3 Tackle Express Tips

  1. Prepare before weighing. Install batteries, select your unit, and let the display return to zero before attaching a fish. Follow the included instructions for using the grip.
  2. Keep the reading steady. Minimize movement while weighing and confirm the hold reading before recording it. If a reading looks questionable, reset and repeat.
  3. Keep units consistent. Record pounds as decimals when using the pound display. For example, 3.50 lb is three and a half pounds, not three pounds and fifty ounces.

Frequently asked questions

Is this scale waterproof?

This model is listed as water resistant. Keep it out of the water and dry it before storage.

Are batteries included?

No. Have two AAA batteries ready before your trip.

What is the maximum capacity?

The listed capacity is 55 pounds or 25 kilograms. Do not exceed it.

What does a hundredth-of-a-pound display mean?

It shows pound readings in increments of 0.01 lb. Display resolution alone should not be treated as a promise that every field measurement is accurate to that amount.

Does it also measure length?

Yes. A tape is built into the scale. Accu-Cull lists it as 38 inches / 1 meter; those are the manufacturer's nominal specifications, not an exact unit conversion.

When you're locked in a fight with tuna, yellowtail, or any hard-charging offshore target, a shifting reel isn't just annoying — it kills your leverage and risks losing the fish. The Accurate Ascender Reel Clamp Kit is the OEM solution engineered specifically for Ascender series reels, delivering rock-solid rod seat mounting under extreme drag pressure.

When the Fight Gets Real

High-torque cranking puts massive stress on the reel-to-rod connection. Standard reel seats can loosen over time, especially on heavy drag setups. This kit locks your Ascender down hard — no movement, no creep, no compromise. It's what serious offshore anglers reach for before heading to the grounds.

What's In the Box

Built for Ascender Reels — Nothing Else

This is an Accurate-specific kit. It is not a universal clamp. Compatible reels must have stud holes — narrow versions of the Ascender series do not have stud holes and are not compatible. Verify your exact model before ordering.

FAQ

Will this fit a narrow version of the Accurate Ascender?

No. Narrow Ascender models do not have stud holes and are not compatible with this clamp kit. Only standard (non-narrow) Ascender reels can use this hardware.

Do I need any special tools to install this kit?

No special tools required. Standard hand tools are sufficient for installation. All mounting hardware is included in the kit.

Which size should I order for an Ascender 400?

The Ascender 400 is compatible with both Small and Large versions of this kit depending on the specific variant. Check your reel's stud hole configuration or contact us and we can help confirm the right fit.

The Accurate Ascender Star Drag Reel brings Accurate's legendary TwinStarDrag® technology into a lightweight, USA-made conventional package. Whether you're casting iron for yellowtail, soaking live bait for tuna, or working the bottom for striped bass, this reel delivers smooth, consistent drag pressure with the durability anglers expect from Accurate.

Where Standard Star Drags Fall Short

Most conventional star drag reels apply drag pressure from a single side of the main gear. Under sustained load, that creates uneven wear and heat buildup that degrades smoothness over time. The Ascender's patented TwinStarDrag® system applies stainless steel and carbon fiber washers on both sides of the main gear — distributing pressure evenly, running cooler, and maintaining consistency across multiple runs. It's the same core drag philosophy as Accurate's lever drag lineup, now in a star drag format.

FAQ

What's the difference between the X and XN models?

The XN (narrow) variants have a smaller spool capacity and a more compact profile. They're ideal when you don't need full line capacity but want a lighter, better-balanced reel on a medium-action rod.

Is the Ascender Star Drag made in the USA?

Yes. Accurate manufactures their reels in the USA, and the Ascender Star Drag is no exception. That's part of what justifies the price point over import alternatives.

How does TwinStarDrag® differ from a standard star drag?

Standard star drags apply pressure from one side of the main gear. TwinStarDrag® applies stainless and carbon fiber drag washers on both sides simultaneously — distributing heat and pressure evenly for smoother, more consistent performance under sustained load.

