Service
is that where you take them out the front and hose them ;D if so i charge $300 per reel. I service my reels myself (yes go on play with the inuendo) oh crap where did that spring go, curse this shag pile carpet.

I'm useless so I take mine to Tackle Wherehouse where I pay about $35.00 for a Baitcaster/Overhead. Parts are extra :'(.

I've been happy with the servicing and will continue to use this store.


Cheers

That doesnt sound to bad Craigie. How often do you get them done. now that i have started buying better quality gear ill have to start thinking about this. Next question do you know if they fix slightly squashed fly reels that got accidently run over in the garage :-[

Hi Michael,

My reels are serviced very infrequently (only when I can't wind the handle any more :o ;D) so I get good value out of my servicing. Some of my reels have only had one service in 5 years others have been rebuilt twice in 3 years.

I'm sure they would have a crack at your Fly Reel .

regards
Craig.

G'day Graigie
I think that particular reel is a lost cause. interstingly enough i ran over two reels at the same time a jarvis walker and a shimano. the shimano needed a little straightening out but is fine and the other is completely cactus. guess that shows that landrovers are heavy. ;D
I have just bought a nice new ABU 6500 to replace my old shimano bantam baitcaster so i will have to pay someone to service it as its beyond me. On another note the warehouse sells some great flies but their gear is generally a bit dearer. I just cant go past those flies though guess im a sucker :D
cheers
