Introduction Muthos Accura Type R | Review | The best SHORE JIGGING Rod 

Thank you Stelio - OMG so already so long ago we went together for a shore session! 🤯

Thank you Alex! 🙋‍♂️

Thank you very much Giuseppe! For you Happy New Year 🙋‍♂️ Health, Luck and lot's of good fish for 2024! 🍀🎣🎯🤩 Tight lines Max

Wow nice thanks buddy 🙏🙏🙏 Tight lines Max

Thank you very much! 🙏

Hi Vladimir yes I fish Zenaq Accura 95 H. Compared to the Accura 100 H it's a little bit stiffer in the top section of the blank. It fishes jigs starting from 85 g like Gekito Jig Strike, works nice with jigs 100 g plus and casts easily also 160 g (that's what I tested). With slim style 80 g jigs it doesn't work so well. It's a Accura 95 H is a powerful rod for big fish and has no problem with deeper places or strong currents (due to the stronger tip). Casting and handling is amazing! The butt section is stronger compared to the 100 H. For traveling I use wast water pipes I cut in the length I need, to protect the rods inside you can wrap them in bubble wrap. The introduction of 95 H I will publish here in a while. Tight lines Max

Hello 🙋‍♂️, yes I use still my Catalina - love this reel too much and fish it until it breaks down I guess! 😅 TL Max

No for that kind of weight take a close look at Zenaq Sonio 100M! The DM Accura 100 H Type R I would fish with 60g at lowest level better 80g. Tight lines Max

Hi Noah, I have never fished the normal RG just casted it once from a friend. I found it a bit more stiff - that was my impression but I didn't fished it in direct comparison. If you are between RG and Type R get the type R for sure! TL Max

Hi SJ and UL Dubrovnik, Accura 100H Type R is already very well balanced rod imo. With my setup the balance point is about 10 cm ahead the real foot - exactly where I grab it. Loosing weight is a side effect of the single wrapping for sure! TL Max

@@maxdocken First thank you for promoting what is to me the best fishing brand in the world. Original accura was nearly perfect and hard to improve in any way. I remember Sensei Motobayashi telling they used singlewraps to make top section of the blank even lighter so that the rod is easier to use for a long time. TL !

@@hldemi_fishing you are right - the rod gets lighter - but it wasn't the only purpose of the single wrapping, as I mentioned in the review. Tight lines Max

​@@maxdocken In reality type R 100H gained 30 gr. Based on specs. No major issue, balance improved but bulkier. However the bait version is completely a disaster. 300-400 reel recommended by website, huge guide setup made for LD reel and thick leader, make no sense, time to improve

@@jurajsladkay2608 honestly what counts for me is the performance in the field. Some people look only on the specs and forget that a well balanced rod feels lighter in your hand than a rod which is lighter but unbalanced. As I said before with my setup Accura 100H is very nice balanced and I enjoy fishing it. About the bait model - I have no clue why you drop this comment here. 🤷‍♂️ But in general I'm sorry to hear that you are not satisfied - maybe you use it in a wrong way!? Anyway I'm not going to discuss it here! Tight lines Max

I guess you mean for spinning right? Accura 100H is very powerful but it depends of corse of the size of target fish , current ect. For big Rivers, and possibility of big fish I would go for HH or HHH. Greetings Max

Hi Fangor, what kind of lures and weight do you cast? Also an very good option could be the new 95 H - the tip is slightly stiffer compared to 100H but mid and butt part are stronger. Greetings Max

@@maxdocken Hey Max, thanks for the reply. I think I won't be casting too far as I usually search those areas around the rocks, so yeah another concern is that would 100hh work with lures under 40g? Unfortunately 95H is not available at my local tackle shop

@@maxdocken also speaking of distance, do you think 100hh significantly cast more distance than 100h?

@@fangor2451 regarding 95 H yes you have to wait until it's available, but rods are in production. A decision for a high end fishing rod shouldn't be done in a rush. To be honest, I don't have the 100 HH - so I can't tell you exact comparison details. I casted the HH once and found it relatively heavy and very strong. Casting a rod like the HH depends a lot on your physical condition and your power. I'm sure it's a great rod but at least for me I wouldn't like to have it as my all day every day rod (here in the Mediterranean), just for special situations when targeting specifically very big fish. Lures under 40g? What kind of lures are you talking about? Jigs I'm sure not, for other lures maybe but I don't think it's fun. Again, I think the 95 H could be a great choice. It has a similar tip to 100 H and a butt like 100 HH. Did you had a look at the specs of the 95 H? Greetings Max

Thank you Max, I think I'll take 95H into consideration. Do you think 100H and 95H have a significant difference in casting distance?

