Re: Reel ?
The Accurist is a good all around reel. I've use one for years, and it's held up fine.
I like the flipping switch for buzz baits, so I can engage the reel the second the lure hits the water, and I can begin the action with the rod while I switch hands. Of course, I got a left handed Kevin VanDam from Bass Pro, and don't have to switch any more.
I think the KVD, also a Quantum reel but made for BPS, is a better reel for the money.
I use one for sight fishing, and for blades and frogs on 50lb. braid.
The only knock on both of these reels is they won't throw light lures well. 3/8oz. is the lightest I can throw well with them. Even though I am using 8lb. line, and a rod rated for 1/8oz.
If you're throwing lighter stuff, and can afford it, the Pflueger Summit is great for the $160 price, or you can splurge and get a Shimano Chronarch MG50, for $250, and it will throw anything.
