Looking at the ultimate 12-15 pound class reel for big dorado here in Japan, usually flylining sardines. Caught a 40 pounder last year on a small Japanese version of the Trinidad (no clicker, but has a switch to turn the reel into a one-way winch that will give no drag). Thinking about the Boss 197, but not sure. Which is the better reel, the Boss 197, or the Trinidad 12? Thanks guys!!!

Mr. Philr21: I am just curious. I have never been to Japan and it would be pretty cool to check out some fishing photos you might have available. Any information and photos would be appreciated.

Phil, where do you live in Japan?I've been there once and went everywhere it seems and going back i two years.I did a little dock fishing and caught some interesting fish.

I live in Yokosuka, about 45 minutes from Tokyo. Check out my web page and let me know what you think.

Which way is it?My friend lives in Yokohama which is south.I went to hakone but don't know which direction that was.What's your website?I went to hiroshima,tokyo(dirtiest place ever),kyoto,Matsue, and an Island called oki off the shimane prefecture.Not okinawa just oki.Not too much ocean fishing in japan.

I have two websites. One finished at http://members.nbci.com/PhilRichmond, but doesn't have many pics of Japan. The other is http://www.bosotsuri.f2s.com/main.htm I live really close to Yokohama, and always go trout fishing in Hakone. I caught two four pound rainbows there this year. LOTS of ocean fishing to be done here, went today before work. Suzuki seabass, yellowtail, and kurodai (black sea bream?) are my targets off base right now. Phil I only live about 20 minutes from Yokohama.

I wish I was going there in two weeks.I got invited to go but turned it down(don't ask me why it's a long girl story).They are visiting all over Japan.When I go back to Japan in two years I will have to get my friend to take me fishing from these places but it's tooooooooooooooooooooo hot.Atsui!!

Got a new Accurate reel ( I know, I know, but the price was right.) Got the Boss 197, brand new in the box. Guess what? The clicker don't work. Noooooooo! Sad

Hara: when you coming back to Japan? E-mail me with more info, maybe we can meet up sometime.

08-06-2001, 10:36 PM

E-mailed accurate and told them what happened. One of the owners of the company called my house here in Japan at 2am! Asked what the problem was and stated they'd repair it no problem. Maybe their customer service has gotten better?

08-07-2001, 12:11 AM

Phil, I'll make sure I have your email.I'm for sure going in two years from basically now.Almost to the day. You can check out the group I went with http://www.yonseiyouth.com http://www.joho-shimane.or.jp/cc/sic/8-0/01spring/1.htm I'm on yonsei 6 I'll be visiting the same places as before.Matsue,Oki-gun,Hiroshima,kyoto, and toyko As far as accurate they have been very good with the customer service department. Hope to meet you someday when I go. Maybe go fishing in Hakone(probably the most beautiful place I've been) and actually see Mt.Fuji on the aerial tram.

That’s one thing not many can say bad about Accurate… Their Customer Service is… TOP a the Line. Their product is Still being figured out, getting the bugs out of the NEW design. `couple years, I believe their reels Will be worth the $$$. They are now if you get the upgraded & newer models. & for the timing of the call…[shocked]… That’s a tough one, I “think” it’s 19 hours behind Hawaii so 21 for SoCal..? We get plenty late night calls at my house. Fair chance when ya get the reel back, it’ll be an upgraded one, maybe not the old one `fixed. [ Smile

Since the reel is new, they'll upgrade it. But they want $50 to do it. Was impressed by the phone call nonetheless though. They didn't know where they were calling, I listed my FPO/AP CA address on the site, so don't blame them for the time. 17 hour time difference from CA. Hey Dan, I was just in Hawaii. I caught a hammerhead from the pier in Hickam that was 7'4" head to tail, and a tiger that was 6'6" and 12" accross. Any idea how much these sharks weighed? Saw a thing online, but it uses fork length, and I measured total. Thanks.
