The Valiant 2 is the combination of time on the water and constant innovation to take this reel to the next level. The first reel to give you all the power of a TwinDrag® lever drag reel, with the castability of a Star Drag reel. The new XCT® feature helps control the spool speed when casting while minimalizing backlashes and giving you a smooth, long cast. The Centrifugal Casting Design works once the spool starts in motion giving the angler confidence in making the right cast. Accurate has also added a couple safety features to the new V2 Valiant that include a detent in drag cam prior to free spool to alleviate problems on a fish, and a push button stop prior to full drag so fish won’t be lost while increasing the drag.
This reel offers all the same built in features as its predecessor including CVX Technology making it extremely lightweight and strong, built of 6061 T6 aircraft aluminum, its light and comfortable for those hours on the rail. Precision cut 17-4 Stainless gears for strength and Direcshift® Instagage system for direct shift in and out of gears. The V2 is the Accurate answer to power and castability for today’s run and gun fishing techniques. Available in both single and two speed models in sizes 300, 400, 500, 500N, 600, 600N, 800, 800N and 1000. The V2 is also available in SPJ models in both single and two speed models including 300, 500N, 600N, and 800N sizes.

Differences Between Valiant 1 and Valiant 2
1. Improved Casting Performance – Xtreme Cast Technology (XCT)
-
The Valiant 2 introduces Xtreme Cast Technology (XCT), which provides a smoother, longer, and more controlled cast.
-
XCT reduces spool friction and backlash, making it ideal for anglers who need pinpoint casting accuracy.
-
Valiant 1 lacks XCT, meaning it doesn't have the same casting advantages.
2. More Secure and Responsive Drag Control
-
The Valiant 2 includes a Safety Detent on the Cam that prevents accidental shifts to full free spool, reducing the chances of losing control mid-fight.
-
It also features a Safety Push Button Stop for secure and intentional full-drag engagement.
-
These safety enhancements give you more confidence when adjusting your drag under pressure.
3. Enhanced Durability & Strength
-
The Valiant 2 maintains the lightweight 6061 T-6 Aircraft Aluminum frame but improves the DirecShift® Instant Engagement System, making hook sets even faster and more reliable.
-
It also retains the curved CVX® frame, ensuring strength without unnecessary weight.
4. More Comfortable Power Handle
-
The Power Arm Handle on the Valiant 2 is designed for increased torque, making it easier to crank in bigger fish.
-
While the original Valiant 1 is powerful, the Valiant 2 improves leverage and reduces fatigue, especially for offshore and big-game applications.
5. More Refined Free Spool & Bearing System
-
The Valiant 2 features a sleeved spool, reducing friction and allowing greater free spool performance for longer, smoother casts.
-
The 6 ABEC-5 stainless steel bearings ensure even better smoothness and longevity.
Verdict: Valiant 2 is Built for Performance & Control
If you want the best casting ability, better drag safety, improved torque, and enhanced free spool performance, then the Valiant 2 is the clear upgrade over the Valiant 1. It’s designed for serious anglers who need the perfect blend of power, precision, and lightweight stren
