The Accurate Knot Puller is a great tool to cinch your knots tight without the risk of injuring your hands. The Accurate Knot Puller comes in two different options; a 3 inch and a 4 inch option to choose from! It consists of two pieces that screw together to be compact to fit in a pocket or tackle box.

There is a hole at the top for a key ring and a slot that can be used to put a hook through for cinching down knots at that location. For line connections, the two pieces of the knot puller have a black rubber coating for ease of holding while cinching down knots and to give something for the line to “bite” in to.

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.

Accurate Tern 2 Star Drag - Special Los Angeles Edition

The Special Los Angeles Edition Tern 2 features a striking blue and silver finish with a custom-engraved side plate that celebrates LA's iconic culture. The engraving includes "I Love LA" lettering, Los Angeles script, a baseball, and palm trees — a nod to the city's rich fishing heritage and its unmistakable SoCal lifestyle. It's a limited-edition collector's piece that stands out on the boat as much as it performs on the water.

Why Anglers Choose the Accurate Tern 2 Star Drag

The Accurate Tern 2 Star Drag is a purpose-built conventional reel engineered for anglers who demand precision, power, and reliability when targeting hard-fighting saltwater gamefish. Built in the USA from 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum, the Tern 2 combines Accurate's signature TwinStar Drag system with stainless steel gears and an ARB anti-reverse bearing to deliver the stopping power and hook-setting authority needed for tuna, yellowtail, and other pelagic bruisers.

Built for Live Bait and Jig Fishing

The main benefit of the Tern 2 is its star drag configuration, which gives anglers the ability to make quick, on-the-fly drag adjustments during a fight — critical when a big fish makes a sudden run. The TwinStar Drag system places dual carbon drag plates on both sides of the spool for smooth, consistent pressure with no grab or stutter, even at high drag settings. Combined with the instant anti-reverse bearing, you get solid hooksets and the stopping power to turn a fish before it reaches structure.

The Problem It Solves

Many conventional reels in this class suffer from inconsistent drag pressure, heavy weight that causes fatigue during long days on the water, or gears that strip under heavy load. The Tern 2 addresses all three: the TwinStar Drag delivers buttery-smooth, consistent pressure throughout the fight, the 7075 aluminum frame keeps weight down without sacrificing rigidity, and the stainless steel gear train handles high-torque cranking without flexing or failing.

What Makes It Stand Out — and What to Watch For

Advantages: Made in the USA with 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum, TwinStar dual-drag system for smooth and consistent pressure, ARB instant anti-reverse for solid hooksets, stainless steel main and pinion gears for durability, 6 stainless steel ball bearings for ultra-smooth operation, and a power handle for maximum cranking leverage.

Considerations: As a star drag reel, it's optimized for live bait and jig fishing rather than high-speed lure casting. The single-speed design means no on-the-fly gear ratio changes — if you need two-speed capability, consider a lever drag model instead. The premium price reflects the USA-made construction and high-end components.

The Right Pick If...

You fish live bait or yo-yo jigs for tuna, yellowtail, amberjack, or other powerful saltwater species and want a reel that delivers smooth, consistent drag and rock-solid hooksets. The Tern 2 is ideal for private boaters, sport boat anglers, and long-range fishermen who need USA-made reliability without the complexity of a two-speed reel.

Best Fishing Techniques

• Live Bait Fishing: Fly-line a sardine or mackerel with the reel in free spool, then engage and set the hook — the star drag lets you fine-tune pressure as the fight develops
• Yo-Yo Jigging: Drop a heavy iron jig to the bottom and wind fast — the power handle and high-speed retrieve bring the jig through the strike zone efficiently
• Bottom Fishing: The strong drag and rigid frame make it well-suited for pulling hard-fighting bottom fish up from deep water
• Flat-Fall Jigging: Drop a flat-fall jig and let it flutter — the smooth drag pays out line without backlash when a fish strikes on the fall

Best Conditions

• Water Type: Saltwater — offshore, nearshore, and long-range applications
• Structure: Kelp paddies, offshore banks, seamounts, wrecks, and reefs where tuna and yellowtail hold
• Current: The strong drag and rigid frame handle heavy current and deep-water scenarios where lighter reels struggle
• Season: Productive year-round, especially during tuna and yellowtail seasons when live bait and jig presentations are most effective

Best For

• Species: Yellowfin tuna, bluefin tuna, yellowtail, amberjack, grouper, snapper, and other hard-pulling saltwater gamefish
• Techniques: Live bait fly-lining, yo-yo jigging, flat-fall jigging, bottom fishing
• Environments: Offshore banks, kelp paddies, seamounts, wrecks, and long-range sport fishing
• Angler Level: Intermediate to advanced — designed for anglers who understand drag management and conventional reel operation

Tackle Express Tips

• Pre-Set Your Drag: Before the first bait hits the water, set your drag to approximately 25–30% of your line's breaking strength. The star drag lets you fine-tune during the fight, but starting in the right zone prevents break-offs on the initial run
• Keep It Clean: After every saltwater trip, rinse the reel with fresh water and let it air dry. A light coat of reel oil on the handle knob and drag washers keeps everything running smooth trip after trip
• Match Your Rod: Pair the Tern 2 with a medium-heavy to heavy conventional rod rated for 30–80 lb line. A well-matched rod lets the reel's drag system work at its full potential

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between star drag and lever drag?

Star drag reels use a star-shaped knob to adjust drag pressure, giving you fine control during the fight. Lever drag reels use a preset lever system with strike and full positions. Star drag is preferred by many anglers for live bait fishing because you can make micro-adjustments on the fly, while lever drag is often favored for trolling and chunking where you want repeatable, preset drag settings.

Is the Tern 2 suitable for trolling?

While the Tern 2 can handle trolling applications, it's optimized for live bait and jig fishing where the star drag's adjustability shines. For dedicated trolling, a lever drag reel may offer more convenient preset drag positions. That said, many anglers successfully troll with star drag reels, especially for smaller tuna and yellowtail.
