Do All Reel? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

pray4BIGfish · 01-18-2015, 09:47 AM

All great reels these guys have posted and theres nothing wrong with the accurates on the yak either.. accurates are definitely top of the line reels and my buddy has two that he fishes everytime were out on the water, seen him put the wood to a 150+lb thresher with one of the smallest reels accurate makes this past august.. and you asked about the fx compared to the bx.. IMHO i would spend a little extra money on the BX just because the BX is actually a TWIN drag reel while the FX isn't, the fx is accurates "reel for the masses", its more affordable and doesn't have their patented twin drag built into that series, you can fish a smaller lighter reel in the bx and get the same if not more drag out of it, and I'm guessing since you want an accurate "little reels and big fish" is what youre after, so why not whack a homeward on a trout sized reel lol it definitely makes it a lot of fun-- 0000oooo000 kill em!

For the price of an accurate BX you could get 2 good outfits and not have a 1 size fits all. The accurate would be a great reel for sure but kayak fishing is often hard on reels with a higher chance of getting lost in the ocean than boat fishing. Just a thought. Mike

Great feedback guys and much appreciated; I was definitly going for small but mighty but it's looking like the Avet MX series and the Saltist need a closer look before committing.
