I was told from accurate when I bought my 665 2 speed it was in the 35 lb range. Whether its 35, 38 or 33 it should do the job fine. I have 2 665 2 speeds and I love them

I am not sure 665 two-speed and single speed are same reels.
I think 665 tw0-speed is much improved reel in terms of free spool, max drag and reduced binding problem.

 

I contacted Accurate and they said two-speed and one-speed have basically same internal parts and one speed also should get over 30 lbs drag at strike but it get binding. From my personal experience, 25 lbs drag at strike is more than enough for tuna jigging.

Great, thanx guys!
I usually set my drag at around 19lbs @ strike anyway but was just curious as to exactly how much horsepower this reel ACTUALLY has.
I appreciate it fellas!

It rather depends on the vintage of your 665. Accurate made a lot of twicks to their reels along the way. Kil's impression that 665II is a better reel may be based on the fact that the two speeds are all quite new, and thus represent the latest and greatest generation of these reels.

 

The reel is 2 years old.

 

Only? Are you sure it's a 665H and not 665HM? I don't think they've made an H in five years or more.

 

Im not sure actually. Is there any Info that I could give you that would help date the reel? Markings, Serial #, etc...?

 

The model name is on the left side plate. And a serial number, too, I believe.
