Accurate BX2-500 vs. Diawa Saltist LD 2-speed reel

Flattop · 10-17-2009, 08:39 PM

I'm in the market for a 2-speed lever drag reel. Anyone have experience with the Diawa Saltist or the new Accurate Extreme 2-speed reels? I'd like to hear the pros and cons on these two reels. I'm looking to match either of these reels on a 50 lbs class rod.

I have the 400 and can't imagine anything better. I was so happy with their reels,I bought the sr 12 twinspin.

This reel has some pretty good reviews, Kilsong had some nice reviews on it as well.
