My wife ordered the accurate 300 BV for father’s day. A few months back I ordered the cheapest jigging combo that JJ sells. It worked great but I just need something a little beefier . If you are getting into jigging and looking for a combo save up and buy something nice the shimano torium is nice and works great but that accurate is the last reel you will need to buy for a long time
Great video. I concur with all you said; but feel I need to add a bit. I mostly fish Kayak saltwater in So. Cal. I don,t always get to prime deep water (in Ca. we are limited to less than 600') I love bottom fishing for Ling cod, and other Rock Fish; but also pursue Bass; Calico, Sand and spotted bay bass. I take out 3 rods, one for bait, one for casting/trolling. On my retired Trucker budget I matched the 300 SPJ to the Temple Reef Elevate 2 that I bought from you. I LOVE IT. No outfit is perfect for everything, but this one fits my Kayak and multi species fishing as close to perfect as I need. I fish jigs from 42g Coltsniper to your Flatfall at 180g with a couple of 200g Torpedo type jigs on 30# Diawa J8 Braid with 20-30# topshots. I use the great gear from your shop for swivels, rings, hooks and such. You have helped make me a very happy retired fish chaser.
This video talked me into this reel which I coupled with your Slow element ELSJ-B62M PE3. I am now spoiled by this light powerful combination. I put a SPJ power handle on my Boss fury 400 which made it even nicer. But now I want another DV300 in one of those fancy colors.
Great review! That's the reel I use for SPJ on the west coast. I spool it with 420 yards of #20 yozuri. No problem fishing 600 feet deep water. Lightweight, Powerful, Smooth. The only downside is the price.
Brodies Thank you!!! Best advice I can give is be consistent. Don't give up EVER and make sure you are happy with your content. If there's anything specific I can help you with feel free to reach out to the shop. Ask for Johnny. If I'm not fishing I'm usually there Mon-Fri...Jig on!
@@JohnnyJigsTV 1 quick question I really want a slow pitch jig and rod but they are just sooo expensive do you have any in the shop that are a good price and good quality, thanks!
@@brodie_speer2772 I just got a oceans legacy slow element from them for and love it. It's about half the price of the $600 rods, sensitive and from what I've seen unbreakable
Did you scale to see if you could really get 23 at full w/ 10 at strike? Would be interested to know... The drag cam profile on my accurate ATDs sucks, had to get them reground to have the workable range I needed. Wonder if they've improved things on newer models.
Hello. Trying to decide which braid to put on my new 300spj. Mostly for inshore but occasionally pushing the limits in deeper waters. Is there a reason you would suggest 20lb over 15lb on this reel for anything under 500ft? I’ve heard people say go heavier inshore and lighter in the deep. But my instinct would be to go lighter on a smaller reel.. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks
I put nomad ammonite pe2 on mine. It’s the same diameter as 20lb braid but it’s breaking strength is over 40lbs I think 48lbs of breaking strength. I got 450 yards of it on my 300 spj
Awesome...Lenny I used that reel for micro jigging last week. We crushed it. I will have the video out next week. Wait till you see this. Who knew micro jigging can be so much fun.😁😁
@@JohnnyJigsTV weather permitting im heading out on the "Magic" 1 of Capt Yuris boats after your Yankee trip. Im gonna stop in on the way down and check out the new store and grab some more heavy torpedos if u have some and other last minute gotta haves. Lol
I don't mean to sound like a douche (i know, too late). Max drag means the max a reel can do in lab conditions. Typically, you are looking at an empty spool with drag cranked all the way up. Realistically you wouldn't fish that way. Second, 10-12 pounds at strike with a full spool is too high for a 23lb max drag reel. Six to nine pounds would probably be safer for the reel.
That was my point. Most people think that they are at 10-12 but actually are fishing more like 8-10. If you needed to stop a fish the idea is that you have the option of pushing the drag to that extent. I do realize that there is alot of miss information out on social media so we do try our hardest to only list the facts including the ratings of the reels as specified by the manufacturers. I have many many hours on that reel and can tell you from my experience it fishes just fine at 12 pounds of drag in the strike position. I mention drag in several of my other videos ( fishing videos) and we suggest 10-12 pounds of drag several times. I don't think you sound like a douche at all. You are absolutely correct..Jig On! Johnny
@@JohnnyJigsTV Agreed. A lot of people think they actually need 23+ pounds of drag to land a fish. But in actuality, 23 pounds is an insane amount of drag. PS, your shows are awesome and keep making them.

been watching you guys for awhile now. The Accurate BV 300 SPJ seems like an awesome weapon in the SPJ arsenal. Good review video!
Great video Johnny. Just picked up mine from your store. Can’t wait to get the line wet with it. Jig on.
Dan the man...Thanks bro

but I had better save my pennies for a reel with more capacity for the trip I will someday make down to FLA to learn from the masters.

Great reel. Now just make one left hand and I’m sold!
Hope these are still in stock when I swing by the shop this weekend!
🤞I'm sure we will.
Sick reel. Wish it was a tad cheaper though. Lotta dough for a pint sized reel, even with the power it has.
Get’em Jhonny!
Thanks for your help guys
Hey man your a big inspiration for me I’m trying to get my fishing channel up do you have any recommendations?

We have some quality set ups under $500. Take a look through our site when you get a chance.
@@JohnnyJigsTV Thanks! I will

Would love to see a review about the Seigler SGN
I will put that on our list for sure
I second that!
Can you also do a review on the new Daiwa saltiga LD ?
I will put that on the content board
I will add that to the content board
2020 Saltiga LD is stronger, smoother than talica, ocea. Its war mechine.
Size 10H,15H is for jigging.
Thks ur video but i do not what type of bait jig for reel etc... 100gr or more
Did you scale to see if you could really get 23 at full w/ 10 at strike? Would be interested to know... The drag cam profile on my accurate ATDs sucks, had to get them reground to have the workable range I needed. Wonder if they've improved things on newer models.
We did not.....But thank you for the suggestion.
Howdy, howdy! Can you you compare this BV 300 SPJ with the Seigler SGN? Just curious as they spec out very similarly. Thanks!
Ooo that is a great idea...Thanks Jon
One of my local tackle shops has a couple. I’m considering one. US made, lifetime warranty. A few unique brilliant engineering advances.
Wondering if there is any other reel of this type & size around 10oz.?
How would this reel pair with a Centaur Combat arm SPJ?

What do you guys use for backing on your jig reels?
Just a little bit of tape
👏👏👊
Good content but need to see more fish 🐟🐠🐟 in the video 😁
Next video...👍
Is it worth getting the 2 speed version?
I got the 2 speed and it’s 100% worth it I switch down to the lower gear if I need some more power or need a little break
You get way more ‘leverage’ ( actually torque ) with the lower gear, than just a longer crank arm. My opinion. Would I buy one as Demo’d? Hell yes!
1st view👍🏾

Most importantly-MADE IN USA
The handle is so long. It touch my belt. Daiwa saltiga 35jh has handle length is better
