    Spinning Reel Maintenance and Repair Recommendation - Daiwa

    Anyone have any recommendations for quality reel maintenance and repair shops I can send a couple of high end Daiwa reels to??

    Appreciate anyone who is willing to share their thoughts on maintenance shops they experience with.

    Bryan at the Tackle Trap, not sure what there status is at the moment.

    Thorne Bros in Minnesota also services high end daiwa and they so a good job of it as well.

    I am fortunate enough to live close to Thorne Bros and they have serviced all of my many generations of Shimano Stella (since 2004) and Vanquish spinning reels, in addition they have also serviced all of my Daiwa 15 Exists, and my two Daiwa 17 Steez Type II Hi-Speed spinning reels with no issues or drama and their maintenance service has always been top notch and exceptional.

    Please give them a call if you are looking for great spinning reel maintenance and service.
