Reel Repair Shops

[namgrunt]

OK Fella's, I need the name, of a GOOD and dependable reel repair shop. Hopefully in Fla.
I have picked up 3 older Shimano's, and want them gone through, and in tip top shape when returned.
The reels are, 250SG Bantam Mag Plus, 10SG Bantam Mag, and a 10Xsg Bantam.

For their age, they look great and appear to work well, but I want the "peace of mind" knowing a reputable shop has gone through them.

I generally put the rel in a box with a note saying whats wrong and my credit card info. Send it off and in abouyt 2 weeks or less I get it back. I'd call them first to see if they do service Shimano. Let me know if they do because I have changed to all Shimano.
Hope this helps.

I tried to call them several times (the Suncoast shop) to see about getting some guides replaced on a few rods and was never able to get anyone to answer the phone. If they are good, I will continue to try to get them. I had given up previously.

Thanks.

Interesting. I was up that way at Christmas and also got some stuff from them in November I think. I know the guy had some health issues. Hope all is well with him. He had a great business and did pretty good work.

To be honest, the Suncoast shop doesn't have a good name here locally.
I, too beleive it is more to do with the health issues of the shop owner than anything else.

[sanannbassman]

No problem. Just going based on my experience. Hope you find someone that can help.
