Freshwater STRIPERS- Live Bait and Umbrella Rigs- Fall- Team Old School

One Reel does it ALL!

Accurate Reels can do it all, they have even un-cluttered my boat.

While fishing the tournament Trails, we have had to carry dozens and dozens of rod/reel combos. Some for live bait, some for trolling, some for jigging, some for cut bait (chunking), and some for casting plugs. While lugging this mass amount of gear in and out of hotel rooms day after day, it occured to me; I think these new Boss Extremes can pull the load and wear more than just one hat. It didn't take long to get it dialed in. Using just one Boss Xtreme 400, I was able to get it all done. With it's large line capacity and small profile, I was able to fish, using every style with just one combo. In one day we caught fish using live bait, trolling, chunking, and casting plugs! All with the same rod and reel, and without sacrificing ANYTHING!

It is a unique situation where buying a reel that is a little more expensive can SAVE YOU MONEY!

This is a short video we did catching freshwater Striped Bass on live bait in the morning and trolling Umbrella rigs in the afternoon.

Thanks again ACCURATE!
