This is a great reel and haven't had any problems with mine other than the same hard switching from regular to flipping mode which when I worked a bit did get easier. There is a review of the Accurist CX II on http://tackletour.com and this is a step up from that reel.

Love mine and got it off ebay for a bigger discount.

I did pick up one of the reels and one thing I would like to know! First I did get the burner but the flippin switch is REAL HARD to move, are your reels flippin switch hard to move too or did I get bad apple?

Mine was wicked tight at first, but after I slid it back and forth once, it was good.

I have another question; I looked online and couldn't find anything to reference it. In the center of the reel handle there is a slotted adjuster that I am not familiar with....what's it for? finer adjustment of the mag brake?

I have no idea either what the numbers on the crank are but this reel has no magnets in it. It is strictly centrifugal braking.

Contact Quantum and they should be able to explain.

ah i missed out! i wanted a few more of those things :-/

This is a line reminder to tell you what test is on the reel.

Does not affect performanve in any way.
