I would like to get a few of my reels serviced because kayak fishing is not kind on them, but I have no idea who would do a good job. Any suggestion on who to send them to for servicing?
What reels are you talking about?
Most of them are fairly easy to do just have a good clean well lit workspace and take a heap of digi photos as you take it apart.
I do all of mine sl20/30/50h senators emcasts abus etc
I have a couple of expensive reels which I do not really trust myself with. I have tried it in the past and would prefer spending my time doing more enjoyable activities like fishing.
My reels include Shimano Baitunner, Shimano Biomaster (Stradic) and a Daiwa Certate.
Have rebuilt a few shimanos for other guys they are qiute simple inside ( sign of good engineering to me )
Most of the reel service guys seem to be based in aucks ….
Visit Henderson every couple of weeks, especially during the Summer. Great little store with quite a good range. I buy a bit of terminal tackle and odd random items from them. They also have a fairly good selection of rods but a bit on the pricey size. Was thinking of asking the local stores on who to use for reel servicing.
