Looking for a new trolling reel for trolling hard lures like Storm Deep Thunder.
Was thinking of Accurate bx2-500 but have been reading of them blowing up.
 
What do you use.

Hi Bonefish
Ok as far as Accurates go they are superb quality reels, if you want to discuss them best to talk to Kane at Decoro fishing supplies in Mt Mauganui, ph 0508 545 545, he is the Accurate man, as far as reels to suit deep diving bibed lures I would suggest any of the Jigging master PE range of reels with perhaps the PE7 or PE8 with 80lb braid should be perfect for deep diving lures with plenty of Drag if required, as far as what I use is generally the Avet JX 4.6:1 with 80lb Braid for jigging and trolling bibed lures for Kingfish etc, 
However If you intend to target the tropical species like Big Dogtooth, then I would suggest something like the Alutecnos Gorilla 12C with up to 40lbs of drag pressure out of the box, so there are many reels to choose from to suit, and that is not even going into all the Shimano range of reels which do a great job for this application, cheers swordfishsteve