I don't know anything about such video. I speak about my own experience with this rod and as you see I caught very good sized fish with it. There are many ways to break a rod and it's nearly impossible to judge if you don't know the full story, especially how the rod had been treated. Tight lines Max

In the video guy mentions that he broke it by falling down or stepping on it. Something along those lines.

Hi Max, danke für deine Nachricht. ✌️ Mega das du Bock auf SJ hast - es ist eine unglaublich starke, aber auch herausfordernde Technik! 😅 Dein setup sieht ganz gut aus. Grundsätzlich gibt es hier für GR zwei Möglichkeiten - das leichtere bis 100g Jigs und das schwerere bis ca. 150g jigs. Aus meiner Sicht liegst du mit der Kombi irgendwo dazwischen - genaues kann ich dir leider nicht sagen, da ich die Rute nicht kenne. Generell wird das 100g-Setup mit einer 6000er Rolle und das 150g-Setup mit einer 8000er Rolle gefischt, denke in deinem Fall passt die 6000er besser als die 8000er. Wenn es Preislich bei dir reinläuft checke mal die Saragossa von Shimi, die wird sehr viel gefischt. Als Schnur empfehle ich dir eine etwas stärkere nehmen, entweder PE2,5 (~ 0,26er) oder PE3 (~0,29er) als Vorfach auf jeden Fall eine spur stärker 0,58er (12 bzw. 40 lbs). Tight lines Max 🙋‍♂️

@@maxdocken καλησπέρα Max, vielen Dank für die prompte Antwort. Die Technik habe ich bisher nur vom Boot aus auf Kynigos probiert, allerdings deutlich leichter mit 40gr Jiggs. Jut, dann teste ich Mal das Setup und fische etwas stärke Schnüre 🙂 Solltest du Mal nach Milos kommen lass es mich wissen! Gruß Max

@@maximus1567 bin gespannt - berichte auf jeden Fall! 🤝 Tight Lines Max

I use the old size 4500 (Daiwa Catalina 4500 H) and imo it fits perfect. Weight is about ~ 570 g. Personally I would go for the 8000 I guess.

Just to add, i have 100H Type R (big thanks to Max and his suggestions during the summer) combined with 20Saltiga 8000 and it fits perfectly.

@@HookedHounds thanks bro! 🙋‍♂️

@@HookedHounds great set. What's the max jig weight you are using with the set ?

@@krasimirk 125 grams jigs (don't have anything bigger) and jlc xipi which is around 135 grams (body+head) if i remember correctly.... works like a charm

Hello 🙋‍♂️, I guess you talk about the new reel seat right? Is is a big improvement from the first Accura model I don't mind the material it works great. Before it was polymer too I guess only the screw rings are metal. Tight lines Max

@@maxdocken Hi Max Do we fishermen buy reels with a rigid metal body and then fix it on a total polymer plate? Even though the old model was partly polymer, the 2 cheeks of the plates had a steel core and the relative screw to tighten. A classic Fuji plate would do. I don't think I will buy a product with those finishes.

@@nyon76 you can buy what ever you want but have in mind that modern reels are also full of polymer - only if you by Van Staal it's not. The review is my personal opinion and I think the hexagon reel seat is great - haptic, grip and the design. For me it is a big improvement compared to the old one. Tight lines and happy fishing for you in 2024! 🙋‍♂️

I don't think Zenaq is copying anyone.

@@maxdocken I know, I was kidding. I like 100h RG, I disliked 100hh RG A LOT, and I absolutely love Sonio 100M (which I own). But I also love my Ripple Fisher.

@@dinkobilic9078 Sonio is out of this world. Accuras and Ripples are fantastic rods. But Sonio is magic.

@@hldemi_fishing i agree, I love Sonio so much. But with other Zenaq models, so so. As I mentioned, I thoroughly disliked accura 100hh. I disliked PA89, but I own PA99 which I love. But Sonio...yes. magic

@@dinkobilic9078 I have tried 100H, 100HH, 100H type R, Sonio 100m K, Sonio 100m RG and Distance cracker. Some I loved and some I liked . 100HH I used only with pencils and poppers. But coming from a much use of softer Sonio and 100h I didnt like how it worked jigs. Distance cracker seemed like a perfect spinning rod for me, only would prefer it a bit shorter since its hard to work 300cm from a port. Whats is interesting with Sonio is its insane versatility while maintaining extreme power. I dont think similar blank ever saw the light of this world.
