Accurate Boss Valiant Conventional Reel – Black – BV2-500-B

The Accurate Boss Valiant series offers single-speed baitcasting reels that are suitable for both onshore and light offshore fishing. These reels are designed to be compact and lightweight, while still maintaining strength, durability, and excellent fish-fighting capabilities. They are specifically designed for shallow water jigging, but can also be used for coastal fishing, snapper fishing, silver salmon jigging, and angling for tuna, yellowtail, and dorado.

The BV2-500-B reel is incredibly small and lightweight, but its unique curved body design provides the structural stability of larger models. Despite its smaller size, this reel can handle more pressure than other reels of similar size due to its non-flexing frame and side plate. Accurate has also managed to fit the drive train of a larger reel into the compact profile of the BV2-500-B.

Accurate has introduced a new function called Cam Stop™ at strike in these Boss Valiant Reels. This feature creates a solid indent in the Drag Cam, preventing the drag lever from going into full drag. This eliminates the need for additional buttons at the free spool and striking positions. During intense fights with big fish, this function acts as a fail-safe, preventing the angler from applying too much drag.

Despite being single-speed reels, the Accurate Boss Valiant reels offer performance comparable to two-speed reels. They come with features such as anodized 6061 T6 aircraft aluminum construction for corrosion resistance, easy-to-locate and smooth strike, a sleeve for higher capacity free spool, 2 ARB bearings with seal washers for increased corrosion protection, and precision-cut stainless steel gears. The reels also have a recessed ergonomic thumb plate for comfortable use.
