Re: Where to get Reel Serviced
What reels do you have? It might be safer and cheaper to service your own reels. There are tons of videos on youtube that you can watch.
I send my more expensive reels to Dandenong CA, they can service the reels in house, however they'd rather send it off to the manufacturer in case parts might need replacing, bearings are the most commonly replaced part and only cost a few bucks.

Just do it yourself unless they're really expensive. If you **** it up just take it in for a service and they'll sort it out.

I service my own reels, but if you not able to DIY, most tackle stores can help you or put you onto someone :cheers:

+1 for Geoff Simmons the Reel Doctor, I have had him service a couple of reels and very happy. He is in Ferntree Gully & worth a call.