Cinching a knot tight with bare hands is one of the fastest ways to cut yourself on the water. The Accurate Knot Puller solves that problem cleanly — it lets you seat your knot with full, even pressure and zero risk of the line slicing into your fingers. Whether you're building a leader topside or re-rigging mid-trip, this is the kind of small tool you notice immediately when you don't have it.

The Line-Cutting Problem

Fluorocarbon and heavy braid don't give. When you pull a knot tight by hand on 50–80 lb line, you're either not cinching it fully — leaving a weaker knot — or you're cutting into your hands. Over a long trip with multiple re-rigs, that adds up. The Accurate Knot Puller gives you a rubber-coated grip surface that the line bites into, letting you apply full pulling force without contact with the line itself.

How It Works

The knot puller is two pieces that screw together for a compact profile that fits in a tackle tray or pocket. It includes a hole at the top for a keyring or lanyard attachment, and a slot that accepts a hook directly — useful for cinching connection knots at the hook end. Both pieces have a black rubber coating that gives the line something to grip during the pull.

FAQ

What sizes does the Accurate Knot Puller come in?

Accurate makes the knot puller in a 3" and 4" version. The 4" is stocked here. If you need the 3" version, contact us and we can check availability.

Can I use this for braid-to-leader connections?

Yes — it works well for any line-to-line or line-to-hook connection where you need to apply pulling tension to seat the knot. The rubber-coated grip surface gives the line traction so you can pull fully without it cutting into your skin.

How do I attach it to my gear so I don't lose it?

There's a hole at the top of the knot puller designed for a keyring or lanyard. Most anglers clip it to a tackle bag, rod holder, or belt loop so it's accessible without digging through a tray mid-trip.

The Accurate Reel Clamp Kit is the OEM mounting hardware for Accurate reels — designed to lock your reel to the rod seat with zero movement under heavy drag and high-torque cranking. Available in standard and narrow versions across multiple finish colors to match your setup.

Loose Reels Lose Fish

A reel that shifts or creeps on the rod seat during a long fight isn't just annoying — it affects your leverage, changes your drag angle, and can compromise the rod-reel connection at the worst possible moment. Accurate's OEM clamp kits are the correct hardware for these reels, machined to fit the seat studs precisely. A proper clamp means the reel stays exactly where you set it, from the first crank to the last.

Wide Compatibility

These clamp kits fit the full range of Accurate conventional reels:

Important: Select the Narrow option for narrow-spool models including 400N, 500N, and 600NN. Standard and narrow clamps are not interchangeable — verify your reel model before ordering.

FAQ

How do I know if I need the Narrow or Standard clamp?

If your reel model number includes an N (e.g., 400N, 500N, 600NN), you need the Narrow version. Standard models without an N suffix take the standard clamp. If you're still unsure, contact us with your reel model number and we'll confirm.

Does this kit include all the hardware I need?

Yes — the kit includes the clamp, mounting studs, and securing nuts. Everything needed for a complete installation is included.

Will this fit my Accurate Ascender?

The Ascender has its own dedicated clamp kit listed separately. These kits are for Boss, Valiant, Extreme, Dauntless, Fury, and Tern series reels. Check the Accurate Ascender Reel Clamp Kit listing if you have an Ascender.

Your Accurate reel is a serious investment. The Accurate Reel Cover is a custom-fit neoprene cover designed specifically for Accurate reels — not a generic slip-on, but a tailored cover that fits the profile of the reel correctly and stays put. Whether you're traveling to the grounds, storing rods in a rod locker, or hanging a rigged rod between drifts, this cover keeps your reel protected and your hook or lure secured.

What Generic Covers Get Wrong

A loose or ill-fitting cover bunches up, falls off, and doesn't protect the parts that matter — the drag knob, handle, and side plates. The Accurate cover is built to the dimensions of their own reel lineup, so it seats cleanly against the frame without gaps. The rear wrap secures around the back of the reel or rod so it won't work loose in a rod locker or during transport.

