I have a new accruate 665. Its only caught a handfull of BFT and other stuff like AJ's and Grouper.

The first use the pre set drag knob popped off and was missing a c-clip. At that point I didn't even get the reel up to 20lbs drag. I sent it back to Accurate and they repaired free of charge which other than shipping. I was very happy with service.

Now after a couple BFT trips fishing drags from 20lbs-27lbs I have just about lost my high gear ratio speed.

This is not a bash on Accurate but I now have to send back my reel for the second time, and its only been out a few times. The funny thing is that 90% of fish fighting time the reel has been in low gear.

The drag is great along with power, but I may have a bad reel or something. Even the lugs for reel clamp were wrong when the reel came in the mail brand new.

Anyone else have these troubles or suggestions! Thanks.

the high gear is 6.0:1 which is too high for fishing the bottom as i learned when i tried it. They don't have the best pure cranking power but the reel is very good IMO.

Wow, I know there 's a modification set called docking system from Jigging Master , but it's for Accurate E-Series single speed only, it's a pitty that Accurate does make good balanced reels but only the gear are made of shape in straight bits, if they can be made as slope bits, I am thinking it should be more endurable.
