ABOUT ACCURATE REELS

In 1990 David and Douglas Nilsen started Accurate Fishing Products in their family’s small aerospace factory in Los Angeles, California. In the span of  almost 30 years they have invested time, energy and passion to build a thriving American-made fishing reel company that is pushing technology at every curve to bring innovative products to fishing enthusiasts around the world. In doing so, when you buy an Accurate reel, they are jumping on that boat with you, catching that fish of a lifetime and sharing in the fishing experience we all love. Fish Hard.

In 1990, they made their first move into the fishing industry with the innovation of Accurate Gaffs. The gaffs sold well for several years, but the Twins continued to look for other additions to the business and in 1993 they designed and marketed the popular aluminum Accurate reel conversion for Penn plastic side plate reels. This was well accepted by the fishing public and created a buzz throughout the industry.

As the evolution continued the first idea for a TwinDrag reel was conceived in 1997. Both David and Douglas knew their fathers love for fishing and thought they would design a reel for him to use on the long range boats that he frequented. After a full year of research, the first TwinDrag ATD Platinum 30 was introduced. It was a long tough haul, but their reels were continuously being improved upon and successfully catching big fish.

As time went on, both David and Douglas saw the opportunity to grow the fishing business. In 2000, the first Boss TwinDrag reels were designed and introduced. These reels were widely accepted by the inshore anglers. With pliers added in 2003, and the well known SR-series TwinDrag Spinning Reels, the once small fishing business was turning into a world renowned product line. Anglers began to look at Accurate for smooth, powerful drags that stop the biggest fish.

In 2007, Boss E-series 2 speed reels were introduced with the unique concept, small reels big fish. With the popularity of braided line, our new reels captured the angler who wanted to achieve this new type of fishing.

The whole package was completed early in 2008 with the addition of Accurate Boss and SR series of rods. These rods were designed to fish with braid and were constructed with a 6 ply construction of graphite / glass. These rods are extremely light and powerful and available in conventional, spinning, and jigging.

The Twins, David and Douglas Nilsen, have spent a majority of their young lives designing and manufacturing products. Their main passion being reels that make anglers dreams come true. Without their dedication and true love of this sport, the Accurate products being produced would not be possible.

As the old saying goes “Two Heads are Better than One”. This is definitely true when it comes to David and Douglas Nilsen, because without them Accurate TwinDrag reels would just be a dream.

why twin drag?

Before introduction of our patented TwinDrag system, traditional fishing reel design applied drag to only one side of the reel spool. As a parallel, imagine trying to stop your car while braking was applied only to the wheels on one side. Besides veering you into a skid, such a one-sided system would produce a large imbalance on moving parts, create erratic pressures, and prematurely wear out brake materials. Unfortunately, the dynamics are no different in single-drag reels. Now imagine the increased efficiency of equal pressure applied to both sides of the spool: the bearings and spool shaft receive a more balanced load, translating into stronger, smoother drags, while the dual-drag design also doubles heat dissipation. TwinDrag design also requires less pressure to be applied to each side of the spool, while allowing precise drag settings with extremely little drag fluctuation. Here’s a simple comparison: Take a standard lever-operated, single-drag reel and a TwinDrag reel, set both to the same drag pressure, for example 20 pounds. While both reels will apply the same 20 pounds of drag to a running fish, the TwinDrag reel will accomplish this by applying only half the amount of side pressure to each side of the spool. The single-drag reel, however, applies all of its drag tension to a single side of the reel spool, promoting heat buildup and uneven, jerky drag performance. And here’s another Accurate advantage: the precision-adjusted drag of our TwinDrag reels will fluctuate less than a single pound in total drag range when line is pulled–at any speed–from the spool. Said another way, when the drag is set to 20 pounds on a TwinDrag reel, drag pressure will only vary between 19.5 and 20.5 pounds or less! Test that precision uniformity against other reels and you’ll see the difference.Accurate TwinDrag reels offer excellent, unhindered freespooling in every drag-setting range from less than 1-pound to total lock-down. They’re always ready to fish, right out of the box, with no additional “tuning” or “blueprinting” necessary.What all of this means to the fisherman is that our TwinDrag reels apply the smoothest, best balanced, most precisely set and maintained drag pressure possible, while not falling victim to heat buildup that can cost you fish.