Which size fits a Valiant 500N?

The Medium (ARC-M) fits the 500N. It also covers the 400, 400N, and standard 500.

Does this cover work on a rod-and-reel combo, or just the reel alone?

Both. The rear wrap is designed to go around the back of the reel or secure to the rod seat area, so it works whether the reel is mounted on a rod or stored off the rod.

Is this the same cover Accurate ships with their reels?

Yes — this is the OEM Accurate reel cover. It's the same cover included with many of their reels and sold separately as a replacement or additional cover for spare setups.

The Accurate Tern 2 is the evolution of one of Accurate's most popular conventional star drag reels. It keeps everything that made the original Tern a go-to for saltwater anglers — lightweight aluminum frame, smooth operation, genuine castability — and adds TwinStarDrag® (TSD) technology, a first in the star drag category. If you fish kelp paddies, rocks, or offshore structure and want Accurate-grade drag performance in a star drag format, the Tern 2 is the benchmark.

Why the Original Tern Needed an Upgrade

Single-sided drag systems heat up and lose consistency under sustained pressure. The original Tern performed well, but Accurate's engineers applied the same dual-sided drag philosophy from their lever drag lineup to develop TwinStarDrag® — applying stainless and carbon fiber washers on both sides of the main gear simultaneously. The result is smoother, more even pressure, better heat dissipation, and higher maximum drag without the star getting notchy under load.

Tackle Express Tips

FAQ

What makes the Tern 2 different from the original Tern?

The Tern 2 adds TwinStarDrag® (TSD) technology — a dual-sided drag system on the main gear — and the new MGBS Main Gear Bearing Support system. Both are upgrades that deliver smoother drag, more consistent pressure under load, and better durability compared to the original single-sided design.

What's the difference between XN and X models?

The XN (narrow) variants have a smaller spool with less line capacity but a more compact, lighter profile. They're ideal when you don't need full capacity and prefer a better-balanced reel on a medium-weight rod. The X models hold more line — better for deep water or when you're using heavier braid.

Can I cast iron with the Tern 2?

Yes — and this is one of the Tern 2's strengths. The XCT® system with side spool tension adjustment was specifically designed to make conventional reels more castable. It's not a baitcaster, but for conventional iron anglers used to thumbing a reel, the Tern 2 casts noticeably cleaner than comparable star drag designs.

Why Anglers Choose the Accurate Tern 2 Star Drag

The Accurate Tern 2 Star Drag is a purpose-built conventional reel engineered for anglers who demand precision, power, and reliability when targeting hard-fighting saltwater gamefish. Built in the USA from 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum, the Tern 2 combines Accurate's signature TwinStar Drag system with stainless steel gears and an ARB anti-reverse bearing to deliver the stopping power and hook-setting authority needed for tuna, yellowtail, and other pelagic bruisers.

Built for Live Bait and Jig Fishing

The main benefit of the Tern 2 is its star drag configuration, which gives anglers the ability to make quick, on-the-fly drag adjustments during a fight — critical when a big fish makes a sudden run. The TwinStar Drag system places dual carbon drag plates on both sides of the spool for smooth, consistent pressure with no grab or stutter, even at high drag settings. Combined with the instant anti-reverse bearing, you get solid hooksets and the stopping power to turn a fish before it reaches structure.

The Problem It Solves

Many conventional reels in this class suffer from inconsistent drag pressure, heavy weight that causes fatigue during long days on the water, or gears that strip under heavy load. The Tern 2 addresses all three: the TwinStar Drag delivers buttery-smooth, consistent pressure throughout the fight, the 7075 aluminum frame keeps weight down without sacrificing rigidity, and the stainless steel gear train handles high-torque cranking without flexing or failing.

