Power through any offshore challenge — Shimano Torium A, built for serious saltwater anglers.

The Accurate Ascender Star Drag Reel is a high-performance conventional reel designed for anglers seeking lightweight durability and exceptional drag power in saltwater and inshore fishing. Built with Accurate’s patented TwinStarDrag® technology, it delivers smooth, even drag pressure by applying stainless steel and carbon fiber washers on both sides of the main gear, ensuring consistent performance and up to 30 pounds of stopping power.

Constructed from T6 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum using CVX® technology, the Ascender offers a robust yet lightweight frame, making it ideal for casting lures or battling hard-fighting fish like tuna, yellowtail, and striped bass. The reel features ABEC 3 bearings for ultra-smooth operation and Accurate’s Xtreme Casting Technology® (XCT) for enhanced castability with minimal backlashes.

Braid capacity is measured using Izorline natural white.

Notes:

• Frame Material: T6 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum with CVX® technology for lightweight strength.

• Drag System: Patented TwinStarDrag® with stainless steel and carbon fiber washers for smooth, consistent performance.

• Technologies: Xtreme Casting Technology® (XCT) for improved casting distance, Main Gear Bearing Support (MBS) for durability, and centrifugal cast control system.

Precision-Engineered Versatility for Serious Anglers

The Avet JX G2 Lever Drag Reel delivers exceptional versatility through optimized line capacity, powerful drag performance, and a narrow-spool design that excels in both vertical jigging and casting applications.

Why the JX Profile Matters

The JX's taller, narrower spool design offers distinct advantages over the MX series:

• Faster line retrieval: Increased spool diameter delivers more inches per crank without sacrificing torque
• Easier line management: Narrower profile reduces side-to-side travel when respooling
• Vertical fishing advantage: Optimized geometry for deep drops and rapid retrieval

MC Cast Control System

Five magnetic settings (1-5) provide precise spool control during the cast. Higher settings reduce backlash risk and actually increase distance—especially valuable for anglers transitioning to conventional reels. Setting 1 offers maximum spool freedom; Setting 5 delivers maximum control.

2-Speed Advantage

Switch to low gear when fighting circling fish near the boat. The increased torque lets you rest the rod on the rail and crank steadily against horizontal resistance—less fatigue, more control, better hookup-to-landing ratio.

G2 Series Engineering

• Precision-machined 6061-T6 marine-grade aluminum and stainless steel components
• Hard-anodized finish for superior corrosion resistance
• True one-piece frame maximizes strength-to-weight ratio

Discontinued items, no returns or exchanges.

Key Features & Benefits

• TwinDrag® System
  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.

• CVX® Curved Frame & Sideplate Design
  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.

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

• Sleeved Spool Construction
  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.

• Optimized SPJ Components
  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.

• High Drag Capacity in Compact Package
  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).

• Made in the USA / Quality Craftsmanship
  These are assembled and tested under high standards to ensure precision tolerances and consistent performance.

The Shimano Twin Power SW Spinning Reels are designed for anglers demanding strength and durability. The TwinPower SWC dominates even the most challenging fighting offshore game fish. Now featuring Infinity Drive to provide anglers with more cranking power under load, the TwinPower SW will put anglers in the driver's seat to win the battle even against the most hard-fighting game fish.

New for 2021, the TwinPower SW 10000 and 14000 models incorporate Shimano's Heatsink Drag to deliver overwhelming drag performance by dissipating heat away from the spool to reduce drag-force drop caused by friction. The Heatsink Drag also provides insulation against potentially-damaging heat flowing into the line to give the anglers increased performance during blistering runs and long fights with hard-fighting game fish.

Whether targeting reef species with jigs or pitching live baits to pelagics, the new TwinPower SW empowers anglers to have a distinct advantage and conquer any battle.

The Accurate Valiant 2 2-Speed Lever Drag Conventional Reels redefine precision and power in offshore fishing, blending cutting-edge technology with a lightweight, durable design. Engineered and proudly made in the USA, these reels are the ultimate choice for dedicated anglers targeting everything from inshore species to offshore giants like tuna, wahoo, and shark.

Key Features:

• TwinDrag® System: Delivers smooth, consistent drag pressure with up to 40+ lbs of fish-stopping power (model-dependent), ensuring control during intense battles.

• Xtreme Cast Technology (XCT®): Enhances casting performance by minimizing backlash and maximizing distance, offering star-drag castability in a lever-drag reel.

• CVX® Technology: Features a curved 6061 T-6 aircraft-grade aluminum frame and sideplate, creating an ultra-light yet incredibly strong reel for all-day fishing comfort.

• Precision-Cut 17-4 Stainless Steel Gears: Reinforced with a larger gear shaft for increased torque, built to withstand high drag pressures and tough offshore fights.

• DirecShift® Technology: Enables seamless transitions between high and low gears (e.g., 5:1 to 2.2:1 on BV2-600) for quick adaptation to changing conditions.

• Enhanced Drag Safety: A detent in the drag cam prevents accidental shifts to free spool, and a push-button stop ensures secure full-drag engagement, reducing the risk of losing fish.

• Clicker Feature: Alerts anglers to line movement, improving bite detection.

• Power Arm Handle: Increases leverage and torque for easier reeling under heavy loads.

• Eight Class 5 ABEC Stainless Steel Bearings: Provide fluid operation and long-lasting performance.

• Lightweight Design: Models range from 14.9 oz (BV2-400) to 29 oz (BV2-1000), allowing longer fishing sessions without fatigue.

The Shimano Ocea Jigger Star Drag Reel is a flagship-level star drag jigging reel that uses Shimano's Infinity Drive technology to reduce friction between the pinion gear and spool shaft for paramount cranking power. It uses MicroModule Gearing for an unmatched gear feeling. The Ocea Jigger is available in 1500, 2000, and 4000 sizes. The 1500 size is recommended for fishing 50–80m, while the 2000 size is recommended for fishing 100m.

Equipped with Shimano's cutting-edge Infinity Drive technology, a redesigned main shaft supporting structure is employed to cut down friction with the pinion gear, which in turn results in greatly improved rotational torque. Rotational torque is also augmented by an adjustable long crank handle to provide the angler with exceptional leverage over heavy loads. 

The X-Protect feature enhances durability and preserves that out-of-the-box effortless rotation by utilizing a labyrinth construction that channels water away from key internal components, combined with a water-repellant coating.

• Two position adjustable long crank handle offers all day jigging comfort
• Exciting drag sound allows anglers to know when they are in jeopardy of pulling hooks or breaking off
• Auto-Clutch return to easily bring the reel in and out of free-spool and react quickly to bites
• Spool lock allows anglers to more safely break off when they snag bottom
• New trouble free drag star design which allows for easy adjustment
• E.I. coating on the spool surface in order to prevent corrosion
• HG and PG gear ratios to properly pair with various jigging styles
• Shimano's best-in-class S-ARB bearings to provide long lasting performance
