Thanks for the link Jetty. I am not a tackle junkie but love to read and see what is out there and what others are using. Don't get me wrong I love tackle but don't spend alot on it. Keep it simple is my new moto as I spent alot of money on tackle over the years and had most of it stolen last year out of the Cope. After replacing the "essentials" I thought about it and over 3/4 of the stuff I had I never used :shock: . Tackle is great as in rod and reels (I actually own more of em this year then previous)but for lures etc. this is what I'm talking about I don't need all the lures etc.
Now then I was just looking through my pockets and found a few bucks, gotta go Canadian Tire (sells tackle) might still be open :D .

You can't go wrong when you fork out even the Kanook bucks, for an Accurate Product.
If I had more flow'age myself right now, my quiver would be even more silver'ish.
Me too, I buy and sell too much stuff. I have a small truck load of stuff on the For sale forum right now.
I like to keep my tackle (rods and reels) to a small set of go-to stuff, and use as much live/natural bait as possible. With small exception on Jigging spoons and trolling spoons, because they always catch, when between bait is scarce.
Here it's just a few things:
Live shrimp #1
Live/dead - herring, sardines, Menhaden or cigar minnows #2
3-1/2 Drone spoon #3
Butterfly style jigs etc. for fun #4.

JETTYWOLF,
Recently bought an ATD-30 platinum and understand that she is high maintenance. Is this your experience? How often do you service/lube your accurates? Seller told me these reels are finely tuned; perform like no other but due to their close tolerances need more frequent lube jobs. What's yer take?

How are you Calloy/Don and your wonderful other Sheri doing? I would think it depends on usage and the amount of fish you pull on and how well you take care of them (rinsing off, general oiling, salt-X spray.)
Are you ready to pull on some fish and use that bad boy????? PM Me.

In at least eight years or more of ownership, they have never skipped a beat!!!!!
MORE LIKE ZERO MAINTENACE, is what I do with mine.
Just wipe with damp cloth.
Ubsolutely the best I have ever laid hands on, In my opinion. Just because of that. Lik my boat!
Here's a really good link to servicing, if you ever have too. I have not had to do crap. Now that one you have is a 2 speed(??) and larger, who knows.
I have no need for a 2 speedmyself.
I used to deal with Linda, she knows her stuff. Here's a link she sent to Mr. Charkbait.
