Whose your favorite Penn reel servicer. I got a bunch of 450ssg and 4500 I want to have gone through. Not CMS after the last cluster%$%$%$%$ they sent back.

That's the first negative thing I ever heard someone say about CMS. Seriously. Didn't even know they did reel repair.

Surfland B&T has a good rep for reel repair.

I've had mostly positive experiences with Bucko's in Fall River.

Ditto the CMS comment, Luds. I really like those guys.

Luds they had my reels for like 6 months? Sent it back with a bent main shaft so the spool wobbled and rubbed. I bought and replaced same from Penn parts myself. Also previously had 2 rods for 8 months for minor repairs. Got tired of playing this game and they don't sell my stuff anymore because of it either.

Hence why I'm asking who else can I send this stuff to for good service. I don't have time to work on the stuff myself anymore. For the record I bought at least 8 reels and 2 custom rods from them too.

BTW: The only decent striper I have caught so far this year was on the big dawg I got from you in Worcester.
