Title: Any Reel Repair Recommendations?
Post by: scudzilla66 on October 19, 2016, 11:38:47 AM
Does anyone know of a good reel repair guy. I have a couple of Shimano reels that I would like to get serviced professionally and maybe upgrade some bearings, gears, and drags. I am located in Maryland but most places shop now a days right?

Thanks for the help

I've never used Mike, but he does own the place and its public so if he were to shaft you or do a poor job, we would know about it lo lo

If you don't do it yourself, I'd go with Mike here.

Mike knows what he's doing with a reel, by all means give him a shout.

Scudzilla66, we can definitely get you fixed up.

While we can do the upgrades you mentioned, they may not be necessary to improve performance.

What models do you have?

Well I thought if I learned the finer parts of a reel it would make me a better fisherman  :-* it just made me a better caster not catcher  ~roflmao Rodney is right though, I can find them and Mother can catch them  ~c~
