2006 ISE Show - San Mateo |
The ISE celebrates its 30 year anniversary in style by showcasing new tackle
in San Mateo, CA (continued)

Accurate:
When it comes to premium
saltwater fishing tackle Accurate is one name everyone recognizes. Jason Fulton
of Accurate showed us all their latest and greatest products. First of was the
Platinum TwinSpin 30 spinning reel. Using their TwinDrag technology they have
created a spinning reel with dual drag system that’ll be great for super
heavy-duty angling. The Platinum TwinSpin is machined from the same high-grade
materials as other Accurate reels. This reel is designed with strength and heat
dissipating qualities to manhandle even the most powerful big game fish. Other
features include a hefty power handle to maximize leverage, a unique Pre-Set
knob on the front of the spool to precisely control drag tension, and a rugged
manual bail mechanism for picking up line. The spinning reel has a gear ratio of
6:1 for high-speed retrieves with more than 50 inches of line laid per
revolution of the reel’s handle. The overall weight of the SR-30 comes out to
32.5 ounces with a spool capacity of 325 yards of 30 pound test monofilament, or
500 yards of 65 pound of braided line. What we didn’t see at the show was the
SR-30L which will be out shortly with a slow and more powerful ratio of 4:1, and
a new size 20 for anglers looking for a smaller reel but having the same buff
attributes of its 30 sized sibling.

The new Twinspin is machined from
the core gearing to the handle
Accurate also
showed off their new knobs for the Boss Magnum reels. The Power Knobs are
crafted out of solid aluminum and uses 2 ball bearings for a smoother retrieve
and bored out for much weight reduction compared to the older knobs. These new
knobs are now available as an upgrade and come in many different anodized
finishes.

In addition to the new reels
and knobs Accurate showed off a new prototype co-branded Accurate and Calstar
rod. This is a match made in big game heaven, and while little is known about
the final specifications of this rod series we do know that these rods will be
designed to balance out perfectly with the premium Accurate offerings. Stay
