to put the power and torque available in larger reels in to a smaller frame. Accurate has made its first real stride with the B2-30 and B2-50 which were well accepted this season by many of the long range crew for the sardine bite and were credited with numerous cows (fish over 200 pounds).
In the beginning of 2008 David and Douglas Nilsen designed the first of the BX2 reels for our many fishing trips during the year. These reels landed fish in New Zealand, Australia, Panama, Mexico, and other fishing grounds throughout the world. The BX2 has held up to the rigors of stand up fishing to a variety of species without problem. Our dream of a small reel for big fish has finally gotten one step closer to reality. These reels offer features that reels twice their size have to effectively stop fired up game fish in their tracks.
The “BX2” Boss Extreme 2 speeds are being introduced in 400 (40lb), 500 (50lb), and 600 (60lb) sizes to fit the needs of serious anglers.
Bx2 feature:
- Calibrated Lever Drag for Accurate Drag Setting
- New Two speed Mechanism for Instant, Solid engagement
- New power handle for increased Comfort and Torque
- 17-4 Heat Treated Stainless Steel gears and gear shaft
- Larger, Stronger Gear Shaft for increased Torque
- Larger Anti Reverse Bearing for Solid Stopping Power
The realization for anglers that there are smaller reels hitting the market that will handle the abuse of big game fishing has been long overdue. With the Patented TwinDrag feature and the new added features to the BX2 reels, we have gotten as close to a “Dream come true” as you can get. Our goal is to sell people product that creates good feelings and memories that last forever. If we can offer a small comfortable reel that gives people the confidence and power to land their targeted game fish we have done the job we set out to do. We are in this for the long haul and will continue to innovate new products as we see the needs of today’s fishermen continuously change with the introduction of new techniques for a variety game fish species. At Accurate we want to build the products that exceed the standards set by existing tackle and shoot for the next level not yet achieved. With this type of commitment towards the future, we hope to be creating products for years to come that will land the next fisherman’s fish of a lifetime.

Accurate has spent countless hours researching the needs of anglers at shows throughout the country as well as time spent on the water putting your feedback to the test. Our initial idea of Small reels – Big Fish has become more wide spread throughout the country with anglers using smaller tackle to conquer the bigger Gamefish. With that type of mentality growing in popularity, the B2-30 and B2-50 were developed for those anglers in mind. These reels have standard features that include our patented Accurate TwinDrag, Stainless Steel Gears, AccuCast Casting system, Class 5 ABEC bearings, and are made out of 6061 T-6 aircraft aluminum for added strength and lightweight.
These Boss Extreme reels also have a harden 17-4 spool shaft for increased strength and pulling power. The oversized 17-4 stainless steel gear system gives the angler the ability to take one more crank even at the most critical stage of the battle. With 30 pounds of built in drag and standard harness lugs, these reels are ready to snap in for the long run. The B2 Extremes have an oversized reel clamp with beefier studs for a solid connection to the rod. For the anglers that do not use harness lugs we have designed replacement harness lug blanks for a cleaner, smoother look.

