thanks, guys. this one was alot of fun.

z-man, the accurate only had 40# test on it. at "h" and strike, i got 20#'s and great freespool. just for the hell of it, i pushed the preset all the way to "O" and the drag lever to strike, and the damned thing still spins like crazy. it could be a hundred pounds for all i know. this reel is incredible!!!!!!!!!

as for avets, i've had a few apart just to look, but never a quad. people only bring me what they have trouble with, and few people up here have trouble with the avets.

jack and curly, i'm a "greased drag" kind of guy. i make no apolgies for it. i've put in my time and will stand toe to toe against anyone that says different. do this and water intrusion will no longer affect drag performance. there is no downside to performance. any dry carbon fiber drag can be greased, rebuilt and hung on a scale. numbers do not lie. this accurate 12 is set to 20#'s at strike with the preset at "H". i'm told that's pretty good. and i don't know who doug is, but let me know what he says!
