First Cast: Accurate Tern 2 400 | Calstar GFDH 900L | New Surface Iron Set Up!

[@oscarjeronimo8195]

Super smooth cast on my Sabre. Caught my first surface iron yellow on a tern 2 500

[@Dirty.Hookers]

Nice man! I might look at the 500 for my other jig stick, I do really like how this feels!

[@mariojacinto5233]

Awesome video. I found this information to be quite helpful. Can you please do a follow up video on the tern 500 and cast full size jigs.

[@Dirty.Hookers]

I can try, if I end up getting a Tern 500. Definitely thinking about it, so we shall see!

[@skatelife2013]

Glad to see this back. One of your first vids i saw was your first cast that earned a sub too. I Have a new black 500, but havent gotten a chance to play with it yet. I took all the cast control brakes off, regreased it, and it feels way better than it did out of the box. If youve never used a newell, the tern2 is the closest in feel to them than any other reel ive fished. Maybe its because both are US made? Feels great in hand/on the rod. Cant wait to use mine.

[@Dirty.Hookers]

I really appreciate this feedback! Thank you for the continued support! I fished this one right out of the box, and haven't yet played with the centrifugal breaks. I also have been against casting a Newell, I'm not going to lie lol. I am afraid of liking them too much, and converting to all newell for casting. I do feel a little bit more comfortable with up to date product, because if I ever need reel maintenance, it will be easy to find replacement parts!

[@praetorangel8967]

Ray, I love your videos! Whenever me and dad talk about fishing I think of that clip of yours where the one captain says "unless you're one of those guys who uses surface iron for everything" and then it zooms in on you smirking! 😂

[@Dirty.Hookers]

I really appreciate it man, thank you! I'm struggling to remember what video this would be hahah! do you remember the title of this video?

[@praetorangel8967]

I couldn't' remember Cesar's name. Video title is "Tuna Lures & How to Fish Them | Eric's Tackle" clip is at about 4:40.

SUP......Jus Lurking🎣

[@Dirty.Hookers]

Aaahhhh, I see! Because no biters!

[@dannyromo3166]

You ought to try a all glass 530 either calstar or seeker more of a traditional 9ft (25,30) jig rod

[@batray1]

Nice set up I was wondering if you were going to do some traditional sd/Channel Islands sport fishing type of fishing but you seemed to fish more of Bahia de Los Angeles n stuff but now I think ur going to do that next season

[@tjhumphrey4210]

Reminds me of my 93 baby ulua, I used to be able to cast under 1oz hard baits to tady c’s as far a 90yds on a good cast. Whipy rods are too much fun

[@GettingBentWithBo]

Absolutely my favorite reel for throwing irons and plugs

[@Dirty.Hookers]

Casts with ease for sure!

[@DodgerJuanito]

Bro I been fishing with accurates forever. You not gonna regret it! Tight lines!

[@Dirty.Hookers]

This is my first accurate reel, and I am definitely happy with it!

[@terryclark3937]

You deserve it your vids are very good

[@Dirty.Hookers]

I really appreciate it man, thank you so much!

[@jtuck682]

Ray,congrats on bagging a new Accurate reel! I love these types of videos because they emphasize what we all should be doing prior to any trip, casting. Far to often I'm on trips were people have spent serious US legal tender (cash) for their equipment and are clueless on how to use it.

[@marceloamador92024]

Thought those reels are more flyline live bait. Allways see the fern 2s on offerup half price, used or new. Have to pick one up. Have you tried that reel on a jigging rod,

[@Dirty.Hookers]

I havent personally used this reel for a jigging rod myself. I do know they have a Jigging model though, which would be a lot more ideal for speed and slow pitch jigging.

[@seansimmons7683]

Nice video Ray! That reel would pair nice with my 9ft tri helix. What reel would you compare that to? Looked small, more like a Shimano 14. What ya think?

[@saltybeer5883]

Is this factory cast control or did you disable any brakes? I disabled all on my 500 and it casts great. I feel Trinidads are a little better at casting, but these Terns have better drag and feel really solid when fighting fish

[@Dirty.Hookers]

I was casting it stock out of the box. Definitely will have to try playing around with the breaks soon!

[@bgredd92]

I can’t wait until you hook up with a mean ass yellow at Cedros on it !

[@Dirty.Hookers]

Same! I can't wait to break it in the right way!

[@nolanoshiro2083]

try the 500 for 40lb, Danny wade was using it

[@Dirty.Hookers]

Might have to try the 500 in the near future!

[@seanhartnett9753]

You make an adjustment to the mag brakes?

[@Dirty.Hookers]

I was casting it stock right out of the box!

[@marcomunoz7453]

Cesar moves to Accurate, you buy an Accurate. Love it

[@fisherdaddy]

Duran Clamps makes a mini surface iron like 2"

[@marceloamador92024]

Accurate reels ! ! Lets go

[@Dirty.Hookers]

First time ever really feeling one out! Feels super solid and smooth!

[@FishFNR]

Bro I think I saw you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂 at the marina park

[@Tony67032]

terns have the drag on both side of the main gear, not the spool as the lever drags

[@williamhartsell6390]

I have the 800l and like it

[@andrewescoto7081]

Gotta love the 805 VC

[@joshualin3366]

spotty special would be so cool

[@warren6172]

I use a trini 16DC. Casts amazing even into the wind but the drags suck. Max 25lb line

[@ButcherisFalse]

Shimano doesnt make a reel that has a drag that sucks clown.....

[@Shhnee]

Just wait til you get some heat on the reel and it doesn’t freespool. Accurate seizes too easily since it’s machined with no tolerance. Doesn’t allow for heat expansion.

[@Dirty.Hookers]

I think it’ll be just fine for what I plan to use it for. 40lb top shot is going to be the heaviest I put on here, so it’ll be just fine against fish of that caliber.

[@Shhnee]

@@Dirty.Hookers it’s just a flaw I’ve noticed over a lot of time spooling them. Only reel that does it because they’re machined so precisely. They all look great though

[@ReedperkinsHB22]

Just another reel that isn’t as good as a Trinidad……lol

[@Dirty.Hookers]

Trinidads are pretty well equipped, but I am always open to trying something new! I will say, i definitely really liked this reel for casting small jigs! Helped a lot with minor to no backlash!