What Makes It Stand Out — and What to Watch For

Advantages: Made in the USA with 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum, TwinStar dual-drag system for smooth and consistent pressure, ARB instant anti-reverse for solid hooksets, stainless steel main and pinion gears for durability, 6 stainless steel ball bearings for ultra-smooth operation, and a power handle for maximum cranking leverage.

Considerations: As a star drag reel, it's optimized for live bait and jig fishing rather than high-speed lure casting. The single-speed design means no on-the-fly gear ratio changes — if you need two-speed capability, consider a lever drag model instead. The premium price reflects the USA-made construction and high-end components.

The Right Pick If...

You fish live bait or yo-yo jigs for tuna, yellowtail, amberjack, or other powerful saltwater species and want a reel that delivers smooth, consistent drag and rock-solid hooksets. The Tern 2 is ideal for private boaters, sport boat anglers, and long-range fishermen who need USA-made reliability without the complexity of a two-speed reel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between star drag and lever drag?

Star drag reels use a star-shaped knob to adjust drag pressure, giving you fine control during the fight. Lever drag reels use a preset lever system with strike and full positions. Star drag is preferred by many anglers for live bait fishing because you can make micro-adjustments on the fly, while lever drag is often favored for trolling and chunking where you want repeatable, preset drag settings.

Is the Tern 2 suitable for trolling?

While the Tern 2 can handle trolling applications, it's optimized for live bait and jig fishing where the star drag's adjustability shines. For dedicated trolling, a lever drag reel may offer more convenient preset drag positions. That said, many anglers successfully troll with star drag reels, especially for smaller tuna and yellowtail.

Slow pitch jigging demands a very specific reel — light enough to work the rod all day, powerful enough to turn serious fish, and precise enough to feel every flutter of the jig. The Accurate Valiant 2 SPJ was built with exactly that in mind. It combines Accurate's legendary TwinDrag® system with a purpose-built SPJ configuration: elongated handle, no clicker, and an aircraft-grade aluminum frame that won't weigh you down on the long drop.

Why Standard Jigging Reels Fall Short for SPJ

Conventional jigging reels are designed for speed and power, but slow pitch technique is about rhythm, load, and release. A reel with the wrong handle length, too heavy a body, or clicker noise breaks the cadence that makes SPJ work. The Valiant 2 SPJ eliminates those compromises — it's tuned specifically for the technique, not adapted from a general-purpose design.

FAQ

What makes this different from a standard Valiant 2?

The SPJ version includes an elongated handle arm with a dedicated SPJ knob, removes the clicker for quieter operation, and is factory-tuned for the slower cadence of slow pitch jigging. The frame and drag system are the same Valiant 2 platform.

Does the VT2-300-SPJ come with a rod clamp?

No — some Valiant 2 SPJ models do not include a rod clamp due to the frame design. Check your rod's reel seat compatibility or pick up an Accurate reel clamp kit separately if needed.

Which model should I choose for offshore tuna on SPJ?

The VT2-500N-SPJ or VT2-600N-SPJ are better choices for larger tuna. The 500N offers 30 lbs max drag at 14.8 oz — a great balance of capacity and weight. Step up to the 600N if you're targeting heavier fish or fishing deeper water with heavier jigs.

Engineered for serious slow-pitch anglers, the Accurate Valiant BV2 SPJ 500N Slow Pitch Jigging Reels delivers exceptional performance, durability, and finesse to every drop. Every design choice is optimized for jigging — from the light, curved frame to the drag system engineered for smooth power — so you can focus on technique and the fight, not your gear.

Discontinued item, no returns or exchanges.

Key Features & Benefits

The Valiant SPJ uses a patented TwinDrag® setup, applying drag pressure evenly from both sides of the spool. This reduces uneven wear, improves heat dissipation, and gives you smoother drag performance under load.

Machined from high-grade aluminum, the frame and sideplate adopt a curved structure (CVX® technology) that removes unnecessary material while preserving rigidity. This results in a lighter reel with excellent strength and torsional resistance.

