    New to this ste but regular on many others ...

    Got my NEW TOYS today

    Here are my new toys for the upcomming season. I recieved a package on Tuesday while I was away on business and when I got home i found the brand spanking new Accurate 665 Boss 2 speed. This small compact reel will put out close to 35 #s of drag with a 5:1 and 2:1 ratios. It is a tuna killer. So I immediately went to the tackle shop to get it spooled when I noticed that the Shimano Stella SW20000PG came in as well. Joy to the fishing gods. The shimano stella packs 66, yes 663's of drag while holding 500 yards of braid.

    My accurate 665 2 speed is paired up with an unbelievable rod which I used last weekend. A custom built Jigging master 500g from JPR Custom Rods. Paul did an amazing job on the rod and it performed great with some amazing first weekend out with a 100lb warsaw grouper on its first drop

    Here are some pictures of the set ups, Paul will be making me a custom spinner for the new Stella shortly

    The rod

    This is my jigging special. the rod is 5'8" and will kill many tuna this season. I have never had a better built rod. It weighs about 9 ounces and at no spot does the line even come close to touching the rod. I always see these load tests so after using it on the water last weekend i wanted to see how it would fare.

    I dont have alot of weight laying around so this test may look foolish but I cant rave enough about the work Paul did on this rod from JPR custom rods. I wanted a parabolic rod for japanese style jigging very simplistic and plain with silver accents but something that had backbone to tackle moster fish.

    I used it last weekend and fell in love with it immediately. At first glance I thought "this will be way to stiff" until I bent it and boy did I love the action. It was very easy on me pulling on fish up to 100#'s last week. I didnt feel beat up like I used to on my old rod.

    With the help of my son and some weights I tested the load.

    Picture 1 is 10 #'s and its almost nothing

    Picture 2 is at 18#'s and still perfect

    Picture 3 is at 26#'s and when I did it I felt little strain but my son who is 89#'s he was enjoying himself ha ha

    I would highly recomend both Paul/JPR Custom rods his proffesionalism and knowledge was amazing and i will be back for more. The jigging master rod took it easy on me while pulling on fish, weight loads are a great way to measure but on the water this rod was a beast

    Enjoy

    LOL

    Well lets see, I already bought him a brand new single speed 665 3 weeks ago and I put it on that 400g dragonfly rod, which now seems silly after holding yours. But i have limits to my generosity so no he doesnt get the 2 speed, the stella or my jiging master rod

    I did have him tie my line to his back and run around my yard as I reeled him in ha ha ha my neihbors think were crazy

    I have a new one i took when my son and I recently went swoding, I think you introduced yourself to him in the junior angler section. He is the one who wears flip flops

    The stella has 66#'s of drag but I never plan on finding that out. Ive fished alot and I'm know to be heavy on the drag which unfortunately breaks off alot of my prey and Ive pushed some drags real high but no where that high (66)and I plan on staying dry LOL

    One of the most impressive things about that rod is it is stiff but yet extremely sensative combined with the baraid i could feel every bump and wack. I would also like to not that although it is bent up the backbone was amazing

    I recently got one of the red and black 665's. I have yet to try it out but can't wait to do so. I'm planning on using mine for cod jigging and tuna jigging
