I'm an avet fan. They are well made, simple design, and easy to maintain. There is a couple of videos on youtube that is easy to follow. I tried accurate a couple years ago. The reel clamp screw got dethreaded in the frame. They charged me for a new frame and said I must have used the reel on too big of a rod. lol a calstar 800m. I paid for the frame and sold the reel. Couple months later they came out a recall due to bad cnc. But it was too late. I tried out the jx. loved it and now I have mxj, and an hx. lol lost a couple parts my first time taking reel apart. I called Robert and he mailed it out free of charge.
sorry guys I hold a grudge for a long time but the good thing is my loyalty runs deeper.