Internal drive components are made from 17-4 heat-treated stainless steel, providing longevity, corrosion resistance, and reliable torque even in harsh saltwater environments.

A sleeved spool design reduces friction on the spool shaft, enhancing free-spool performance. That means smoother drops, better line behavior, and less friction drag when letting your jigs fall.

Compared to standard Valiant models, SPJ versions typically omit the clicker, include an SPJ-specific knob, and use a handle length tailored for jigging leverage. These refinements improve ergonomics and reduce fatigue during long sessions.

Despite their relatively lightweight builds, Valiant SPJ reels can deliver robust drag — suitable for serious bottom fish, tuna, and other strong fighters — depending on model (e.g. 24 lb, 30 lb, or more).

These are assembled and tested under high standards to ensure precision tolerances and consistent performance.

The Accurate Valiant VT2 2-Speed Lever Drag Reel is the workhorse of Accurate's offshore lineup — a full-featured, USA-made conventional reel designed for anglers who need serious drag power, two-speed versatility, and a lightweight frame that won't wear them down over a long day on the water. From yellowtail and tuna to wahoo and large offshore pelagics, the VT2 is built to handle whatever you put it up against.

When One Speed Isn't Enough

On a single-speed reel, you're locked into one retrieve rate regardless of the situation. When a fish reverses direction or surges toward the boat, you either crank faster or lose ground. The VT2's DirecShift® two-speed system lets you drop from high gear into low gear instantly — without taking the reel out of strike drag, without losing your fighting position. When a big tuna decides to go deep, low gear is the difference between gaining line and watching the spool empty.

Tackle Express Tips

FAQ

What does DirecShift® mean on the VT2?

DirecShift® is Accurate's 2-speed shifting system that allows you to switch between high and low gear ratios instantly while the reel is engaged — no need to back off drag or stop reeling. It's designed specifically for fighting large, unpredictable fish that change depth or direction mid-fight.

What's the difference between the 600NS and 600N on other Valiant models?

The "N" denotes narrow spool for reduced line capacity and a more compact profile. The "S" suffix indicates silver finish. The 600NS is the narrow, silver-finish variant of the VT2 600 — ideal when you want a lighter, better-balanced setup and don't need maximum line capacity.

Is the Accurate Valiant VT2 made in the USA?

Yes. Accurate manufactures their reels domestically in the USA. The VT2 series is part of that same production line, which is a key differentiator from similarly-priced offshore reels made overseas.

The AFTCO Alijo Fighting Day Belt is designed for use with 20-lb. to 50-lb.lines and is the perfect "day belt" for stand-up fishing against sailfish, dolphin, kingfish, small tuna, yellowtail and other smaller to medium-sized gamefish.  Stamped from pure marine grade gold anodized aluminum with a super-comfortable over-molded, closed cell polyurethane pad, the Alijo fishing belt accommodates the same "Quick Clip" nylon straps as the larger AFTCO fighting belts.  The stainless steel gimbal cross pin is removable, but unique is the thermal-formed nylon liner inside the aluminum gimbal pocket that helps resist scarring.  The Alijos fishing rod holder belt is lightweight and easy to wear, yet offers the same heavy-duty features of the larger AFTCO fishing rod holder belts.

Stay steady and comfortable through long days on wet decks with the AFTCO Ankle Deck Fishing Boots. Their lightweight, quick-drying construction, ankle-height profile, and non-marking high-traction rubber sole make them a practical choice for anglers moving between the boat, dock, pier, and shoreline.

Sure Footing Without a Bulky Boot

Slippery surfaces and heavy footwear can make a full day of fishing harder than it needs to be. These boots combine dependable deck traction with a streamlined ankle-height design that stays out of the way while casting, handling tackle, or working around the boat.

Why Anglers Choose Them

The low-profile build is easier to move in than a tall deck boot, while the breathable, quick-dry materials are suited to warm fishing conditions. Choose them when mobility, grip, and easy all-day wear matter more than the added coverage of a taller boot.
