Accurate VT-500N-S Valiant 2 Lever Drag Conventional Reel

ACCURATE VT-500N-S VALIANT 2 LEVER DRAG CONVENTIONAL REELBorn from relentless innovation and years of on-the-water experience, the Accurate Valiant 2 Lever Drag Conventional Reels push the boundaries of reel design and performance to new heights. The Valiant 2 merges the raw stopping power of Accurate’s TwinDrag lever drag system with the effortless castability typically found in a star drag reel. At the core of this advancement is the new XCT (Xtreme Casting Technology), which manages spool speed during the cast, minimizing the risk of backlashes while still delivering smooth, controlled, and impressively long casts. Its centrifugal casting design activates only when the spool is in motion, giving anglers the confidence to make precise presentations in a variety of conditions.Like its predecessor, the Valiant 2 comes fully loaded with Accurate’s proven technologies. CVX Technology delivers a strong yet lightweight frame by machining aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum into a sleek, rigid form that’s comfortable to fish with for long hours. Precision-cut 17-4 stainless steel gears provide incredible durability and cranking power, while the DirecShift InstaGage system allows seamless, immediate transitions in and out of gear. Designed with todays fast-paced, run-and-gun fishing styles in mind, the Valiant 2 is offered in both single-speed and two-speed models across a wide range of sizes. For anglers who prefer specialized techniques, the Valiant 2 is also available in dedicated SPJ (Slow Pitch Jigging) models in both single and two-speed versions, as well as “Light Line” models with drag cams and gear ratio’s optimized for fishing with lighter monofilament lines.With its balance of power, castability, and innovative design features, the Valiant 2 delivers the performance serious anglers demand when the pressure is on.ACCURATE TECHNOLOGIES FEATURED IN VALIANT 2 REELS:TwinDrag Technology – Accurate’s patented TwinDrag system uses carbon fiber drag washers paired with stainless steel friction washers on both sides of the spool, delivering unmatched strength and an exceptionally smooth drag performance.DirecShift Technology – With DirecShift, there’s no backward handle movement or need to ease pressure when shifting. The low gear stays constantly engaged, seamlessly meshing with the high gear to deliver smooth transitions at any speed you choose.CVX Technology – This innovative machining process, born from experimental design, removes up to 25% of the material while maintaining the trusted strength anglers expect from Accurate. By incorporating both external and internal arcs reinforced with internal rib supports, the design proves that lightweight construction can still deliver exceptional power.Xtreme Cast Control Technology (XTC) – XTC uses a centrifugal force spool braking system designed to deliver maximum casting distance while keeping backlashes to a minimum. XCT is available on all Valiant 2 models except 800/800N/1000, and all SPJ sizes.ADDITIONAL FEATURES:6061 T-6 Aircraft-Grade Aluminum – Ultra-light yet durable construction for all-day fishing comfort.6 ABEC-5 Rated Stainless Steel Bearings – Delivers seamless and fluid operation.Precision-Cut 17-4 Stainless Steel Gears & Gear Shaft – Unmatched strength and longevity.Power Arm Handle – Increases torque for better leverage and control.Stainless Steel Anti-Reverse Bearing – Ensures reliability under heavy loads.Sleeved Spool Design – Reduces friction, allowing for greater free spool performance.Safety Detent on Cam – Prevents accidental shifts to full free spool.Safety Push Button Stop – Provides an extra layer of control when going to full drag.
