Very good reels, don't know about parts or repairs, never needed them ..yet! My son has one of those "Plays 9000" that seems pretty good too, used it heaps now for similar depths and deeper with very big sinkers without a problem, one thing is certain though, get a super rod holder, well reinforced and a bent butt rod and use it in the rod holder, even though you are not winding, just holding the rod is hard work, and flimsy rod holders will end in tears.
