reel repair

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Depends on the reel?? If it's a 30.00 dollar reel and it will cost 50 to repair I'd toss it in the garbage. But if it's an expensive reel then yes I would get it repaired
When hell freezes over, I'll be there icefishing!!!

They do great work. I recently took them a Shimano Stella and it litteraly looks brand new.....very good workmanship. Worth the $19 to have it cleaned.

Been taking my reels there for almost 5 years and have never had an issue. Great service.

Can't say I had such good service from them.

I took my reels in back in February.

By the end of April I still hadn't heard from them so I called them up.
They said they fixed one but the other was a Warranty repair so it would have to be sent to Rocky's Tackle for repair.

So I had to go pick them up, ship it off myself to Rocky's a pray that I got it back in time for the season opener. Luckily Rocky's was quick and I got it back in under two weeks. By why couldn't they call me or send it in themselves As I would have expected them to do.

They sat on them all winter and did nothing.

I was not impressed and won't be going back any time soon.

That's odd.....I got a call as soon as my reel was ready.