Big Fish on Little Reels by Captn. Bruce Smith
The last couple of trips to Guadalupe Island have opened my eyes to some new, effective techniques and the tackle that is used to compliment them. To say things or the way we fish is changing is an understatement, west coast anglers have always been at the forefront of tackle technology and innovation. I believe live bait has a major role in what pushes us to find smaller tackle, clearer monofilament and fluorocarbon, composite rods and a ’mad scientist’ outlook of trying different approaches to present the most lively sardine or anchovy as far away from the boat as fast as possible.
In past articles I have named names and this will be no different. There are products that I see that work and many that don’t. Fishermen enjoy hearing specifics, although many times it doesn’t matter what color of jig you use, we want to hear what color is the hottest, newest out there, that “magic bullet.” I am here to put out some new things that I have seen work, on the water, day after day. Many times it will take years for a lot of us to come around to new techniques or materials, but you have to understand also that captains and crews don’t like to endorse hot, new, magic bullets until they see for themselves that they works, under pressure.
Smaller, smaller, smaller reels; when is it going to stop? Not very soon, I hope. Accurate and Avet are leading the way to the small reel revolution. If you haven’t picked up a small Accurate Boss TwinDrag 2-Speed 870 or 665, or Avet JX or LX, now is the time to do it. Hands down, these reels are awesome fishing killing tools. Ten years ago I was not too fond of Accurate reels, there were some problems. Today this opinion of mine has done a 180-degree flip, and I fully endorse these little powerful two speed reels. And no, I am not getting paid to say this, nor have I received compensation in any way, Jack Nilsen and sons have come a long way and they have always pushed the two speed envelope with their innovative products and I really can’t say enough good things about their new reels today.
Why should you go out and spend your pretty pennies on small reels? Two words: bait presentation. Of course reels won’t help you select that hottest sardine in the tray, but they do allow that sardine to pull the spectra off your spool with a minimum of inertia and continued free spool. This matters. How much drag that is created between the spool and line in the water will determine how many bites you get. What do we do? We decrease the size or diameter of our lines (spectra) and the size and diameter of the reels or spools.
The hard part of doing all of this is to do it without sacrificing line strength or pulling power. Secondly, it’s a lot easier to tote around a smaller reel all day than it is a two speed 4/0, plain and simple. And yes, these diminutive monsters will do just that, take the place of much of your bigger older tackle. Third, the two-speed aspect of small reels was a big question mark when they came out. Why would you need a two speed for 40 or 50-lb. line, much less for 30? Well, for one thing, not everyone and his uncle gets to fish off of Mag bay or Hurricane for a few weeks every winter. Us working Joes spend our time at places like said Guadalupe island and Alijos rocks, where the fishing can be less than wide open and we actually have to fish our baits away from the boat.
In situations like offshore bluefin fishing, you have to use smaller diameter lines like thirty and forty to get a bite. One thing in common with these locals is the size of the fish. Guadalupe especially this year, gives the five-day angler a serious chance at getting that Holy Grail of a 100-lb. yellowfin tuna. Not that everyone is getting them, in fact only a very small percentage are over 100 lbs. right now, but almost all of them are over 50! Now trying to get in a 70-lb. yellowfin tuna with a single speed reel is a chore to say the least. Do yourself a favor, drop it in low and get that fish to the boat.
Next item of the day: short top-shots and Blackwater fluorocarbon. Here is a slightly different take on things. I am on the Blackwater pro-staff, but this is because I went to them and asked to work with their product, since it’s so good. As in previous articles, I can say enough about the abrasion resistance of the Blackwater material, but today I want to mention the elongation factor or simply put how much it stretches. Yes, Blackwater fluorocarbon stretches, so put away your belief of pulled hooks because of short top-shots of fluorocarbon.
No more feeling like you are fishing with a piece of wire attached to your spectra, fluoro has come along way since its inception to be used for a fishing line. Again I would like to state on how clear the BW material is. Just hold up to the light of the tackle shop next to any other brand and you will be a believer. For me personally, clear lines help in getting bites, whether its due to the fish actually have trouble seeing the color or the line or its just because I have more confidence in clear line, the more clear the better.
Short top shots: here I make a stand. Many people will disagree. Short top shots kick butt. I love ’em. What it comes down to is that I am as much of a gear head as the next guy and you have to be if you want to do these things right. Seizing or crimping, when used in conjunction with cyanoacrylate glue (Zap-a-Gap, Mega-stick, and no, they are not all the same and there is room for improvement in this area), both work well. Hollow spectra for seamless connections that pass through your guides on the cast has helped immensely.

All Boss Gears 70% Stronger
Accurate had spent a lot of time researching gears with focus on material and in December 2007 we decided to make a change. In January 2008 we started to manufacture all of our Boss gears with 17-4 Stainless Steel instead of 303 Stainless Steel. With this change in material all Boss gears are 70% stronger! We started implementing this in the production of all of our Boss TwinDrag reels including the Boss 2-Speeds in the beginning of the 2008. This decision was made based on feedback from our loyal fishermen looking for gearing that would stand up to rigors of today's Japanese style of Jig fishing.
This change was primarily made based on based how long our gears were lasting for the jigging enthusiasts using our 665 narrow and 665 narrow-narrow reels. This type of fishing is really abusive to gears and we have seen some main gears wear out in less than a year of heavy usage. The new 17-4 material will bring our Boss reel line to an even higher level of toughness.

New Pit Bull Clamp for Cork Jig Rods
Accurate has released a new device certain to appeal to jig casters, those anglers who favor longer rods with “deckhand-style” cork or tape-wrapped handles. The new, much wider and stronger clamp holds rod and reel together over a much greater gripping area, and will obviously be less prone to loosening, slipping or getting mounted askew.
The new clamp is made from solid 6061 T6 aluminum with a lightening hole in the center. It’s fastened by six Allen nuts instead of the former pair of nuts on the older clamps, so it should grip like a Pit Bull. The reel to rod connect is very secure with no movement. It was recently tested at Guadalupe Island of Mexico by Jack Nilsen and other anglers.
