theres no 2 speed on the big everols. ive been thinking about the duel because of the quick 2 speed handle (reel backwards). just careful not to get your gear stolen thats the only thing thats turned me away from getting a super high class reel.

Not sure where you got this info from :?: They make two speeds including the 14/0 and 18/0. I have a 14/0 2spd on its way..........

As to the OP, it really depends on budget. I personally would rather find a used 14/0 everol (same size as an ATD 130, or Tiagra 130 etc), but I think you left out one other choice as well....the Fin Nor Santiago 130 that you can get from tackledirect and get a free 300 dollar reel with it.

I think with Duel 12/0Wide (2K unless find one used), Accurate ATD 130 (2k unless find one used, never found one used before) or everol 14/0 (1550 new, unless find one used) or 18/0 everol (1800, never seen one used) you will be happy but it comes to price in my book and one other thing. Everol doesnt restrict you with a strikebar, I can ease all my drag into a fish and not have to slam it in him and potentially pull hooks. It also has a simple metal slider that you can set a strike bar if you really want it. Oh and I have yet to service my 12/0 everol in over 2 years, running strong through sand, saltwater, thrown to ground and of course lots of sharks and goliaths. And my 12/0 doesnt weigh that much really at all, now the harnell 585 it is on is another story :mrgreen:

You can find used 14/0s everols once in awhile, I just bought a 2spd for 600$ shipped and there is an overpriced one speed on ebay now for 750$.

If I had the money for new, id go with duel, accurate, everol or even Fin Nor Santiago....id stray away from the internationals and tiagras as your in a whole new category for fishing.

If you want top of the line, go with the accurate ATD

X2
with out a doubt the nicest piece of fishing equipment I have ever touched. But... the hell with the cost :twisted: I cant find a single justified reason to spend that much on a reel.

I bought mine used, buying everols new can be tricky right now because of the crappy euro to dollar conversion. Alltackle.com told me they can get the big reels but it would take some time.
